  • It's when you start a guitar pedal collection (and call it a studio) instead of playing the guitar.

  • People ought to deny ICE service for a start. Anyone in their vicinity can contribute and nothing is too small.

    If they want anything from you, it's your duty to make sure they can't have it.

    If they order a sandwich, they should be told the sandwich maker is broken today. Every day. If they need a car repair, that part will take six months to arrive. When they pay for electricity, their payment was misplaced. Their garages should be blocked by parked cars. The garbage truck should accidentally drive past their property again this week. Etc.

    Don't be an ICE collaborator.

  • Fishermen have this issue.

  • There's a sort of labyrinth called Troy Town labyrinths that supposedly have the effect of solving problems for anyone who walks it. It's obviously pseudo numble jumble, but there might be something to it.

    It's not a labyrinth as such, because there's only one route from the entrance to the center and no choices to be made. It's laid out so that the turns go both left and right and the length varies between turns.

    Walking through it requires very little thinking and is not super exciting, but the changes ln direction at unpredictable times are enough to keep the consciousness occupied so the subconscious mind can get to work.

    Historically they were used for worshipping, which aligns with the idea of getting revelations.

    I'm not sure if it's better or worse than a regular walk in the park, but I think there's a point to it, because it removes all conscious choices and gets you into the zone of just "doing" something, allowing the brain to work without interference.

    Try it, if you can find one.

  • Yes, but Facebook can't just place that script on other people's pages.

    That's the point of the buttons. Website designers place that shit themselves.

  • True

  • I always refuse all helpers in the kitchen.

    Not because of the size, but just fuck no. I don't want to clean up after some "helper" who managed to slice a single cucumber while getting in the way and leaving a chopping board, knife and excess cuttings all over the place because "I don't know where you want the dishes" or whatever. It's no help at all.

    My mother in law is especially bad. She doesn't know where things are, how to cook or how to clean, but always insists on "helping".

    I'm trying to cook here, not babysit a senior who doesn't accept that her role as provider is over. Go play with the grand kids. That's why we invited you as a guest.

  • Let's just look at some facts about beans.

    Soybeans is the largest export from USA to China. USA is China's second largest source of soybean imports. China has officially decided to put fingers in both ears in regards to Trump's flip flopping on tariffs. Trump has no power over China's domestic tariffs

    Well. I don't know what soybean farmers want from Trump, because there's nothing he can do to fix the thing he broke.

  • Everything is a table if you're brave enough.

  • Both.

    Copied from various sources elsewhere:

    Consumer confidence is a catch-all phrase for the opinions and attitudes of consumers about the current and future strength of the economy.

    Consumer confidence index (CCI) is a standardised confidence indicator providing an indication of future developments of households’ consumption and saving.

    The Consumer Confidence Index is based on the Consumer Confidence Survey, which has a responding sample size of 3,000 questionnaires. The survey was initially conducted every two months starting in 1967 but changed to monthly tracking in 1977.

    There are five questions asked in the survey. The first two relate to present economic conditions while the remaining three are related to future expectations.

  • "Kiss me where the wind blows"

  • Eggs would be really handy right there.

  • Concentration and focus, sometimes expression or simply indulgence. It can happen in other situations too. Sports for instance. Music is just one of those abstract things where you need to keep focus for a longer duration.

    Try tapping your finger in a steady rhythm counting 1,2,3,4 repeatedly. After a while you'll want to close your eyes. Eventually you'll make a tap that is ever so slightly early or late and you'll probably start smirking or tighten other facial muscles. If that doesn't happen to you, perhaps try holding a dumbbell in a straight arm for as long as you can. Most people will start doing weird faces before they inevitable have to give up, even if the funny faces does nothing to keep the dumbbell up.

  • Imagine if it's a live stream, changing the plot as you watch dependent on your reaction.

    At first it might be fun to see what happens if Frodo doesn't throw the ring in the lava, but eventually you gotta ask yourself why you're wasting your time in front of a screen watching weird cat videos.

  • The Milky Way is visible. It's estimated that approximately 6 new stars are formed in the Milky every year.

  • Somewhere between 17-19, but only on the Northern hemisphere.

    One thing I've learned is that humans are very much alike everywhere, both good and bad, but mostly in a good way. I will never understand racism or patriotism. Borders are artificial.

  • Because Denmark is a democracy and the people on Greenland has voted towards independence. Denmark is not keeping them from seceding, but their economy has kept them from doing it before.

    An independence referendum has not been done yet, but once they do it, Denmark will most likely accept the outcome without objections. Iceland did the same thing in 1918.

  • It's not shown on the list of NATO members because it's not a separate country. Other islands like Bornholm and Zealand are obviously also not shown, because they are Denmark. So is Greenland. They are not independent, though both Denmark and Greenland has worked towards that in many years.

    Greenland was part of NATO since the beginning, and you could even argue that it was before that, because the collaboration between Denmark and USA on military control of Greenland predates NATO.
