Yeah, but I am starting to suspect I'm a bad driver

I had once gone into a ditch (spinned out on an icy road) and landed in deep snow, also no injuries. This felt similar, no sudden crash, just a dangerous loss of control. I also kinda liked my car (as much as I can like a car, that is), and it sucks that I need to get a new one now.

The woman whose car I hit said she was in a few as well, also not her fault. Bad luck indeed. I apologized profusely, and she said that she knows it was obviously not on purpose and that shit happens.

 

Title. I totaled my car by rear ending another. Luckily nobody was hurt at all, I steered off when I understood I won't be able to stop so it was mostly side-to-side contact, caught between a highway barrier and the other car. It happened 7 hours ago and I am still shaken. It was clearly my fault.

I am privileged to have savings so I am able to cover my expenses for a new car (I need one due to my living situation), but it still sucks a lot.

I just wanted to get this off my chest.

I am just happy that nobody got hurt. Drive safe everybody, and fuck cars

If you mean the definite form, then no, Polish doesn't have it. Learning English as a kid was difficult because no teacher could explain it to me in an understandable way.

I've been learning a little Romanian lately though and it is there. Romanian is such a weird language. The vocabulary is like a mixture of five other languages, the grammar has gendered words and conjugations, yet it has a strict word order, unlike Polish that thanks to the complex grammar allows for very free reordering.

From now on I'm calling my girlfriend "my microscopic mite"

I know the exact video you reference and yeah, that was clearly not a healthy way of doing exercise. I felt bad for his friends, and while I personally work out a lot (probably also plenty of unhealthy body image, but at the same time I am finally starting to like what I see in the mirror, and I do feel very good thanks to that), I could not imagine doing what he did without burning out to a complete husk

Chemistry has never been my strong suit. But... is metal alloys having lower melting points than the constituent metals (I think that is true at least?) related to the same mechanic?

I don't agree it has been "cheapened", its meaning depends on the relationship itself. I am currently in a new relationship, we've been together for 3 months. I am the kind to be more affectionate, and am often saying that I like her. I sometimes get that back, but I wish it was more often, as I like confirmation and affection too (and I told her that much). But saying "I love you" would be... very significant for me, and we are really not there yet. And also, from what I understand about her previous history, she might very well never have been quite there, despite having been in a very long relationship, so uh, yeah. Knowing that, if I heard her say "I love you" to me, it'd be extremely meaningful.

No, I just put a little water and the "marinade" (soy, liquid smoke and spices) in the dry granulate then knead it vigorously until the liquids are absorbed and it has the consistency of wet dough. The granulate is one of the cheaper kinds, ordered it online but don't remember exactly where.

I kinda freehand them everytime. But I first take an onion, chop it finely and fry it up a bit. Then I put in together with this cheap dried soy mince which I slightly hydrate and marinate in soy sauce, liquid smoke and a huge amount of different spices (cumin, cloves, herbs, nutmeg, etc, I forget all of it). I mix it with my hands thoroughmy, and also put a spoon of potato starch to make it hold together better, then make the balls and fry them.

I usually cook without oil, but these things need a little oil in the pan to be best

Do you think it would work with no oil at all?

Listening to a song I remembered from years ago, I heard this sample (timestamp just before it starts): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQu1TBIMSSk&t=191s

I recognized it as the same one that was used in the soundtrack for the video game Bastion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPWmrwF4MOI&t=25s

I might have bad ears but to me it sounds like the exact same sound. If so, does anybody know where it comes from originally?

 

The voter turnout was like 40-50%. That means over half of the country is evil tankies.

The revolution is imminent!

I mean actual proper research, not CIA propaganda. I want to learn what truly was censored, both when it comes to politics and culture like books or film, and actual material reasons why.

Preferably stuff that destroys the typical Western bullshit about no freeze peach lol, I want to put it against Western censhorship and propaganda.

 
 
 
 

This is not a dunk or a serious post either. I just figured I can post this cutie with minimal pushback bc he is just so beautiful. Meet Bun the rat.

Sadly he died almost a year ago, but he was extremely lovely and kind. Say something nice (or mice) about him, or share your (nice) rodent stories
