  • Well couple of things, it’s entirely possible your friends and family are complete assholes, but sometimes people need to ask themselves how many times have they listened to someone when they want to express their negative emotions?

    My wife’s cousin, her entire life she’s never once lent an ear to a sad friend/family, had had the audacity to tell an aunt who lost her breasts to cancer that she just brings negative energy and wouldn’t be invited to any gatherings at her house, now is suffering through a divorce and cannot fathom why the whole family kind of supports the husband and not her.



  • Both sides are saving face, India lost some fighters more than one for sure. But no clarity, pakistan claims they downed five, BBC independently verified one, some US officials said two planes were shot down. However it’s unclear if they were downed by Chinese made fighters or not, maybe they were. India confirmed that “losses are part of defense action”. Couple other experts pointed it looked like crash due to air-to-air missiles (but experts are all anoynums and from western countries). The problem is there was so much disinformation in Indian media, Pakistani media and Chinese media around that time. It’s next to impossible to say how the Rafale was downed, but at least downed Rafale is confirmed.


  • I had the perfect roommate, he had night shifts, he’d do 00:00 to 09:00. He would come home around 10:00 and sleep toll 18:00 and then we’d enjoy our evening together. I’d go to bed and he’d go to work. He’d been doing this for 6 years at that point and it suited him fine and he was healthy as a horse.

    I think the thing that worked for him was treating even the weekends like weekday and he’d sleep through most of his Saturday/Sunday daylight.

    I think they explained it, the reason they could afford it was because Monica’s grandmother lived there, and they’ve been paying 1950s rent because of rent control or something. Something similar for phoebe as well. Anyway show never explains how joey/chandler/Ross can afford those big houses.


  • Ok, so I checked a superstore near me, and my updated understanding is

    1. anything disinfecting is alcohol based be it for skin or for for objects,
    2. things designed for cleaning skin or to be “refreshing/fragrant” are mostly water based.
    3. However there are skin cleaning products that are marketed more towards deep clean or dirt/oil/grease etc are almost always alcohol based.
    4. cleaning objects intended wet wipes also mostly alcohol based. But if marketed as “gentle” could be water based.

    So baby wipes being meant to clean skin and be “gentle”, it makes sense that they are water based.






  • I don’t know if UK ever had the gaming cafes but they’re still common in east, if you can’t afford console/game, it made so much sense to go to gaming cafe, meet your friends there and you can play from library of hundreds of games without having to pay for games themselves.

    I know it’s still more expensive than buying hardware and games long term, but at least that way you don’t lease console and then pay for games as well, and invest in controllers, good headphones etc etc.

    You get all round package.
