  • Considering the majority of flavours we experience are in fact smells, if you can cook by your nose you’re usually pretty safe on how the end result will come out.

    I’m not a foodie nor a chef but I’ve been able to break apart and reproduce restaurant dishes just by smelling.

    Lemme share something with you people.

    Eggs are still stupid cheap, today. However, there are too many greedy people between the producer and people that need them for eating.

    My everyday job has me go around to places most will not go and one day I discovered an egg farm, somewhat off the beaten path, that sells directly. Only requirement is that they sell a minimum of thirty eggs (a tray).

    I made a few questions and now I’m bringing eggs weekly from there, invoiced to me by weight. No size distinction but most eggs are L size. Roughly speaking, each egg is 0,1667€, with VAT already included. The same egg in supermarkets is sold anywhere between 6 to 11 cents more expensive.

    That’s too much.



  • I fell off a first floor balcony, helping in a move. Landed on a bush, bounced off it, and came to a stop on a stone paved floor, after breaking a kitchen cabinet with my shoulder and back.

    Cut my brow on a twig in the bush, twisted my left ankle, scraped my left shoulder, elbow and hand.

    Would do it again.

    Hadn’t I leaned too forward to release a foot of the cabinet, it would have tumbled down onto another person, with no warning, straight into their head.

    So… worth the scars and bruises.





  • The mouse randomly clicking is noticeable already at the user log in screen, so I’m going to risk creating a new account will retain the strange behaviour.

    You did manage to make me think there are two DEs on the machine and, maybe, by some weird event, there is an overlapping conflicting mouse controller.

    Booting from a thumb drive is going to be very useful and I thank you for that suggestion. If the latest ISO running live replicates this behaviour, then there is the possibility there is a bug I can report.


  • Annoying but cute. I’m very careful with making sure the correct dongle is inserted in the computer.

    I use a vertical mouse no one else is capable of using and all the other mice in the house are conventional.

    There was a time where I regularly made a fool of myself by having more than one mouse connected.
