You get a text out of the blue that reads “Hi, this is Bob from Acme Roofing. We’ve been doing free roof inspections in your area. When was the last time you had your roof checked?”

How do you respond?

  • I ignore the text and / or delete it without responding.
  • I report the text as spam.
  • I block the number it came from.
  • I respond with joke / fake information to mess with them.
  • I respond with an honest answer about when I last had my roof inspected. It would be rude to not answer their question.
  • I take them up on their offer of a free roof inspection. That sounds like a great deal!
  • I would be very confused, because I live in an apartment, condo, rent my home, or am otherwise not the person responsible for maintaining the roof.
  • I would do something else not listed here

I am reading Mark Lewisohn’s Tune In, an exhaustively researched book on The Beatles, covering the period from around 1820-1962, with the release of Love Me Do. (1820 is not a typo.)

Released in 2013, the original plan was to release vol 2 around 2018-2020 (accounts vary) and the final volume in 2028, when the author turns 70.

However…

He hasn’t released vol 2 yet. He may never release it. And I’m 200 pages in on an 800 page book (which may be 2,400 pages, when all is said and done).

Should I bother to finish it? (Public poll)

  • Yes
  • No

For reasons kid-related, I had to call my ex-wife on Monday. Last night, Inna asked me “If we hadn’t met, would you have gone back to your ex-wife.”

  • An innocent question
  • It’s a trap!
0 voters

I answered “No way in freakin’ hell. While I can’t remember all the things which irritated me about her, they would come back in a flash if we ever got back together.”

  • Good, quick thinking!
  • You could have been more detailed.
0 voters

Inna accepted the answer with no more issue…

  • Whew!
  • Thank God!
  • Good job!

You meet someone new whom you like and generally vibe well with. After getting to know them, they confess that they used to be regressively prejudiced against a particular demographic (e.g. racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc) you are not a part of. They admit hurting others in that demographic, though never physically. This person is deeply remorseful and is genuinely trying to acknowledge their own guilt, change, and make amends—let’s say you know for a fact that this is true and sincere.

Do you believe it (should) reflect poorly on you and your own views on the demographic in question if you continue to like and associate with this person?

  • Yes
  • Yes, but only to the person’s direct victims or their loved ones
  • Yes, but only to those also of the same demographic and their loved ones
  • No
  • Depends entirely on what the prejudice was
  • Depends entirely on some different factor

The instructions on a microwave meal gives you a range rather than an exact time, like microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes. Assume you’ve never made this thing before.

Do you…

  • Microwave for 3 minutes, then check to see if it needs more time
  • Microwave for some time between 3 and 4 minutes, like 3 minutes and 30 seconds
  • Microwave for 4 minutes
  • It depends
  • Do something else
  • I still don’t make microwave meals
