We are all dying sooner or later, but we can someday a little bit choose how we go.
I’m all for decreasing alcohol consumption, I think last year I was around 1-2 drinks a week, but I also strongly believe you should enjoy life. For me, that mostly means eating more red meat and chocolate than advised. In my 20s, it was less meat and more alcohol. Was it “necessary”? No, but I liked it. I would do it again.
Enjoy life!
I haven’t heard of since there was a clear explanation of how the eye evolved - since that one was a specific example they were referring to
That’s what gets me. “You visit so rarely, let me make it uncomfortable for you!”
I’m so sorry. You said you accept internet hugs, so please accept mine as well 🫂 and remember you can leave early.
Quite reasonable for Amsterdam, Berlin and Munich, that I know of off the top of my head. Probably many other capitals in Europe. I checked Rome, Madrid and Barcelona and they seem to be in line as well.
Love your description! Incredibly fitting! It’s tasteless honey, basically. Very sweet but not much else
Absolutely. And in the less extreme variants, there are cultures for which good food is the base of socialization - you mostly meet up for dinner or similar - and others where good food is the exception, happening for big occasions and parties but not an every day occurrence.
Dutchies eat to survive, no care at all about what it is they are eating…
Nor drowns every flavor in corn syrup!
If I remember correctly, there is a bit of speculation on how that applied to the work schedule in cities, where the population was mostly of artisans that could take full days of rest.
Either that or there are more than two genders… considering the bonkerness of the statement, either follow up would be reasonable at this point
It’s a tricky situation, because reading a book you don’t care about, whose topic triggers no interest in you, most likely will not improve for life at all. On the other, challenging yourself, discover new things, reading some “unpleasant” books (I am thinking along the lines of the Anne Frank’s Diary) does expand your horizons and help you develop. And sometimes I read some books I only understood in hindsight, maybe with some help. Off the top of my head I can think of “the man in the high castle” making way more sense after reading its Wikipedia page, or “de Avonden”/“the evenings” clicking in my brain only after a friend of mine told me “it’s a book about PTSD”. While reading the last one, I thought it was quite dull but stick with it just because. Now I’m glad I did. On the contrary, I also stuck with GRRMartin way too long, and nobody is going to give me back those hours. I still think those books are an exercise of “look how many plot twists I can stack!” and I dislike them all.
Hey, I’m Santa! Other than that, people lie and conceal a lot on the internet. This person was asking stuff you were not comfortable with. Well done trusting your gut! I would have done the same.
These are so festive! Thanks for sharing
Yeah, sometimes you overlook some elements and once pointed out you can’t unsee it. (My opinion of the book the name of the wind honestly dropped after convincing my partner to read it)
The first graph is a ratio, but both the title and the other two graphs are absolute numbers
In the Alps, there are already quite some ghost towns. Small towns either turned into touristic villages or disappeared over the last 50 years. Others were border towns that slowly went out of business. So many are hanging in by a thread, with increasingly old population.
I heard the problem was with yeast interacting poorly with their digestion. Please, power of the internet, tell me if I’m wrong!
I do this sooo often. Often times I just write intro stuff to cool ideas that might or might not be connected to what I should write about. I find honing a page much easier than writing it, so I try to write something and recursively make it into what I need.
I don’t have the power of briefness 🤣
