I don't know why anyone bothers with the faff of cutting the hole in the bread. Get a nice slice of sourdough, beat 2 eggs, add salt, dip bread, chuck in pan, pour rest of egg on top, grate a lil cheese on. :yum:

I enjoyed reading The Mind is Flat, which I addresses a bunch of things about how a lump of electric suet keeps deceiving itself in determinable ways. It's not a self help book but that's good because those are poo poo, and it prompted a bunch of "nooo you can't just say that most historical psychotherapy is pseudoscience they're already looking for reasons to defund us" "haha electric dumpling go brr" dialog, because flat minds respond better to some kinds of thought process modulators than whatever horseshit Freud and Jung were on.

This sounds fascinating, ordered, thanks fellow smoothbrain

Coohoolin has lived in Scotland for most/all of his adult life. I don't know how else you would describe a Scottish person other than "has lived in Scotland for most of their life" (because "hates england" is too broad a category)

Yeah but he's like really into being Scottish.

Nah jk I don't care, I thought he'd only been there a couple years so that's useful context. Not "useful" in the sense of something that I will actually use in my life, but there it is

I've lived in the UK for about a decade now and while I don't sound English because I spoke it fluently before, I definitely sound *more* English now than when I moved here. It's not weird, it's just what happens. I have friends who have kids who learned English in certain parts of the UK and sound like they're from there despite their families being from somewhere else. Hell, I've even seen kids from different continents in London who sound like they're from Newcastle because that's where their primary school teacher is from.

Hell, I sound Mid-Atlantic just because my missus is American, continuous exposure will rewire your brain

Some people just naturally pick up accents quick too. I speak with a pretty broad western Scottish accent, but because a good friend of mine is very Scouse, I now unconsciously add "like" to the end of a lot of sentences, it's a curse.

From Cork, Americanized by my partner, so now I use "like" in both the middle of sentences and at the end. Shameful

Well if Wallace is English you can infer things about his dog. That is, if you believe humans can "own" animals. I guess dogs don't have real passports so maybe they're just stateless

Even a full moon gives considerably less than 1 lux of illumination, you'd need a football pitch of PV panels to even charge a phone. In practice internal resistance means PV panels just don't produce any power at all at such low levels.

You've staked a big claim here on "PV panels don't work in Northern Europe" but this reply is pretty thin, bordering on the obtuse

This all reminds me of every fucker on the BBC insisting on pronouncing chorizo as 'tho-ree-tho' and, like, I get it, but we're not in Valencia and no one is popping into 'prey-a-mange' for a sandwich, why that word specifically???

But you would pronounce the "T" because it's followed by a vowel, and you pronounce the "-er" as "ay" at the end of an infinitive, so I'd say "Pret-A-Mon-zhay" in both French and English. My French is quite poo poo tho

As was frequently pointed out since pre-Brexit vote and subsequently, turning the UK into an isolated little island with few trading partners makes it exponentially more reliant on trade partners, which leads to a lot of kowtowing to autocrats. Plus the natural Tory admiration for autocratic regimes, and the opportunities for mutual profiteering.
