The etymology or aboriginal is basically “comes from away”; kind of Eurocentric. Indigenous means “comes from within a place” etymologically so while it is kind of semantic it’s obvious which one is the better choice. Many indigenous people however prefer ‘Indian’ because it’s how First Nations people are referred to in the Indian Act.

OMG I thought I was alone! Have you tried the “Words for Granted” podcast?

I’m the middle of building that shop. I figure it will be done when I’m dead.

The feeling of 120V is not great, but not terrible. You’ve got to remember that the electric fence is made for pain, though.

Getting shocked.

I used to help my father-in-law on the farm and he had an electric fencer for the barnyard that was way too powerful for the length of fence it was hooked up to. I knew that; what i didn’t know was that it was grounding out on a piece of flashing on the barn. It put me on my ass.

He also has this electric fencing that’s made out of rope with small metal strands woven into it. That shit hurts too but in a different way. Maybe because there are more points of contact.

I got shocked doing some wiring last week and it was nothing compared to the electric fence.

A blind man would be happy to see that. (About a task completed poorly on a jobsite)

Great news as it’s a cancer woth a really low survival rate

It’s kind of stupid to think that one side would use it and the other wouldn’t. Just because they aren’t destroying your privacy for this purpose doesn’t mean left leaning politicians wouldn’t use your data for their own clandestine reasons.
