I'd be interested to know why they thought the "door" wall gap (in the right external wall) had a lintel, that seems like work and cost for no reward.

I can't go to sleep if I don't set an alarm, due to worrying about oversleeping lol

I got an oral b toothbrush (primary selling point for me, was the pressure sensor that alerts you if you're pressing too hard against your teeth, I think I paid around €150 for it back then), well over 8 years ago, and it's still going strong. The battery still easily holds a week's charge too, which is great for holidays

But the idea of an indicator is to indicate that you will soon turn the steering wheel, not that you've already started to turn it.

Yeah, after being cramped up it's nice to stretch out a bit and SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE phrases this nicely.

It's hilarious to me, that "safety first" is written second

I mean, he looks strong, but look how hard he's having to work to hold up his phone... I can do that with one hand while on the loo and barely even have to flex!

I've found that some games can still play after you've cut them off from the internet (in app settings from the phones general settings) but will no longer be able to display ads (and I assume microtransactions also won't work then). Which might make some of the options you've currently ruled out work for you?

Aaah thank you, I reread the original post trying to find a point related to a ladder and eventually decided I just didn't understand what the "ladder point" was referring to, but now I understand them!
Languages are fun :)

I noticed how many of the verbs in English can mean different things depending on what word comes next, e.g.
- Put
- Put down
- Put up
- Put upon
- Put on (wear)
English has so many words that mean the same thing, it's amazing, astonishing, bewildering and flabbergasting, there was a thief, mugger, robber, bandit... Who stole, robbed, nicked, thieved from me... I don't know how anyone ever learns all the English words for stuff, I honestly don't know how I have.
It also made me reflect on how languages are just noises we've all agreed to make at each other. The rules try to match the language and fail, not the other way around.
Recently I was also thinking about how interesting it is that some words we use are SO OLD, and we just... use them like it's no big deal, but if we we're transported back thousands of years, people were still calling vanilla something very similar to vanilla and arteries something very similar to arteries, and that is super cool to me.

I was essentially certain that this meant: "their face when"

I'm almost certain this is pine, the grain lines are very spaced apart, suggesting it was grown very rapidly too, so probably not a very old table.
Hello dads, I'll be a dad myself shortly, and it's entirely planned, we discussed the idea and then worked towards making it happen. My wife is over the moon and loving the whole process and I'm struggling to see it as a positive change. All I'm seeing is more bills and tasks. I want to be excited and enthusiastic during the pregnancy (and of course afterwards) but I'm struggling to see this as a positive change for our next - at least - 5 years. It's causing some stress between my wife and I, when really I'd much prefer we were bonding now in preparation for the stress our relationship is going to need to endure after the baby arrives. I guess this is partly just venting, I feel like anyone I know that I might say this to, would think I'm a bad person considering it was entirely planned and now I'm not feeling it after its too late to undo, but if anyone has some ideas on how I can focus more on the positives (I do see them... watching their personality growing, seeing the world from their fresh perspective, a sense of investment in the future, etc. I just struggle to focus on them) of this and less on the incoming bills and sleepless night and relationship stress, so my wife and I can bond, it'd mean a lot to me. I'm also concerned that I'm seeing the baby as a problem instead of a... Source of joy? and that this might mean I don't really have a natural parental instinct, so I won't love it like I should, but instead see it as a series of chores and costs and problems.
Hello everyone, This is my first post here, and I just want to share a small achievement. I find often that if I drank alcohol yesterday I'm much more likely to drink it again today, and yesterday for the first day in around 2 weeks I had no alcohol, this is making it much easier to have none today. Anyway, that's all, and it's not a big deal I just wanted to share it.
