  • in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention

    Jump

  • I can! I come from that area and it's a real dish that is eaten commonly and served in pubs and restaurants. If you go to a local market, you can get then to take away with scoops of mushy peas in the container too.

    I don't eat meat, so I can't speak to the taste, but mushy peas themselves are delicious and shouldn't taste anything like garden peas. They are more like a dal.

  • Who are some widely loved fictional characters that would be hated if they were real?

    Jump

  • Definitely not the main characters, but I'd love to hang out with Artemis.

  • Has Trick-or-Treating died in your area, and what is to blame?

    Jump

  • UK - Only had one kid come and had lots of treats. My own kids went out and got quite a haul, but most people had left bowls out so they didn't knock on many doors (they know only to go to decorated houses).

    For the last few years, there seem to be more people decorating and putting treats out than there are kids going out. Plus our weather has been shit.

  • Candles are the perfect gift. If the receiver doesn't like them they can set them on fire and remove the problem.

    Jump

  • They are consumables so you can just say you used the up if anyone asks.

    As a person who is difficult to buy for (not because I want special things but because I don't really want anything), candles are ideal as I either like them and use them, or can say I did. Much better that something I am expected to wear or constantly display in my home.

  • That doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about stars to dispute it.

  • Who the fuck needs an x axis anyway

  • I'm a woman in my 40s who is probably autistic, but back then I was the wrong demographic and "too well behaved" to even consider diagnosis. I'm a typical example people think of when thinking about under diagnosis.

    On the other hand, I work with people who have severe learning disabilities who also evaded diagnosis, or were diagnosed well into adulthood as diagnosis is difficult in someone so impaired. In another time, they would have been labelled with a grossly offensive term and just left. Better treatment of disabled people is probably another reason we see rising rates of diagnosis.

  • Dino took a dad selfie

    Jump

  • Your Dino looks like my Lionel! Such handsome fellas.

  • Goodnight sweet prince

    Jump

  • Me too. Thought he'd make at least 102. Weirdly shocked that a 76 year old died.

  • Anyone else do this?

    Jump

  • This is me. I could have written every word of this (if not so succinctly). I often wonder how much of my fatigue is due to wearing the mask all the time.

  • It is hard

    Jump

  • Me heading to the plans I made when I was slightly less fatigued.

  • Ah, only seem it once.

  • Well this took a turn.

  • What book(s) are you reading right now and recommend for others?

    Jump

  • I haven't finished this one yet, do we'll see.

    I'm guessing you mean the first trilogy (apologies if I'm mistaken), as the First Law universe continues for 6 more books after that (plus a collection of short stories). After the Last Argument of Kings, there are 3 "stand alone" novels, which are the strongest, in my opinion, and then a second trilogy, which is excellent.

    I believe there are more books planned for that universe, but The Devils is separate. The others I haven't read as they're Young Adult, so they probably have cheerier endings.

    Were you to read on, you'd probably find some joy for characters you like, but I think unhappy endings outweigh the happy ones. Of course, I could be mistaken and you've read all 9, because the ending of the last can definitely be described as devastating too!

  • What book(s) are you reading right now and recommend for others?

    Jump

  • The Devils by Joe Abercrombie. It's set in a fantasy medieval Europe. Unfortunately, its not long out and is the first of a series, so I'll have to wait for the rest.

    Jump

  • I have this on audiobook and it's brilliant.

  • What computer life hacks are your most used?

    Jump

  • Not sure if this has been said already, but win + m collapses all open windows.

  • I'm chaotic good

    Jump

  • All these are good (although I never saw the end of The Office), but I'm chaotic evil. IASIP is my all time favourite US sitcom (Peep Show being my favourite UK sitcom).

  • Disrespected

    Jump

  • My orange cat had curled up next to my four year old kid this morning. The kid rolled over in his sleep, snuggled into the cat like a teddy, and he just accepted it.

    My other cat is the cat in the meme though, even though she is the one who chooses to sleep on top of me.

  • What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?

    Jump

  • Raises hand tentatively...

    Although I do feel I'm learning stuff from being on here.
