I love ginger beer, and the Bundaberg version is quite good, though a little mild for my taste. I prefer Old Jamaica, although I didn't appreciate the...

I've read the lectures on Kant's CPR. Really good. He talks about the block quite a lot there.

Your circumlocutions are making me nauseous, Outlander. :wink:
December 01, 2025 at 11:58
The way I put it was inadequate. What I should have said is that those who disagree with the OP find that statement, or more specifically its role in ...
December 01, 2025 at 10:17
:up: Otherwise, I still have no idea what you meant by "behavior no person of any sex or society should tolerate." For what it's worth, the OP's subst...
December 01, 2025 at 09:56
What behaviour are you referring to here?
December 01, 2025 at 09:41
No, I'm not trying to score points, just helping out by correcting your faulty interpretation, since I know @"Banno" better than you. There is never a...

I don't think there is anything in this post—the post with which I today re-entered the discussion—which is unfriendly or dishonest. Can you point it ...
December 01, 2025 at 09:19
Meaning all you have in response to an honest and friendly critique is rhetoric, so it isn't worth pursuing in the philosophical spirit in which I int...
December 01, 2025 at 08:40
I should have known better.
December 01, 2025 at 08:24
Yeah, I've learned a lot from that thread too. I'm sure there are several books I've read because someone posted about them there. I've added several ...
December 01, 2025 at 06:51
I'm just going to butt in here to point out that the term has a technical sense, to be found in Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations: EDIT: But...
December 01, 2025 at 06:42
Yes, and I want to keep it in a category which is not hidden from the main page.
December 01, 2025 at 06:41
@"Philosophim" When I posted my contribution on page 2, the exchange between us got heated and I stepped back. But since you seem to me now to be moti...

I haven't read them all but I get the impression that all his lectures from the late 50s through to the late 60s set the stage to varying degrees, all...

Fascinating stuff, thanks. I'll have to read it. Not sure when I'll get back to ND. Soon I hope.
December 01, 2025 at 03:39
:cool: In the 19th century there were 40 breweries in Edinburgh. All the large breweries have gone, and it's only micro-breweries operating now. When ...

Cheers! Maybe it tastes better in Madrid, like Guinness in Dublin.

Videos like that are part of the problem, in my opinion. Even aside from the surface-level analysis, notice the constant background music, a distincti...

I pronounce it "Turkish coffee pot". I don't know, you're probably close.

I think you can get big cezves. But whatever works.
November 29, 2025 at 07:15
When I first went to the Caucasus, which is populated by many Turkic peoples, I was so naive and innocent that I had never experienced Turkish coffee ...
November 29, 2025 at 05:22
That's right. But Thrasymachus's psychological withdrawal sets the scene for the rest of the book, which is meant to defeat cynical nihilism philosoph...

Alas, I had to leave my chickens in May 2015.

Something cabbage with beef, that says. Stewed, it turns out. Sure, sounds ok. Yeah, I think I've made that before, though I didn't know it was a Sout...
November 28, 2025 at 16:12
Cabbage and bacon? Count me in.
November 28, 2025 at 11:54
Maybe, but probably wouldn't last very long.

My wife entered the house yesterday and joyfully called out, "come and see what I've got for you snookums!" I went to see, expecting a rare luxury or ...

I'm working on it.
November 28, 2025 at 07:06
Those websites you mention are traditional multi-page applications, whereas Discourse is an SPA. That's the difference. I recall you and @"Michael" an...
November 28, 2025 at 06:51
Do you have JavaScript turned off? Discourse is basically a JavaScript application. In any case I think you might have more trouble than you think, I'...

I have a feeling that the last time I used Windows it was Windows 7, and that feels like a whole lifetime ago: before I joined PF, before I got marrie...
November 28, 2025 at 06:22
So, your image troubled me, because I do want to be inclusive. But there's a limit: according to StatsCounter, Windows 7 is 2.5% of the worldwide mark...
November 28, 2025 at 05:24
Oh yeah, I forgot.
November 28, 2025 at 05:15
That is an excellent name.
November 28, 2025 at 05:15
I found the relevant passage. It's a good one; I hadn't read it before. I see this as a genealogical critique, an account of how philosophy came to be...
November 28, 2025 at 05:09
But I don't think Nietzsche actually says or implies that the purpose of philosophy is entertainment. From what I have read (three to four of his book...
November 28, 2025 at 04:54
And what do you think of what they said?
November 28, 2025 at 04:39
That seems unfair.
November 27, 2025 at 16:02
Yes.
November 27, 2025 at 15:48
Yeah, just had a look. Works quite nicely on the phone. That timeline thing sticks to the right of the posts on a pc, rather than floating.
November 27, 2025 at 13:54
Ah. Windows 7 is old so you can't run up-to-date browsers. ChatGPT told me "Use Firefox ESR. It’s the last modern browser that still supports Windows ...
November 27, 2025 at 13:49
So I'm responsible for mental illness now? :wink: I think that's right, yes. There's lots of in-discussion navigation conveniences, and you're taken t...
November 27, 2025 at 13:23
I think there's a confusion in many of the criticisms of Discourse. The software itself actually isn't resource-intensive for the client, i.e., in the...
November 27, 2025 at 12:50
So when you went to that link I sent you, it took 20 seconds? I find that hard to believe. If so, I think your experience is unusual. I see. Ok.

Let's hope that the admin at the new site doesn't somehow forget to approve his registration. :wink:
