For some reason all the soy and oat milks I've tried taste terribly sour and bitter to me. At times I think "am I going crazy", when people around me describe them tasting sweet.
Though also some vegetables, like coriander and parsley taste soapy and bitter to me, so maybe its some quirky genetics thing.
Dont let your friend buy HP, they are filled with cunty bloatware and made of shit parts, especially the screens and their hinges. Only assholes let their friends buy HP.
I'm planning on doing some lidded boxes later on, and I also want to try to make the hinges my self.
I found some time ago a page with good, clear images of different hinge types. Being able to download them for one's personal archive is also a plus.

Wooden hairbrush
A wooden hairbrush for missus. Kinda crappy but now I have an excuse to do a new and better one! Carved with knives and chisels. Stained with dark and light varnish and finished with clear acrylic cover.
Made from wood called 'terijoensalava' (salix euxina ’Bullata’) in Finnish - I dont know if there is an english translation for it. The wood was extremely soft, light and kinda powdery (?) inside - not much real grain on it. I bet you could carve a wooden knife from pine and carve this wood with the wooden knife.
Sounds of Beast In Black, if power metal was mixed with Abba, of course!
And in the present I've fallen back to using flash drives, because every cloud file hosting service is unreliable or a privacy nightmare. History is like a usb stick you keep rotating until it fits.
But do not watch the sequel. It ruins the whole beautiful thing.
Both to them and society.
Huh, this stirs some memories about a cabbage, carrots and potato 'gruel'/stew our mother used to make when I was a kid in the early 90's. Our country was in bad economic depression at the time, and our family was having it hard. I remember hating it as a kid.
I think I'm gonna improvise a pot of something similar in the weekend, maybe I'll appreciate it more nowdays.
Thank you for sharing.
I'm just embracing my inner peasant in this ever increasing modern techno-feudalistic worldscape.
Yep, nostalgia is a powerful thing. We used to eat it with vanilla sugar as kids, that works wonderfully well too imho.
Fancy peasant's gruel
My fancy peasant's gruel. Semolina gruel that turned into porridge like consistency (see I can afford the wheat, no need to water it down) with cut up wiener pieces in it. I'm sometimes fancy like this.
Its working for me now, I tested it this morning. Even tried swithching the user agent back to Firefox and yep - Youtube gets magically some buffering problems with it.
Close youtube tab, switch user agent back to chrome, clear cache and restart the browser: no buffering problems. What a bunch of assholes.
I've reported this earlier to EU competition ombudsman, like a about a year ago, and they confirmed then that they were getting reports about the issue, Google of course denying the practice. Hopefully they are working on some punishment for Google in the background.
What was the so called spiritual part of abstaining from these, or in in general, on this whole thing? No need to answer if you dont feel like it or whatever, just thank you for your insights.
How many security guards can one of these assholes have on duty at any one time?
Dont y'all have assault rifles and semiautomatics on you at all times and you are all about being against tyranny? WHAT GIVES?
I have never encounteted a PWA that works better than a website OR an app - this from users actual usability viewpoint. They are a cancer, that sits right in between the worst of both worlds.
Actually, does anyone with the knowhow know if the rules and filters made for uBlock work any differently in Chrome, Firefox or Safari? Arent they just html and javascript?
I'm a humanist, and the last time I played with html was in the 90's, so fuck if I know about anything thats happening beyond the ui.
There are also uBlock Origin custom filters/rules that block all shorts, at least for Firefox/Firefox mobile and its forks AFAIK.
Little over four years smokeless for me too, after 20 years of smoking. High five for the quitter crew!
Sadly I still get cravings almost weekly.
And people like you are the reason I'm suspicious of all Canadians here. Actually met a yank who first identified himself as a Canadian. Wasnt too happy when he got told on his assholeness.
Dont be an asshole, dont be a fake Canadian. Sorry for my suspicion to any actual Canadians.
"Pain dog" pain hook
A pain hook (self-use massage device for the neck and back) made from a pine branch. Snoopy-like dog appeared from the branch while whittling, hence the name.
Lightly stained with walnut colour stain and a light beeswax layer on top of that so it feels smooth on the skin. Handle made from old repurposed leather belt strips.
These pain hooks are an old Finnish and Karelian thing for massaging one's neck and back, and I was wondering if these sort of self-care "devices" are known and in use in other cultures?
