Thanks. That’s some tasty info, gonna need this when forging my own forks in the post-apocalyptic nightmare hellscape we’re going to enter in the next few decades.
Decades obviously I won’t have even gave a downloaded Wikipedia, I’ll just go by drunk memories. And thus this will be there somewhere.
I get the vague impression that this is meant to subtly influence western society into believing that the masses aren’t truly people,
Well, people can think two things at once. And whilst people may think that non-fleshed out nameless movie henchmen “aren’t truly people”, I don’t think they apply the same standard to random people irl.
If you missed 69420, don’t worry about it, because 69422 is 69420, too.
Almost as pointless as being a soldier in early 1940’s France.
A game is forcing me to cross-dress to gain access to an all-female area, inhabited by tall beautiful mommies? "Ohnooo"
It was the Gerudo icehouse quest! It’s amazing to me how close to history I am sort of. When my grandma was little, they didn’t have fridges, and they used to pile snow and ice and compact it and then cover it with sawdust, behind the sauna where the sun wouldn’t be shining. She said it usually lasted till around June. Perhaps even later can’t remember and can’t ask anymore. RIP.
Actually when irl blood feeders (such as vampire bats) feed, they need to constantly keep pissing while sucking blood, so as not to burst from the volume of liquid they’re feeding off of.
Because blood is relatively nutrition poor. Just mostly water with an irony taste. (Uh… I wouldn’t know personally ofc. Uhm, a friend told me. A human friend, as all we humans have.)
My family members would literally all answer the first one.
Or perhaps “I’m aware of the notion, but don’t believe in it”
I live in SW Finland on the coast of the Baltic Sea. It’s wet and cold 90% of the year.
We still have this sort of book exchange in the entrance way to my local shop. A tiny bookshelf/night desk. Not too common though, I can’t think of any others right now.
But like the weather shouldn’t be the issue, that’s just an engineering problem at that point. I imagine like a glass doored fridge with some dehumidifiers placed inside should probably work in most places to protect books.
I mean I was really concerned about that as well, having been on the ferries which go from Turku to Stockholm. As I said though, they’re kinda tiny in comparison. They’re not like ferries between France and the UK or Ireland and the UK, but like more cruise ships.
Icon of the Seas is like double the length of the cruise ships I’ve been on (Vikin Line Isabella ~160m, Viking Line Grace ~218, Icon of the Seas 360m) but the point I made once was that just a medium storm in the archipelago of Baltic Sea, that boat was going kinda hard side to side. As in the water in the pool splashed out like a third or something and you could not walk straight in the hallways. It was bloody fun though, one of my first proper times of getting drunk.
We didn’t really realise it at the time with my buddy, but the ~50 year old guy buying us 14-15y olds drinks in a sauna was probably a bit of a nonce.
Anyway, my point was that if those ships go that bendy in the Baltic Sea, wtf would this do in the Atlantic? However, some engineer pointed out that 1) it’s gonna be cruising in the Caribbean and 2) the stabilisation tech that’s built in a ship so much larger per tonnage is gonna make it way more stable. Plus it’s way newer so the tech is better as well.
Because if the pool splashed around as much as the medium size jacuzzi we were in with the nonce, then I’d be scared to go to some of those top pools.
I don’t remember the specifics, but I do remember that the guy convinced me.
I’m from the city which builds these.
We built the previous largest record ships as well. I drove people to an event when Oasis of the Seas launched, iirc.
This somehow seems much taller from this perspective. Bet it’s the lense a bit, but also, it’s the fact that the ships are so big that driving next to them gives you no sense of their scale. Or height, at least.
Although I know that in comparison to the ferries we actually use, these are humongous.
And even the ferries feel absolutely huge when you’re standing on the top deck and looking down at the sea.
I don’t have like much thalassophobia or the fear of heights, but leaning over a railing on a cruise ship in the middle of the night to gaze at the abyss really does chill a person a little. I just wonder how that would feel at the top of one of those highers decks. Especially in a storm.
Addicted to money in all forms
They should get that into the DSM
Uuuh I have to remember that one
Honestly the sea salt I have I have to basically dry out in a cup.
I’m pretty sure they add like 1-2% moisture by weight. I’ve literally weighed it during the last few days and it’s lost >5g from my measured 460g. That’s around 1%. I’ll see if it loses more.
That’s why EU or at least Finland at least used to have separate labels; “best before” and “use by”.
One was like “this might lose some quality after the date” and one is “please don’t eat it, it might be dangerous”.
Although the latter was still always erred on the sage side. Whereas grandma dismissed the bunch and just sliced the mold off the cheese and ate what was underneath. And it wasn’t blue cheese — originally.
And rue the day if I threw out old milk instead of letting her make some home made cheese or smth.
You really want to do the whole American vs European chocolate thing?
Because Euroean doesn’t taste like vomit, unlike all US chocolates.
The food act the ban is based on is from 1938, whereas this import ban is from like the 90’s, so I’m more leaning to some capitalist shenanigans to block a competitor from a market idk. Although they were illegal even before that based on the law from 38, someone had imported some and were selling them and then they did the recall and import ban
And theyre serious about enforcing that
