Busy, long-term goals in sight and improving my cooking skills. A good risotto is worth all the preparation. Tomorrow ratatouille. Mar 26, 2024 at 5:53 PM

      In NL religious people are finally noticing how it doesn't make sense to keep churches open. Large groups are large groups. Idiots...

        @Merrick I was able to influence only a few amongst those Orthodox sects in America and in Israel, who would otherwise have joined in their communities' desecration of God's name.

        The unfortunate reality of things is that many use religion and God as a means to affirm their own ideals and invigorate their biases. "Pastors" that demand tithes while claiming COVID was punishment for humanity's gross excess are at the front of my mind and frankly, it's disgusting.

        Impulse control is a huge part in puppy training, and I find myself learning a lot from it as well. You can't teach what you don't already have learnt, and dog logic is not so different from human logic.

        The last 12 months. I am done with too many things that annoy me. Even if the world burns you can only put out your own fire first. Society can plunge itself into stupidity and consumerism. I am going to focus on what I really value. Music is one of the few things that keeps me sane...

        Yes man! That was me coming out of election/pandemic-induced blackpilling.

        I dunno... I am a pretty worldly person.I always want for things to be better than they are, for everyone. If everyone is happier, I am happier, because my world is actually happier.

        It's hard to watch. I can't not see them as victims on some level.

        But as they say, charity starts at home.

        Dude, in my daily experience most iPhone users do not bring their own cable and or charger. They ask me or someone else. The Android users, well it hardly happens. What is it with the consumer cult of Apple worshippers? Do their phones work on magic?

        3 years ago I got hooked up with a good pulmonologist. He helped me identify an allergen I could eliminate (cats, no offense); and put me on several medications that significantly help with the pollen.

        Drink both. Or even better, find a coffee and tea that mix well together - various black and red teas are usually a good place to start for this.

      When learning Mandarin (yes, not joking) at one point you have to ditch the "pinyin", it does not help. Learn the pronunciations by heart...

        Tricky thing about pinyin is that the actual pronunciation can change with context, e.g., two "second tones" in a row.

        The thing about tones is you need to get to a flow. If a mandarin learner is slowly pronouncing every word with its standalone tone it is harder to be understood IME. Another thing that those who grew up only speaking non-tonal languages can have a hard time understanding is that tone is just as important for meaning as pronunciation. Sometimes moreso.
