I think im the worlds worst carpenter

Totally agree and I am not excluding myself from this. I've done some really questionable things that even I roll my eyes at.

But shenanigans are always the best part when we are together!

Dude, remove the beer from the equation and things might get better?

Looks pretty good but yes, we need this to be translated into American. And can the next episode be about carpentry?

The "translate into American" part means - are those sweet peppers or hot peppers? In the US paprika means paprikash, the red Hungarian pepper. Those look like what we call green bell peppers by the slice size.

Also when you say 1 part beef, 1 part onion, and 1 part pepper, do you mean three equal parts by weight? By volume? By???

Here in the US, most people cook by volume measurement. Dietitians, Foods and Nutrition specialists, chefs, professional cooks and bakers tend to favor cooking by weight. I know that in much of Europe cooking is done by weight; I don't know about Finland.

I try to forget some of those things but in my minds eye, I can still see the events. Shameful.

Do you need a carpentry discussion?

Actually, back in 1968 there were some incredible riots in St. Louis and a lot of other cities around the country. In fact there were riots all over the country in different cities from the mid-1960s into maybe the early 1970s. They even managed to have one in Portland, OR.
...

I don't recall the '68 riot in St. Louis. I do know there were terrible race riots in East St. Louis, Illinois in 1917 that officially killed 39 blacks and 8 whites but other reports put the total at closer to 400.
It started because people were angry that blacks were getting good industrial factory jobs. Then rumors spread about black men fraternizing with white women.
3000 white men descended on the downtown area and randomly attacked black men. Over 200 buildings were destroyed. They even killed a 14 year old boy and scalped his mother.
The governor called in the national guard but reports were that they joined in on the rioting.
It begs the question, why? And the phrase, can't we all just get along?

At least you are endeavoring to persevere.

Is that my problem?

Even good carpenters have been there.

Quote: I've done worse.

When the screwdriver you are using slips off of the head of the screw and stabs you in your other hand, that's bad. But when it happens two times in as many minutes, that's just stupid.

Higher education doesn't disseminate common sense.

I work with MA and PHD students and faculty here.

Don't I know this!

I figure while I might be fat enough, I don't have enough coops. Something like that.
