I really like Lagavullin but it got reaaal expensive, like 10 years ago it shot up in price (or even longer ago) and since then I only bought one bottle, when I turned 40. I also like Laphroaigs stuff, I found their best whisky was their Cask Strength.

Dead Goon posted:What's the stuff Ultra-Mega-Libertarian Ron Swanson drinks? That's Lagavullin, I wondered once if that had something to do with the price rise (here it went from 60€ to 90€ per bottle), but it happened way before parks & rec.

Guavanaut posted:Failed Imagineer will probably have better input than I, but I think it's from Gaeilge for mouth or lip, via bus, not anything to do with the Latin for rotten or corrupt flesh (pus) or the Old Germanic-Anglish for the sound a cat makes (puss/poes/pos/I'm not sure any of them actually heard a real cat). Whenever I try and attract a cat the sound used here is "kss kss kss", I dunno why except it's said cats listen to S sounds extra well, which might be BS. For our cat it's a pretty surefire way though. I think most languages have their own sounds and I guess cats learn to recognize it for what it is.

Aipsh posted:There are legal firms in Germany who buy lists of people who are currently (probably unknowingly) seeding literally any media on P2P and make a business of sending them legal threats and rinsing you for money on behalf of whatever media company is impacted and they do it constantly. I know a couple of people who got nabbed for fuckin Black K Klansman being seeding for around five seconds after downloading it (because they couldn't get it legally anywhere) and had to pay 1,200 euro to make them go away. This is why I bought a VPN subscription. I also think a lot of the VPNs will hand over your data if asked. Nord is one of the safer ones. Also remember reading doing that might not be entirely legal, or at least it wouldn't have a leg to stand on. In Finland anyway.

I feel I hardly ever see Nordvpn commercials anymore. But the articles I read on the subject pointed them out as one of the ones who actually did what they claim. IIRC ExpressVPN wasn't that secure.

Finnishpendence day today so I'm off work. Making finnish christmas tarts. Prune jam in the center. Gotta be careful how you fold them, wrong way and they start to look a bit fashy...  Also one batch with apple sauce instead.  The difference between a merely good christmas tart and an excellent one is if the puff pastry is made with real butter or merely margarine. The butter one isn't really even more expensive and the difference in taste is great.

Heat pumps are also more efficient at lower temps, which is they tend to top out at 50C or so. In case of using them for your hot water, they are designed to use direct electric resistance heating once a week to raise the water temp enough to kill possible legionella. It's also the backup mode if the heat pump compressor chokes.

Solstice is when traditionally, in my part of the country people used to raise Yule crosses (this might be older than christianity in these parts). It fell out of vouge in the late 19th century except in a few localized places. But I think more people are getting aware of them again, I remember seeing them scattered on house tops as a kid while sitting in the backseat, they where fitted with colored lights and looked real pretty. It was raised on the darkest day of the year to scare away evil spirits. I don't have one to put up this year but I thoght it would be cool to forge one from metal. They're mostly made from wood.    So now you know a very, very obscure piece of local history. His Divine Shadow fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Dec 21, 2022 |

Got my kids a nintendo switch for christmas and they're just playing the SNES and NES games because those are free, drat thing itself cost enough. Their first actual console. They used to just play mobile games. We might buy some actual games later on but for now they can content themselves with the free stuff.

Payndz posted:Wait what. (Got my son a Switch for his birthday, but it's mainly been a Minecraft machine.) Yeah you can download two nintendo packs for NES and SNES and they are filled with games for those consoles. The thing that does cost is a nintendo membership though... But it didn't seem you could do much without that. Far from all titles though! No megaman or tetris, only tetris I found was Tetrs 99 which only had multiplayer modes for free. Multiplayer Tetris? Few worse ideas I can think of.

Mebh posted:I don't know the specifics of age, but I'd suggest prohibition only works for so long and they'll just go even more off the rails once unleashed. I know I did. 9yo twins. I don't play any games myself, the most I've played in the last decade was super mario 3 on the new switch over christmas. So far they haven't shown any interest in online playing, they barely seem to know what it is. In ways they seem very sheltered from these things and they've never shown much interest either. I think a part of it because neither me or my SO play any games, well my SO plays candy crush and the kids do too because of that. We don't watch TV or watch any regular shows either. I don't think they get exposed at school either since you can't bring stuff like that there and they don't meet friends much outside school.

I did meet my ex and current SO because they asked "Is this your car?"

My response was I basically stopped gaming altogether and never gave the gaming industry another cent until this christmas when I bought my kids a switch. I also remember I didn't care one bit for the rise of multiplayer gaming, I liked single player stuff.

I saw my grandfather slaugther chickens and cut their heads off as a kid, and we also raised a pig and killed it and ate it, same with a pair of sheep. I think I would've been around 4-7 for those events. The pig was the saddest part, we never did that again even though we eat pork still, chickens or sheep didn't bother me though. Pigs are smart tho, you can tell.

endlessmonotony posted:Google has slowly and steadily declined into complete incoherent nonsense when it comes to anything at all in Finnish. It's genuinely unusable these days. My colleague thinks it's gotten really good at finnish. He's a fluent finnish speaker but it's not his native language (russian). He uses it for bulk translating stuff, then he goes through and rewrites it until it sounds good. It's a big labour saver that way. I do the same when I translate stuff into english. Bulk of it sounds fine, certain stuff and idioms don't translate. It's still less work than writing everything by hand again.

Brendan Rodgers posted:Once, I was practically living in hospital and there was this super old patient who was incoherent, constantly getting up when the nurses wanted him to stay put and not exacerbate his issues, whatever they were. Seemed impossible to get a real sentence out of him. I was admitted for several days in 2015 or thereabouts when I got diagnosed with diabetes, been feeling weird for weeks and finally went to the ER, I remember I was quite happy first about the weight loss... Anyway the guy next to me was an old guy who was going through DT. He thought my laptop bag my fiance brought me earlier was a dog and told me my dog is shaking, why's it's so scared, how come I get to keep a dog at the hospital?!?! He kept getting up too and having hallucinations about his dog, eventually they transferred him, thank god.
