On Wife and Marriage - Fallacies and Analogies


  • A Marriage is NOT two people becoming one entity - in a single entity, the left hand does not need to coerce the right hand
  • A Marriage is NOT a Team - a team has a captain or a coach
  • A Marriage is NOT about equality - men and women are different. Husbands and wives are different
  • Wives are NOT logical when interacting with husbands - they may be capable of being logical in other things, but the rules change when dealing with husbands
  • Friends, Girlfriends and Wives are all DIFFERENT and cannot be treated the same. However, they all share the same basic "Woman" needs

  • WHAT ARE WOMEN LIKE?
    • Women think like flowers
      • Their highest priority is to think they look good
      • Happiest when they think they are attracting as many visitors as possible
      • Happiest when they think they outshine all other flowers
  • WHAT ARE WIVES LIKE?
    • Wives are like parasites
      • They live off your resources for as long as they can, then produce children, leaving behind your dead husk.
  • WHAT ARE MOTHERS LIKE?
    • Mothers only think about their children
    • Nothing else.
  • WHAT IS MARRIAGE LIKE?
    • Marriage is like catching a fish (The fish is your wife)
      • You can eat the fish and stop fishing (What most men want, and do)
      • Or you can put the fish back and keep catching it over and over again (What women want you to do)

How to remove the inner lining from plastic bottle caps - Coke caps specifically

Some HDPE plastic bottle caps have a plastic inner lining that is not HDPE and causes problems when attempting to melt the caps.

The inner lining is kept in place by an inner lip in the cap.
To remove the lining, you have to open the lip by bending the edges back
To remove the inner lining, use a pair of gardening shears and make multiple cuts along the edge of the cap from the edge of the cap to the lip where the lining is held.
Do this all the way around, then flatten out the entire cap. It should look like a flower.
You should be able to bend back the "petals" and grab the inner lining with a pliers and pull it out slowly without tearing it.

Plastic Recycling - Simple Methods for recycling plastic at home

  • Melt Plastic into sheets or blocks
    • Create an aluminium mold in a block formation with a screw on top to press the plastic into the mold firmly
    • Put all plastic of the same type and color into the mold
    • Put the entire mold filled with plastic into an oven, toaster oven, or other heat source at 425 degrees celcius for 30 mins
    • Take out and press down the plastic using chopsticks, clothespins, or any piece of wood
    • Repeat this process as many times as necessary to fill the mold, and allow the surface to be smooth
    • The resultant blocks can be sculpted or cut using any regular woodworking tools
    • Heat guns can be used to weld multiple blocks together
    • Any excess can be re-melted in other blocks

Plastic Recycling - What plastics are things made of? What are the different types of plastic? What can they be turned into?


This is a list of the most common plastic items, the type of plastic they fall under, and what they can be recycled into
  • PET (1)(Generally Transparent, Stiff but flexible, Solvent Resistant, Gas and Liquid Barrier, Sinks, Inert, Does not degrade, no BPA)
    • Malleable at 75 Degrees Celcius

    • Most Food & Beverage Bottles
    • Plastic Carpets
    • Clothing (Called Polyester, but same material as PET)
    • Generally absorbs some of whatever was stored in it previously, making it unsuitable for recycling into food grade material without additional effort. Best suited for simple recycling into any non-food related applications.
      • Best Recycled Uses - Rope, Fabric, Construction
  • HDPE (2)(Very Hard, Opaque (Milky white), Chemical Resistant, Gas Permeable, matt surface)
