Grandma's 5 Questions for 8/5/20

[pdub]

It didn't say anything in there about not buying meat pre-cut, which you mentioned, just that you, individually can't use those utensils.

I dont use antiperspirant, just deodorant. Antiperspirant is bad for your glands

I live in Maine.
It's cold.
I like wearing sweaters.

And i'm not sweating that much - but just being in layers can cause some dankness without deodorant.

And I can eat a pork chop with my hand. Or a steak. Just grab it and bite it.
I'm eating bacon in a turkey sandwich at this moment with no knife or fork.
Or I can have my blowup doll cut it for me - which she would do happily if she knew my circumstance.

Is it allowed to have someone else cut stuff for you? someone cut that bread with a knife, someone cut that turkey with a knife, that bacon got cut with something.

Gutter didn't say you can't eat with those items, he said you can't USE them. So you couldn't use a measuring spoon, a ladel, you couldn't use a knife to cut a tag off your beloved sweater, you couldn't use a knife to open a box full of sweaters you got delivered. You can't cut a lemon in half, you can't use a spoon to get a dollup of anything.

You'd spend all your day coming up with work arounds...or you don't wear deodorant and apparently sweaters.

I thought you like chili, you can't easily make that without a knife or spoon of some kind. Sweaters are more important to you than stews, or hot chocolate, or any comfort food with a potato in it?

That requires someone to use a Knife on your behalf.

And regardless, it costs you more money to buy EVERYTHING pre-cut.

I figured a guy like you would carry a pocket knife, and maybe even use it once in a while.

Don't you use knives in your daily life?

Is a fingernail clipper considered a type of knife?

Because I'd rather have a slight odor from my armpits than 5 month long fingernails, or having to bite my nails.

1. State Supreme Court. It would be fascinating to be involved in cases that reach that level.
2. Pulled in to a police station after being aggressively followed by a car full of screaming loonies but that's it. Not sure if I have ever talked to a cop other than one giving me a ticket or to get one of those old Chiefs collectible cards that cops used to give out when we were kids.
3A) Unfriendly? Yes. Felt bad about it? No. It's Facebook, why would I feel bad?
3B) Yes. Why feel torn about it? Just mention it to them as an odd thing that happened that concerned you. Nothing weird about that.
4) E, easily. I dont normally listen to music so that would not be hard at all.
5) I answered honestly some questions about who was responsible for a project that went south at work and the person was fired because it was poor work. I dont feel that me providing a name that could have been found if they looked through the documents in the project folder counts as "assisted". And it was 100% right to fire the guy; that project was his third goof up that had negative customer impact. That is unacceptable. He was a bad fit for the role.

Unless he mentioned it, then yes, someone else can cut stuff for me.
He said "You" not anyone around you.
Otherwise everyone around you can't use deodorant.

A fingernail clipper is not a type of a knife.
Someone is really stretching this.
You push this scenario this far then i'd say you can't use soap or shampoo or any product that conceals/removes/cleans an odor.

86 tacos then, pizza it is. I'll fold it like a taco.
Hand torn dough
Hand shredded cheese
Hand crushed tomatoes

Unless he mentioned it, then yes, someone else can cut stuff for me.
He said "You" not anyone around you.
Otherwise everyone around you can't use deodorant.

Then I'd just have someone else put deodorant on me for me.

I mean, in both scenarios, you're "using" the item. If we can just have someone else use it for us, it's still easier to have someone apply deodorant once a day than have them help me everytime I want to use a knife fork or spoon.

[pdub]

Also I can use a meat cleaver.
Or a pizza slicer.

Every day for the rest of the year?

For sure a meat cleaver is a knife.

So silly.
To expand this then, in every and all scenarios in life, you're doing and using all things.

[pdub]

A meat cleaver is more a hatchet than a knife.
Nothing about hachets or axes in there.

[PhDhawk]

"A cleaver is a large knife t..."

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/meat+cleaver

" a butcher's knife having a large square blade"

[TDub]

Do we really need phones and internet though?

Has the word 'hatchet' in the description of the product.

Ok, I'll concede that buying say, a chicken breast from the grocery store probably doesn't violate the rule, even though it was cut with a knife prior.

At the very least having someone cut your steak and feed it to you with a fork is the same as having someone else put deodorant on for you.
