I've tried watching it about 5 times and get to different points before I burn out.

It has sparked an interest in the works of R.D. Laing for who Lain is named in reference to.

A Psychologist who was active in the 60's and is famous for their work with schizophrenics; I've been curious if their work may give a bit more context to understand Serial Experiments Lain

You uh... you doing ok, OP?

Doesn't it provide a safe way of preserving food that housing built before personal refrigeration became common won't have (a larder, basement, or even shaded garden)?

Methods of refrigeration become especially important if you do not have a regular way of retrieving food.

Not to mention, even cooked vegan food can and will spoil quicker without refrigeration.

My mum's a child psychotherapist, from her perspective medication aught not to be the first thing people jump at, but it very much has it's place; an example being children with ADHD who literally cannot sit down to the point of them getting distressed, actually being able to sit down and engage with therapy after starting medication. Similar things with anxiety and depression, if anxiety holds you back from opening up and personal thoughts and feelings then medication can enable that for therapeutic work to begin.

The bigger issue she has is when people (often parents) only want the medication but don't want to try and engage with the therapy.

Just something to think about

Communism is from each according to their ability, to each according to their want.

I thought it was "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need"?

Wants and needs are often conflated but the outcomes of each phase would likely look incredibly different.

Yeah, you say twot to an English person and they'll look at you like you've sprouted a third head.

The correct way to pronounce it is twat:

The twat in a hat came at me with a bat.

As opposed to:

The THOT whose a bot sent me her twot.

Huh, same here, that's odd

What type of tub is it? Free standing or one with a panel on the side?

If one with a panel on the side you can remove them by cutting the silicone, which will enable you to see the drain pipe and the trap, and you can then inspect it for leaks (use a dry piece of paper towel to test if a leak continues after drying it initially)

If it's due to a leak from the water supply pipes you could try turning off your water at the source/stop tap, open up your all the taps in the house and drain your system (I wouldn't suggest doing this if you have a water storage tank). If the dripping stops after doing this, it's likely to be your water supply pipes, as opposed to the drain.

I'm honestly surprised no-one has built an extension to automatically opt out of them, or at least the major cookie providers interfaces.

I realise there are many extensions which outright block cookies, etc; I'm meaning specifically the annoying dialogues you describe

Wow, 3DS as well...

Wait, PSP‽

The ginger bug is probably what affected it here, my wonderful neighbour has given me a few homemade bottles of ginger beer before, and one's exploded in the fridge, the other had enough pressure build to blow the lid off when opening from a remaining 2 inches of dregs.

Apparently, there's just something about ginger fermentation that really builds pressure

My brother in Christ, how much do you know about housing? Renovations? Insulation? Mycology?

The standard that likely had not been followed was ensuring that the property was watertight to begin with.

The dry rot that is spreading through their house is effectively going to condemn it.

Your take of "hurdur, how hard could it be to do some insulation? you glue on the boards, mesh and render" is asinine at best.

Lots of these companies didn't do their due diligence to ensure the suitability of the properties before installing.

Which then disproportionately effects people who are less likely to be able to afford repairs due to them already being on very limited lower incomes, the exact reason why they are getting this work done via these schemes.

I took wouldn't want to trust the same company that put me into that position to be the one to rectify it.

Last November, the allotments at the bottom of my hill flooded for the first time since I arrived 4 years ago, this year it's arrived in October.

Last year it wasn't until March until they were walkable. I wonder how long it will be this year.

It got to about 4ft last time and seemingly poisoned the land as no-ones crops grew this year. Interestingly plums and pears did pretty well.

If you really want that passive poison effect, you need to get fiestaware: bright orange/yellow ceramics where the concentration of uranium is way higher and it's used as the glaze!

It's known to leech into acidic foods, such as tomato sauces with pasta.

I also feel like we can also add antique top hats to this; I recently found out that my grandfather's childhood top hat, which I used to play with all the time growing up, contains mercury nitrate

Out of curiosity, have you come up with a reason why it tasted so tree like?

What colour did the mead end up being?

Wow, thank you for the very thorough write-up!

I was wondering how you'd get it past the point where it's just equal pressure to the other cannister; I assume that's the reason for freezing the one being refilled, and I'm guessing the cannister that's being refilled needs to be a smaller than the one that it's refilling from?

How do you refill the screw mount canisters from the other sort?

Are you meaning because people are excited about "fusion" being a possible future energy source, whereas when they here "nuclear" their minds immediately go to weapons and fission accidents and pollution?

My friend has so far fried 4 or 5 steamdecks, ROG Ally and two power banks before he took my advice to buy a type c cable tester and to stop using any charger that didn't come with the device until he could test them.

Turned out it was a damaged cable, I think it was a CC line was no longer working.

I've had a couple of cheaper Chinese type c and usb A multi port chargers fail; I manage to fry like 3 sex toys before I realised the type A ports were outputting 12v, and at some point something went wrong and the type c fried my phone (which I guess is on me for continuing to use the charger after the issue with the type A ports)
