Well... allrighty, then. I guess sometimes I just get tired of all the moping. And lord knows I do my own fair share, so I'm a fine one to talk...

Thanks for the kind words @thekittygirl! Yanno, I forget about that tag... and I forget about just how many cool initiatives we have here.

A fermented chutney? That sounds really good! I've only been party to fermenting cabbage, so this would be a new direction. We're a little far north for good mangoes here, although I do love that mango

I think we got horribly and destructively sidetracked by equating "civilization" with "industrialization." But it doesn't make us more civilized to try to control nature, it only makes

My wife got something similar, and swears by it... great for shoulder pain (she's had a couple of rotator cuff surgeries in the past) and sore muscles in general. I have a feeling you'll really enjoy having

Insomnia does suck. Thankfully, it's a rare enough issue for me that I haven't done anything to treat it. On the occasions where I just can't go to sleep — usually because of racing thoughts about something

I like that! It's a great solution, and you can always claim you have "video difficulties." And then when the video does come on, you can say "See??? I SAID I was having video

Good to see you back and posting something and even better to hear that you have a realistic shot at getting back to Spain! I really hope that works out for you, and in time to get ahead of all that Brexit

I guess I have pretty much always been a bit of a scatter-brained "dabbler" in many things... always jumping from one thing to another. But yes, I do find it helpful for my concentration to

That really does look quite good @bengy, looks like that's a beef flank steak you're using for the outer wrap? Living here in the USA, I miss some of my native Danish food... including (oddly enough!)

That does look delicious @zord189; I've never tried to cook a sunnyside egg inside a slice of bread like that, but it does sound like a great way to add a bit of "sauce" to a sandwich!

Indeed! As one of my teachers pointed out to me, many years ago: The facts don't stop being "facts" just because you don't like them!

Beautifully told! Yes, I believe in signs, but I also believe we create our own realities, as we go along... when I first moved to this town 14 years ago, I reveled in the fact that I was finally back

Yeah well... the maleducation system could use a major overhaul. Starting with teaching kinds (and everyone) such things as critical thinking.

Portugal is nice, and well done on realizing the savings! I'm presuming you're at least breaking even on renting out your house back in the UK? And then, it's all but impossible to put a number on better

Hive is, as you suggest, a utility coin. As such, it's probably not going to experience wild swings any more than ETH will experience wild swings. Right now, we're seeing all this action on ETH related

I appreciate the clarification... I must confess that I was under the assumption that you pretty much needed a PhD in one of the sciences to make worthy posts. So, STEM is a pretty good and "well

Ah, very good, thank you. Variations on laziness. My life as a Creative Slacker.

Dabbling has pretty much always been my gig... I used to refer to myself as an "opportunist" because I just tend to seize whatever comes along; if I can get some benefit, great... or I just move

Around here, fall is in full swing and we have potatoes, carrots and onions coming out of the ground... and still enjoying the freshness. Oh, and pumpkins! Lot of eating pumpkins ripening, and @cosmictriage
