I started reading in other languages for her. To which I credit a lot of my English skills. I couldn’t wait for fifth one to be translated so just started reading books in English.

My mom got me onto them though.

I’ve used rapeseed oil to oil the handles of my knives and whatnot since I couldn’t be arsed to buy an oil for that purpose.

Seems to work fine since it’s a half-hard oil iirc.

(edit Canola oil for the Americans )

There’s a Doctor Who episode with that as it’s premise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_(Doctor_Who)

The Twelfth Doctor, Bill and an angry Nardole travel in the TARDIS to follow a distress call to a deep-space mining station. When the TARDIS is jettisoned by the station’s computers, the trio are forced to wear “smartsuits”, robotic spacesuits capable of independent operation tied to the station. The suits are also the only source of oxygen, as the mining company does not provide an oxygen atmosphere inside the station, and every activity is measured in breaths

Well at least our Finnish national dish is still traditional. Take cubed beef and pork. Put them in water. Add salt. Put on heat for a sufficient amount of time.

That’s it.

Fancy modern versions have peppers and whatnot but traditionally it’s just salt.

Yeah I’ve had mine for roughly the same time. It’s kinda annyoing being anywhere without smart lighting. You have to shut off lights before going to bed, instead of shutting them off after you’ve climbed under the covers.

And having to put on the lights just to go have a piss in the middle of the night? That would wake me up too much. So I just put on a few red low lights to roughly see where things are without waking myself up.

Then again anyone super into privacy wouldn’t probably love these, as as far as I know, having several WiFi using bulbs on the ceiling also means that anyone with access to the data could actually function as movement sensors. So the metadata Hue has about me (or at least could access if they wanted to) would tell them when I’m in bed or in the kitchen or having guests or whatnot. Apparently it’s based on the attenuation of the signal strength and based on those numbers you can “see” the object moving from the signal strength changes.

Oh apparently to use it myself I’d need a Hue Pro Bridge, but they came up with the system on the old one. Now the pro version has an analyser in it so makes it work better.

I sort of knew some of this, I think, but definitely not all of it, nor as succinctly.

Thanks!

I don’t think having the belief that no-one will love you equals hating women.

That’s like depression vs aggression. Sometimes they can overlap, sure, but they’re different things.

I have absolutely no hate for women, but also a pretty similar level of belief in that I could be actually loved by someone.

I mean yeah they are RGBWW if you put it like that but wouldn’t RGB already include different temps of white? So all of my bulbs are Hue, and yes, they were somewhat of an investment even though my apt is not that huge. Like 300e total years ago though, for uhmm the basic 250e colour set, 5 e36 bulbs hub and remote, and then later I also bought two e14s.

But the LED panel I have is actually a 300w growlight. I couldn’t put it on full I’d burn my eyes. But it serves very well as light therapy on the mildest setting. It’s not got any adjustments except a dimmer though.

Or go full high-tech and install lights with adjustable color temperature.

I may be ahead of the curve a bit. Adjustable colour temp didn’t seem enough. My whole apartment has RGB bulbs since about 5-6 years ago. I just couldn’t go back to on/off one shade lights ugh.

Also I rock a 300w LED panel to get a bit more brightness in my winter days, but that’s not RGB though.

I mean I haven’t eaten kiwis in a long while, and didn’t eat the skin, but if I had to choose, I’d definitely choose kiwi skin over mango skin.

Kiwi skin just seems like a tad chewy perhaps (good fiber), but mango skin seems like it might make me nauseous even if I could get it down.

doesn’t need any particular structure.

Ofc it does. You still haven’t given a single example of these things you pretend can be true. (Which they aren’t.)

Stories do have a beginning middle and end. That’s what a narrative structure means. No matter how much you break fourth walls or film a movie like Memento, it still has a start an end and a beginning, as does 2001. (Which I never said I disliked or liked, just to reiterate as you got me confused with someone else there.)

I read plenty of books and watch films that have no clear linear narrative, a

“no clean linear narrative” doesn’t mean it’s not a narrative with a start and an end

Just like no-one would describe you as (I’m just assuming gender now but whatever doesn’t make the point any different) a handsome and successful man, but I still think you can be described as a man (or a woman).

So your “no clear linear” is just shifting goalposts.

a particular story structure, doesn’t mean that’s the only type of structure that is valid.

And why would it? But see, even you point out the alternative is other story STRUCTURES because stories have structures. Mainly a beginning and an end, when you generalise enough. But narrative stories do have structure.

You’ve still not given a simple example or a narrative story without a beginning a middle and an end, have you?

Oh little babby is trying to be condescending while talking utter shite out of his arse, how adorable.

I point to literally all stories. Just because some narratives are more convoluted than others doesn’t mean they don’t begin and end, dumbo.

Oh you do give an example… of what you point out isn’t a story as such. Because it’s not a narrative. Did I ever say all written art is stories? I don’t think I did. But I get it… You’re not here to argue or with an open mind. You just said something dumb and now refuse to accept you did.

Surely, it’s bots, right?

Can you imagine anyone actually paying to watch the movie? Yeah, I’d say it’s bots or something along those lines. 99% is about as believable as North Korean “election” results

Or more likely, the whole thing is made up.

Yeah uhm from real people.

If you’re still a Christian in your adulthood you’ve either not read the Bible, you’re dumb as shit, or you’re just afraid of your family judging you.
