I should try to buy some edibles, I refuse smoking anything, finding it nasty, but am curious to try cannabis.
A friend gave me a couple of “green” cookies once which I put in a away for the next day but then they were gone. My wife told me my mother in law had eaten them for breakfast not knowing what is was. They seemed to work really well, she almost smiled at me once that day.
Björk have made some that are absolutely spectacular, she has a way of making you feel what she feels with her voice and the visual impressions, she pulls you into her world. She’s one of those artists that are completely unique and deeply talented.
Himmelbjerget (Sky Mountain) in Denmark, it’s an entire 147m
Well, I’ve also climbed some baby mountains in Western Canada, like Grouse Mountain (just a short hiking trail) and the Columbia Ice Field (basically drove up there) but how can the compete to Himmelbjerget ‽
Yes, Bonjour is a magic word. La politesse/etiquette and respect for all people is very important in France. Here in NA when we enter a store the staff greets the customer and bows and scrapes for us, in France when entering a store the customer politely acknowledges and greets the staff with Bonjour - and not just in stores. And then there’s the other small phrases that goes a long way, like merci, pardon, s’il vous plait, au revoir, use monsieur/madame/mademoiselle, as in Excusez-moi, madame, etc.
Dress a little bit nicely when exploring helps, don’t walk while eating, etc.
When foreigners complain that the French are rude or snobbish it is often a misinterpretation; not adhering to simple etiquette, can be offensive or insulting and they will react to that demonstratively or “in kind”, more or less subtly…
I rather like La Politesse and being respectful to everyone.
I have a version of The More Than Complete Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy that’s genuine leather bonded with gold leaf page edges and builtin bookmark. It’s on display on a special shelf. Everyone who visits thinks it’s a bible, and in a way it is as it does have a lot of good advice about life, the universe and everything.
GuildWars 2, small scale stuff on the borderlands with my WvW guild.
Yeah, homemade is best. It takes a bit of practice though because there’s so many things one can use. A good burger doesn’t have too much stuff and not too little and it needs balanced flavours and textures.
and there is a very useful Dyson refurbished factory store on EBay, at least here in Canada. I bought a stick vac there 12 years ago, only had to replace battery and air filter since.
Yeah, I had a friend throwing away his Dyson stick vac because it was “pulsating” on and off, well, a quick look in the manual (there’s also an online troubleshooter) told me that pulsating like that is a signal to the user meaning there is a blockage, it took 30 sec to fix that.

Same, because it’s a good browser and because of their commitment to an open internet.
I keep telemetry enabled (it can be perused openly on telemetry.mozilla.org if interested).
I buy a lottery ticket once a month just for the fun of some cheap fantasies/dreams. A few years ago I won $2000. I wouldn’t mind a repeat.
The unique problems for me with dogs is not just that they’re evolved to interact better with us, it’s that in many places where they eat them it’s believed that it tastes better if it was terrified and in pain when killed. So you can imagine how they’re treated when getting prepared to slaughter. No easy life or death for food dogs.
Then there’s several places in Peru where it’s believed cats taste better if drowned.
Not that we treat our livestock great in the west but some cultures take it to a horrifying level due to tradition.
It’s possible, is there any actual data published on age distribution?
Yeah, I don’t see this at all, maybe I subscribe to very different communities.
I only saw it once a long time ago so I may remember it wrong, but “It’s a Wonderful Life”? I recall being surprised because as a non American I’d heard so much about it as a Christmas movie and expected that genre but when I watched it, it was incredibly depressing and I never watched it again.
Depression can have many reasons, some are biochemical, some are due to external factors (sometimes a mix).
Hmm, on top of my head I find these very very re-watchable, but there are so many more.
Depending on generation the iPod touch sells for $60-300 on EBay. I always check first if I can sell on EBay or Craigslist. I just sold an ancient Toshiba laptop for $100.
Same as my laptop screen/keyboard - I use a dab of Dawn (or whatever brand I currently use) and a moist very soft sponge and dry with an old teatowel.
