I've tried watching it about 5 times and get to different points before I burn out.

It has sparked an interest in the works of R.D. Laing for who Lain is named in reference to.

A Psychologist who was active in the 60's and is famous for their work with schizophrenics; I've been curious if their work may give a bit more context to understand Serial Experiments Lain

Doesn't it provide a safe way of preserving food that housing built before personal refrigeration became common won't have (a larder, basement, or even shaded garden)?

Methods of refrigeration become especially important if you do not have a regular way of retrieving food.

Not to mention, even cooked vegan food can and will spoil quicker without refrigeration.

My mum's a child psychotherapist, from her perspective medication aught not to be the first thing people jump at, but it very much has it's place; an example being children with ADHD who literally cannot sit down to the point of them getting distressed, actually being able to sit down and engage with therapy after starting medication. Similar things with anxiety and depression, if anxiety holds you back from opening up and personal thoughts and feelings then medication can enable that for therapeutic work to begin.

The bigger issue she has is when people (often parents) only want the medication but don't want to try and engage with the therapy.

Just something to think about

Communism is from each according to their ability, to each according to their want.

I thought it was "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need"?

Wants and needs are often conflated but the outcomes of each phase would likely look incredibly different.

Yeah, you say twot to an English person and they'll look at you like you've sprouted a third head.

The correct way to pronounce it is twat:

The twat in a hat came at me with a bat.

As opposed to:

The THOT whose a bot sent me her twot.

Huh, same here, that's odd

What type of tub is it? Free standing or one with a panel on the side?

If one with a panel on the side you can remove them by cutting the silicone, which will enable you to see the drain pipe and the trap, and you can then inspect it for leaks (use a dry piece of paper towel to test if a leak continues after drying it initially)

If it's due to a leak from the water supply pipes you could try turning off your water at the source/stop tap, open up your all the taps in the house and drain your system (I wouldn't suggest doing this if you have a water storage tank). If the dripping stops after doing this, it's likely to be your water supply pipes, as opposed to the drain.

I'm honestly surprised no-one has built an extension to automatically opt out of them, or at least the major cookie providers interfaces.

I realise there are many extensions which outright block cookies, etc; I'm meaning specifically the annoying dialogues you describe

Wow, 3DS as well...

Wait, PSP‽

The ginger bug is probably what affected it here, my wonderful neighbour has given me a few homemade bottles of ginger beer before, and one's exploded in the fridge, the other had enough pressure build to blow the lid off when opening from a remaining 2 inches of dregs.

Apparently, there's just something about ginger fermentation that really builds pressure

My brother in Christ, how much do you know about housing? Renovations? Insulation? Mycology?

The standard that likely had not been followed was ensuring that the property was watertight to begin with.

The dry rot that is spreading through their house is effectively going to condemn it.

Your take of "hurdur, how hard could it be to do some insulation? you glue on the boards, mesh and render" is asinine at best.

Lots of these companies didn't do their due diligence to ensure the suitability of the properties before installing.

Which then disproportionately effects people who are less likely to be able to afford repairs due to them already being on very limited lower incomes, the exact reason why they are getting this work done via these schemes.

I took wouldn't want to trust the same company that put me into that position to be the one to rectify it.
