  • So you’re the one breaking into people’s homes, leaving unmarked boxes hiding God knows what, eating cookies and drinking their milk, giving children false hope, terrifying others into believing they’re bad, spreading lies to cover your tracks and telling people about your fantasies about flying to the north pole with magical reindeer. Once we stop you we’ll be able to put an end to your operation and those thousands of indentured slaves you keep in your hideout to make all those supposed ‘toys’ you use to hide all your contraband!!!

    There’s more than enough room for psychos like you at Arkham Asylum!!!











  • To me its the same as the thought about survivorship bias … you want the best flooring material for the place that will most likely get the most damage.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias

    You seldom use the bedroom floor because all you really do there is sleep … basically wake in the morning and walk on at night before bed. And you seldom bring anything serious into the bedroom like liquids, hot / cold food, drinks or cups or containers.

    The living room has moderate traffic and again you don’t really use it during the day.

    A high traffic area is the bathrooms because everyone goes there on a regular basis.

    The most high traffic area in any house will always be the kitchen because everyone is constantly working and walking there … and it is always exposed to liquids, solids, spills, hot stuff, cold stuff, broken stuff, glass, ceramic, metal, pots, pans. And you sometimes have crowds of people there … all working and basically scrubbing the floor with all those feet.

    It’s the reason why you should have the best, hardest and most expensive flooring in any house.

    If you are going to invest in expensive flooring … put it in your kitchen because that is where it will be most useful and last for years in your house. If you install cheap floor in your kitchen, you’ll be replacing it in less than 10 years or even less if the flooring is really cheap. After you replace flooring two or three times, it would have been the same cost as buying one good layer of expensive flooring anyway.






  • My favourite part of the film.

    I’m Indigenous Canadian and as young boy I remember heading out to one of my distant family’s hunt camps on James Bay coast in northern Ontario one year. We drove out on snowmachines in the early spring and went from camp to camp to get to where we were going. Met so many people it was great. At one camp, it was an earth hut that was old and ancient, built right into the swamp and froze every year. It was so low to the ground that in the winter time it was completely covered in snow and ice just next to the treeline of open tundra. A path led down to the entrance and inside it looked like something from Middle Earth with a little camp stove and light flickering out from holes in the stove. A bit of candle light but it was dark everywhere with only one tiny opening to the sunlight creating a pillar of light in the middle of the room. Smoky from the fire, steamy from the dampness inside, a low ceiling and everything old, tattered, dusty and dirty.

    The owner of this camp was an old Cree trapper that looked like Radagast, complete with an old fur skin hat that was as old as he was all twisted and flopping randomly in different directions. An old wrinkled brown face, long greying unkempt hair and a thin beard. He had bright grey eyes and he was completely eccentric and funny. The only thing missing from his camp was a sled pulled by giant rabbits.
