This is what I tell people: it is not that salty and I taste a bit of sweetness with it (that sort of mild sweetness, hope you know what I mean).

If I travel to Germany in the future, I would love to try Mett. That’s one dish people here sometimes turn their heads at, however it sounds very nice from the descriptions.

I think more people should consider the whole “when in Rome, live as the Romans do” idea when traveling, food is a great way to appreciate a country or area.

I love Dutch herring!

Most times of year it’s referred to as Matjes Herring, which is the usual catch and tastes as nice as herring does.
At the right time of year, from around some time in June/July, you get Hollandse Nieuwe herring, where it has at least 6% fat. Has a melt in the mouth effect and even nicer.

I’m going to NL within a few weeks and cannot wait! It’s the first thing I get, even before going to a coffeeshop.

It’s also very good for settling my stomach and gut, as I get a lot of inflammation there. Sorts it out, can’t explain the science behind that though.

I’ve started using Dutch in 3 Months, by Hugo. Ignoring the timeframe the title gives, it seems decent because it has an app alongside it for hearing the pronunciations of each word, so you learn to speak and read essentially at the same time.

I got my book online.

Seems to me that these days, with a lot of issues fragmented in our society, different bands tend to focus on certain issues - although there are some exceptions, yet this is also just based off what I’ve noticed.

Bob Vylan has been making the rounds, Kendrick Lamar has also been outspoken on some injustices over the years. Lambrini Girls focus on sexism in a rather angry manner. IDLES have some songs regarding frustration with aspects of society, however they’re not as detailed in their messages yet they still provide the energy for them.
Kneecap have been speaking about the situation in Palestine in a rather political manner, and have great pride for Ireland - they sing mainly in an Irish language, however great energy for the message.

If you go a bit further you have Bloodywood, an Indian metal/hard rock band focusing on various issues (I think one of their songs talks about punching rapists in the face).

Just some off the top of my head. They’re out there for sure.

I’ve had this, when I was silly enough to not wear protective eyewear when growing.

I know it may sound silly to many people, though grow lights are bright as fuck these days. The ones I started with were fine, but my current ones on maximum power are so bright they affect my vision when I look into my tent for longer than a few minutes.
Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone getting into or considering growing plants indoors, as this isn’t something I’ve even seen mentioned much: if you have sensitive eyes, definitely grab some lenses for grow lights they make an incredible difference. They’re much stronger than they used to be, and the linings in tents help spread and reflect this too.

Without the lenses my vision is like this picture, for a good half hour or so before it goes back to normal, in one eye. Genuinely worried me! Be safe!

It’s the initials of me and my ex wife, with a small design around it. We got matching ones.

Never get a spouses name tattooed. I was told not to, and I should have listened. This was 13 years ago and I will be finally getting around to it this year.

a tattoo, and I didn’t even pay for it.

The reason it’s a waste is because it’ll cost £5-600 for a decent cover up. Essentially I got this to cover up… Terrible decision.

I have a variety of tattoos, and I only regret one of them. Still proud of the others decades later.

Go to www.massgrave.dev and check the tutorial for upgrading your existing Windows 10 install to Windows 10 IoT LTSC 2019. You’ll have security updates until 2032 I think.

I’d go as far as to say the thps soundtracks are my most favourite compilations, to this day.

Yeah pretty much. It’s not a big issue though one which could become compounded into one if there is any slack with the cleaning times.

I’ve resorted, about a year or so ago, to using large bottles of natural spring water for the kettle (when making tea/coffee).
It’s an extra expense, however the lack of scaling has been lovely. Not had to clean my kettle once.

My sink is another story though.

To be fair I do have to wipe my sinks more often, only because we have rather hard water in this area. The scale builds up quickly.

It makes washing dishes incredibly efficient, with less water wastage. I could wash the dishes for a family of four in absolutely no time at all, but without a double sink that takes much longer with more water used.

It’s the double sink that gets me. I’ve lived in places with a double sink. I do not have a double sink right now.
I need double sink in my life.

I save up for the Netherlands. There are enough places to just get a peace of mind, away from people, with a nice spliff and no one to bother me about it.

I’ve been three times within the span of a year, and will be going back in a few months.

You can never be too serious about skincare.

I have a small hammer I use, to lightly chip away at the wall tiles to provide both exfoliation, a back scratcher, and acupuncture all in one.

Could be a bit of both, with examples of intersectionality provided by folks with those mindsets occasionally.

Pardon my language, though I heard this in an interview with Jimmy Carr, and it rather highlights this for me quite well:
I’m paraphrasing, though it was something like “if you’ve seen five cunts before noon, you’re the cunt”.

No matter what it says about my game time on Steam, XBox, etc. I still think Space Cadet has given me the most hours on record (albeit unrecorded).
