So uh, for no particular reason at all…
Anybody know which of .link .nl and .net for bbw-chan is the real one?

I'm still searching for a hair conditioner, that improves combability and doesn't smell like half a bottle of perfume. Every hygiene product has so much perfume around here, I started using disinfection spray as aftershave.

wait that's a hueg flagpole what the heck

Some vacation pictures for you sushis!

That's a lot of weather stones. This probably is a scientific measurement station, you know, redundancy brings safety. If just one stone is wet, maybe someone had pissed on it, but if so many stones are wet, you can be sure it's raining.

Have some clouds!

I'm sensitive to alcohol~

Starting a bit of a dive into wine. Have had red wine lots of times, but never actually paid attention to where they were from or what variety of grape they were made of so I have no idea what I actually like.

Always felt like too much of a gamble to invest in a bottle, but noticed that they do make half size bottles for some. Perfect amount for a chill evening on your own. Added benefit of being less overwhelmed by the amount of different wines there are. And not as much of a loss if it was swill. Picked out an australian, italian and chilean.

Did make a gamble on a fancier portugese orange wine though, never had orange wine before. Now that I have it I'm not sure if I should save it for a special occasion or just go for it someday. No idea what goes well with it either.

Also if you have hoarder tendencies and like to collect empties of stuff you liked it takes up much less space.

Have a lil project going on, making a clone of a nice bitter I like (Gammel Dansk (translated: Old Danish)). Found the recipe in an old cooking book I have laying around. Procured all the spices already but need to pick up booze. Takes two months in total to make so I'll return then and tell of if it was worth it.

It has some bitter almonds in it, which you should be careful with. But I guess I can have a tiny amount of cyanide, as a treat.

I'm 6'4 and don't get drunk easily if at all most times so I just enjoy the drinks for the drinks. I have gotten black out drunk before but it took a lot of effort and was during a bar crawl with some friends.

This thread was abandoned not long after all these commitments were made, who could have possibly foreseen this outcome?
Anyway. In >>22393 I mentioned wanting to study a few languages by reading through their textbooks sequentially. So far, I've focused only one one language, while the others are kept on hold. This way I can ensure I do work through one text without stretching myself too thin. So far, progress has been consistent.
Now, having learned some amount of a couple differnt languages I stop and think to myself: what other things could I learn this way? I realize that if I had stuck to my intention of practicing with programming for the past 10 years, I would be a pro by now, well, at least, about as competent as I am right now with, say, Chinese (which is not to say a lot but still something at least).
Part of the reason I haven't stuck with programming is because of all the distractions, programming is a huge field and I've tried a lot of different topics inside it.
Still, as they say, the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, the second best time is today. Given that I still have some mental bandwidth and intellectual curiosity, I can also start getting more serious with my study of programming, now that I also have a better idea of what it is that I really like. I also choose programming because it seems like it may be a useful skill to develop; on the other hand, I'm not even adjacent to the industry so I can hardly imagine myself getting any use of programming. In my own computer I barely do any of it. Perhaps that may change. And anyway, I would like to be able to make myself one of those "digital nomads" someday, and programming seems like the best way to make a living while on the move.
I have tried writing but just like with programming, I am not even sure I have anything to contribute whatsoever. I would like to make a writing about my language explorations, but I really don't know what I could write about. Does anyone here have any ideas of what kinds of things I could write, about my language learning mostly, but also the different topics I'm interested in, so that it is interesting for people to read?
Thank you for taking your time to read this sushi. Hope you do well in your own projects and goals.

I have made strides in my work. Internet consumption is not down though and I've only memorized two poems. So promising, but not there yet. My language skills have improved a lot though. I'm getting a lot better, but I'm struggling with how much I have to manage.

I'm guessing NEETs struggle with scheduling stuff and managing time effectively. I understand the programming problem. I've been there too. Its such a huge field and its hard to make sense of it and stick to it.

disconnect entirely from an obsession that s become compulsive for as long as possible and eat better

Should probably make an effort to sort my room out (and keep the chaos at bay more than a week for once after having done so), get rid of more stuff.
Bought a carpet years ago and I still haven't been able to put it out because I have a bunch of boxes full of miscellaneous thingies and other stuff in the way. No room to use my reading chair either, cause I have to keep the foot rest on top of the chair with the lack of space.

Should also start lifting weights again, have my own cause I invested in a set before prices shot sky high for real iron. Which is also dependent on the room chaos being cleared away, can't get my lift on because with all the stuff in the way. Can't do my exercises properly without a large enough free spot.

I didn't mean to abandon the thread. It just took a bit of a different direction than I had originally intended and I didn't want to rain on everyone's parade and say you're all doing it wrong or something. I had meant to prioritize completing difficult tasks that one doubts they can do or even KNOW they cannot presently do, the goal being not to achieve those tasks so much as strengthen the mind through facing hardship. My challenges so far were relatively small, but they both fit that criteria - though I haven't had the time lately to do more, being bogged down in work stuff and studying.

I will come back to this soon.

Lucky 7!!!

I like 60 for how divisible it is, including some of my other favorites, 12 and 6.

>>22594
I'm… really not sure
>>22607
It would be so cool to have base-12 system instead of base-10

I like 42
Never read the guide to the Galaxy, but it does sound like fortitude

>>22617
NaN is my favorite number

Everyone wants to share a thread with a kind dhole though!

>>22605
What about sharing a thread with a hind d?

I am ready for some change in my life

>>22605
I want to share a thread with an arai-san though

I will NOT play the horse game.
Sorry boys.

Stop using games to distract yourself from anxiety about starting more productive hobbies, finding work, establishing social networks, etc. It leaves you at the end of the day thinking of all the things you had time to do but didn't.
(if only I could follow my own advice…)

I already have a fan (two actually, a white one as well but I can't really show that at the same time) from that store. scary

>>22519
>>22520
pretty fan, I guess rolls have similar taste

If you drink tea or coffee daily it can be worth it to get a nice quality cup you really like both ergonomically and aesthetically. Makes a big difference since it's something you use so often.

Replace broken items. Maybe obvious but it really does make a difference. Had a broken ceiling lamp for years now, just bare lightbulbs sticking out. Bought a new one months ago but kept postponing cause I didn't really think it'd matter that much. Sure did now that I installed it. Feels really cozy in here now.

Also just a personal kinda comfy purchase, ordered some pipe tobacco. Gotten much too expensive for me nowadays and I already smoked up most of the stuff I had that I liked so I've just shelved that interest. Came across some on a clearance sale at half the usual price per tin, so I got a few. Figuring I'll save them for the future, open sparingly maybe a few years apart. Also got a cheap pipe with a much smaller bowl than my old ones, to eke out the stash further.

Considering picking up a portable (pocket sized) radio.
On one hand, you can use just about anything for radio these days. Built into your phone, almost all mp3-players have built in radio too. Can stream net-radio when you're at the PC.
On the other, it has a certain feeling to have a separate unit for just that. Purpose built interface, probably better speaker, still have battery left on your phone if you run the radio dry. Doesn't spark the same interaction triggers as a smartphone/computer either, check on websites/apps and so on.

Still very much undecided.

My cousin always has a lot of constantly changing vaguely tropical offbrand stuff. Whatever those are I guess?

root beer is the only way
