In Chile too! We found this in a very uber educational Zoom. A very intellectual conversation about toilet swirls that occur below the equator :rofl:

Don’t want to derail 


Didn’t know where to put it. You cannot say Germans have no humour. It’s a speed limit sign to reduce noise on a bridge crossing a 6 lane highway.

That’s pretty ridiculous! Taking German precision to a whole ‘nother level.

I’m not religious yet I work a 12 step program, I’m free to do this or stop whenever I want. I also choose to use the word God for a power I have found inside of me. Yes it is my imaginary friend and I’m likely mad or schizophrenic but it’s better than the madness my mind was in before and I’m sober with a routine to share with my sponsees who are also sober so who gives a shit what anyone else thinks.

The concept of free will has never become moot to me. It is of utmost importance. Without it, I would not be abstinent.

Maybe the moderators can move those comments to the derailment thread?

I don’t think free will is a lost concept because people find themselves unable to choose when they are in the grasp of addiction. Free will is something that everyone has, but some circumstances can remove or limit choices. When you impair your brain through substance abuse, you literally lose the cognitive power to make some (or a lot of) rational thought. Continued abuse erodes our abilities to use our higher faculties.

It is free will though that gets anyone sober, or kills them.

If it’s really three months ago, your average speed from this alone is about 2 mph / 3 kph. Basically constantly walking even while asleep.

Nice.

(I worked with a guy who traveled so much one year he calculated his average speed for the year to be something like 20mph/30kph just from flying. Lol.)

You’ll note my cruise control is set to 97km/hr. Hooray for 80km/hr rural roads & country living! :rofl:
