In a good old fashioned Russian meatwave attack, you can skip the first two.

It was on TV month ago and that screencap is how it read. I remembered because I commented my son about it.

Regional differences?

Fun fact.

In Finnish "kamala" means "awful".

We are gonna have endless dad jokes with this one.

Made some changes, because I have shitload of small twigs I need to get rid of. Now i can use them and not charcoal. New setup can also be used with a wok pan. Picture is from a testrun.

We should definitely start with this.

If it's biblical sky daddy that influences our everyday lives, pretty much everything.

If it's just more or less self-conscious entity behind the curtain of reality that sparked the universe, it's pretty much unprovable and so undisprovable.

 

Lets say you get abducted by aliens.

They inform you that they want to make contact with human individuals, not the entire humanity. They have a limited telepathy and can "scan" for human mental traits like spiritualistic / non-spiritualistic, artistic / non-artistic, introverted / extroverted, anxious / chill, low / med / high IQ, technology oriented, business savvy, mathematically gifted, socially gifted, scientific, etc.

They want you to define traits that would make encounters go smoothly and be representative of humans.

Without knowing anything about those aliens or their interests. What is your answer?

Movies based on Stieg Larssons books.

Human memory is bias towards most recent things in a group set. If your set is a "workout" or a "workday", doing the fun stuff last will affect positively all the memory items in the same group set. This works even if you know that your memory is doing this.

We don't live in a "present now". We live in a mental image constructed from memory of recent past.

Trick is not to do unpleasant stuff first, but to do pleasant stuff last.

Summer for the exact opposite reason. In winter it's -10 to -30ºC and the sun doesn't come up for two months. Absolute bullshit. I don't even do winter sports.

If US finally gets its second civil war, its really easy to pick who goes in to the mass graves. You can just use an algorithm.

Same goes for the rest of the world. If ever occupied by Russia, you can be sure you'll be "calling Zelenskyi" on a daily basis for every anti-Russian post you ever made.
