Rather not say but across the border south, about 4-5 hours from Bucharest.

It was fun having to go to work yesterday morning. Nothing was cleared up, no way for cars to get to my house so I had to make a trek by foot. This morning was worse because some of the snow had melted during the day yesterday and it refroze. Everything is slippery now.
One thing outside observers need to know is how incompetent the municipality services are. They knew in advance that this storm was coming. There were warnings all week. It came a day late here so they had extra time. The municipality website showed no information, just some cultural events and an article from two days ago that “the municipality is ready for the winter”. At this point we have a saying for poor organisation during winter time when everyone knows it’s coming in advance:
“The winter surprised us again!”

While it really does feel like it, as a person working in healthcare, I do see some change after the whole shitstorm from recent years.
But also I also see some negative tendencies:
This came out longer than intended but there were some things that I needed to get out of my system.
Saudi peninsula
Eye twitch
I use irc for the more obscure books. It’s a bit more annoying but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy.
On a similar note, many coffee brewing devices are made out of plastic. I bought a ceramic hario v60 for that exact reason, despite all sources claiming that plastic is safe and brews better. The aeropress is a different question. It’s made of polypropylene and just now they made a glass version (which knowing me, I would break it within a week). I rarely brew in it partly because of it being plastic but brewing temperatures are between 80 and 92°C. Should I be worried?
I am not in any shape or form justifying cheese (over)consumption. Health isn’t the only reason I advocate for a plant-based diet. The environmental impacts and carbon footprint of meat and dairy make a gas guzzling pickup truck pale in comparison. For me, cheese was the hardest thing to give up. That thing is addictive. But learning about the suffering that the animals endure, the environmental impact…I just could not go on like this.
Not sure how much I agree on the dairy part. Apart from the inherent ethical problems associated with it, dairy is an all around promoter of cardiovascular disease. My anecdote is that while I was vegetarian, I suffered from high BP and had to be put on meds. Once I went vegan, my BP dropped to the same levels as with meds before. I’m also prone to gout due to genetics. This change in lifestyle had to be the best step I took for my body.
Now, I see why this study had great results. Eating a varied diet, especially rich in whole foods is a good thing, dairy or no dairy. People just want cheese in their diet and that’s a compromise a lot of studies do to reduce dropout rate and make people stick to a diet. It also makes dairy companies happy.
PS2 in the early 2000s. I thought the graphics were something else. Up until 2005-2006-ish all I had was a bootleg NES clone with a shoebox full of unlicensed cartridges. I grew up with 80s games in the 21st century.
I finally got my hands one one off the flea market for 30$. Some modding later and it plays like a charm!
Oh, the patent expired? No problem, we’ll just methylate the structure, see that it makes no difference and put it out on the market as a new drug. Or maybe take the active part of a racemic mixture and half the dosage. Same drug double the patent. Semisynthetic insulin is even worse in that regard.
