Church concert. Family Christmas and then travel to the extended family Christmases.

Good Talk - It's Canadian politics but they can make Canadian politics seem interesting which is a huge accomplishment in itself.

"Never reveal the plan" and then they livestream it. lol

Profanity. I was brought up in a household where discussion was encouraged. Profanity was seen as the inability to form good arguments. I guess it was ingrained in me.

Not a single debate, but I like the Monk Debates. Calm, reasoned approaches with a great format.

I probably use my driver and table saw most, but my cordless multitool is climbing up there.

Someone once told me that memos are not to inform the reader, but to protect the writer.

I don't know of any.

It would be nice to know what country this is.

I left Haiti with no solutions. Many Haitians looked at us (middle class of the developed world) as the cause of their problems - that the stuff we consume and the stuff we waste and the energy we consume results in shortages there. They have no social safety net, bad health care, little food, rampant disease. I don't know what the answers are, but often when I go to bed without hunger pangs, or enter my huge house (in some places, they took turns sleeping because there wasn't enough room on the floor for the whole family to lie down), or walk into a doctor's office, I think of them.

I worked in a hospital in Central Haiti for three years. Children died regularly because they didn't have enough to eat. A visit to the hospital (which included seeing a doctor, any lab tests, medicine, or x-rays) was $10, a price that many people couldn't afford. They looked on us middle class like we look at billionaires.
