That's a useless definition. What is "reasonable"?
|
|
|
|
|
I'd say it's not a definition for mindless drones, but for people.

I maintain that it is useless. Without saying what "reasonable" is, you haven't really defined anything. What "reasonable" is, is at least as big a question as what "poverty" is. Different people would give different answers. You can never take that definition and win (or even lose) an argument - both sides would claim to be right, and the other to be wrong. It's a definition that allows you to arbitrarily get true or false for a predicate, depending on your mood and the phase of the moon. This definition allows you generate arbitrarily apocalyptic sensational news items, simply by choosing your "reasonable" parameter.
This just in, 99% of EU in fuel poverty! (using our best guess for 'reasonable')"
It just doesn't work.

So when you describe someone as "piss poor", you mean what exactly?

Twin poverty. Most people can go a day without eating so I suggested to my mrs that we feed our twins on alternate days but she doesn't agree.

You're lucky DD is off today, you know how he dribbles into his keyboard when you say things like that!

No ... he just dribbles anyway!

Attack, that was barely a skirmish. I got the bastard, though I am surprised that just one spam vote seemed to nuke im.

On Friday, whilst out sopping with Mrs Wife, I saw the KitchenAid Stand Mixer[^]. It is a thing of beauty and practicality; plus until 24th December there's a free Ice Cream Maker [While stocks last, not to be used in conjunction with other offers]. Now I ummed and aaghed when Her Beautifulness said she'd get it for me for Christmas. Saturday, in a different store, I saw it again. This time they also had the pasta attachment to which I oohed; and maybe even ooked.
Then yesterday my darling and the grils went shopping in Woking. As she walked around Debenhams, she saw they had 10% plus another 10% for cardholders [which she is] making it £350 give or take. Taken.
I must now leave it alone for three weeks, 1 day and 12 hours.

How many man-points did you say came with your machine?

There are no man points available until after I use it. The Ice Cream should be worth around 4,800,000 alone.
And I've got a circular saw already, though I might get a table saw as well.

Very useful kit! Get an expensive one with a good heavy base and as much up/down/tilt control as you can, and allow lots of space round it! (Don't bother with the saw / planer / shaper jobbies, they don't do any one job well and clog up with sawdust far too easily.)
Oh, and try to make sure you can change blades easily!
