    At home I can deal with it (and have done). Hotels are a different story and they don’t all have shower heads you can reposition. I’ve even been in ones where the gap between my head and the ceiling would not fit a showerhead between.

    Same with sinks and work surfaces. If I control the space you can bet it’s all comfortable for me, but I don’t always had that luxury.

    That isn’t even the worst thing. Sinks are. Especially those big, deep professional ones where the bottom is somewhere south of your knees. But even ordinary sinks are almost always too low to be comfortable and you have to do this little half stoop/lean to use them properly.

    Also showers in hotels. The controls are low, and sometimes the showerhead is at or bellow shoulder height.

    Squeezing into an airline seat is comparatively fine, and I tend not to have to worry about the guy in front reclining because they physically can’t. And the look of fury dying in the eyes of the chap who just turned round to complain about it is a memory that warms me to this day.








  • I think it would be right in saying the scientific method hasn’t ruled it out as it hasn’t been applied to the phenomenon in question. There is also no reason to believe it did happen, and our current understanding suggests that if such a thing as a portal is possible (whatever portal means here) it likely would not ‘just happen’.

    Assuming the witness isn’t just lying, I think the best thing would be to rule out psychological or neurological causes first. But without a portal to actually study, the scientific method isn’t going to get very far.

    As I said, their problem isn’t that fascism is bad, it’s that they don’t like the word, or anything that looks like 1930s fascism. For them it’s a marketing problem that needs a marketing solution. How do we sell it to a country that hero-worships a generation that made war against it and first hand saw the evils it produced. Folk hate being called a fascist even if they fully support all the policies.
