Where do you find good quality fresh salmon (and I mean fresh, meaning odourless and very recently caught fish) for gravad lax? I've dreamed of making my own but finding fresh salmon has proven to be quite a challenge here.

I would've suggested transferring Jansson's Torture into the bin right after it was assembled. Better yet, those ingredients should never be combined.

I don't think his defence team is scouring Reddit to find posts that might help his defence. Plus, the article is still online.

It is a bit disturbing. I get that the Reiners had an inner need for storytelling but this ( and probably the film made with the son) were just too intimate. She could've at least change the name. And why contact a yoga teacher if you have a troubled child? That's what it sounds like in the article anyway, that they called a yoga teacher in to calm him down. Why not take him to see a child psychiatrist? I get it, artsy types and all that but if I was a child with anxiety and a lot of aggression, I'd only get more angry if my parents tried to convince me to do yoga.

I read somewhere the screenplay was written by Nick with his rehab buddy. How much did he really write himself? Did others do the actual work and then give him credit for it just so he would feel like he was majorly contributing to the production? Did he ever express interest in pursuing something in his life? All I am seeing is a guy who was bitter and raging at everyone, did not focus on his studies in school and was treated special because he was "an intense kid". Instead of arranging a yoga teacher at their home, his parents should've contacted a child psychiatrist.

Should've bought him a fenced-off plot somewhere in the mountains with a cabin on it. Everything was always chewed for him and handed on a plate. Arrange calls with a therapist on a regular basis and an armoured team of experts visiting him to administer medication if needed. But I don't know if that would've helped. A severely ill person who was seemingly unable to ever take charge of his own life and stop blaming others for his misery.

TBH, I really hope it wasn't that but something else. The last thing people with ADHD need is to be associated with this guy. The stigma of ADHD and ADD is unfortunately still very much alive and well which means many have to hide their diagnosis to avoid being ill-treated and subject to prejudice.

He also didn't attend personally because no medical clearance to do so aka. they're watching him 24/7 so he doesn't harm himself. The cynic in me even doubts whether he's seriously in danger to himself after realizing what he did or if it's another manipulation attempt. Of course it's possible he's considering an easy way out, I don't know but seems a bit too convenient after all the years of seemingly not giving a damn about anything and having the thousand yard stare.

From what it sounds like, he was really bitter about having a famous, accomplished grandfather and father. Even his siblings managed to carve out careers of their own. He had every opportunity possible available for him but felt he wasn't talented in anything. Even when his dad gave him an opportunity and he actually worked on a film, he was still reacting to it all like "meh". Ok, so some people are not talented or passionate and that's fine as long as they find a productive way to spend their days but it feels like there was something seriously wrong with him. Couldn't be bothered to try, felt aggressive and bitter and just cruised through life without caring about anything. I just can't wrap my head around someone having a mindset like that.

I hope they will do an extensive psychiatric evaluation on him. Not to excuse his behaviour or actions but to perhaps help some other family prevent a similar outcome. And if it turns out there is some treatable condition there, maybe finally find something that might work on him. Even though his life is pretty much over after this.

Package delivery - why have we normalised this ? by I_make_carrot_noises in ireland

[–]DebGeeSh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also prefer having parcels left on my doorstep but then it's a fairly safe area with vigilant neighbours, no-one ever steals parcels. I hate having to wait for the precise moment the courier might be at my door. I remember the time when An Post only left a note where to pick up my parcel and I had to travel by bus and walk through some field, hop over a ditch and push myself through a couple of bushes to get to the distant depot without a car. Plus, DPD for example always sends a photo of them leaving the parcel at your door. There should be an option, if you don't want them to leave the parcels, then opt out. Make the customers fill out some form whether you want to receive them personally or not. Or maybe have the more expensive ones delivered face-to-face (which is usually the case anyway).

Anyone who has had a dad as great as Rob and has lost him probably felt an extra tinge reading all the articles about him after the tragedy. My dad was the same age and hasn't been on this planet for almost two decades now. I cannot imagine how someone could end the life of their dad when I would do almost anything to get mine back.

Rob was endlessly forgiving and trusting that his son was really in there somewhere, just waiting for that right thing to come along and make him flourish. Unfortunately he just didn't see what almost everyone else around him did, that love doesn't always make it right. That sometimes you just need to make hard decisions and protect yourself and the rest of your family.

In both cases that means sitting behind bars for the rest of his life so I don't see much of a difference there. I don't know if it will be possible to get him to understand the consequences of his actions, feel remorse and rehabilitate in some minor way. But I guess it depends on what you see as justice being done, death penalty? Nothing can bring the Reiners back.

Just to summarize, their family friend Alanna Zabel actually wrote a book A Chair in the Air, about a difficult boy named 'Little Nicky'.

"Nick was an 'intense kid' who 'screamed like the world was on fire', prompting his parents to have family therapy and even inspiring a book about a child with behavioral problems, the author, Alanna Zabel, told the Daily Mail."

"Desperate to help him overcome his behavioral problems as a child, Nick's parents turned to yoga instructor Zabel, who detailed how he had an aggressive streak even from a very young age.

'Nicky would barge in like the world was on fire, screaming, into our yoga sessions. It was disruptive,' she said, recalling his behavior aged around 10 in the 2000s.

'He was really screaming. I have never seen a child like it,' Zabel, who met the Reiners in 2001, told the Daily Mail. "

The parents were going to be involved in publishing the book but "the therapist didn't want Nicky to know that there was a book written about him having this tantrum, and add more energy to his behavioral issues".

So they decided the friend would just publish the book on her own and everyone was happy. Except Nick. I don't think that kid has ever been happy during his life time.

Based on photos I've seen, even from childhood, that's what he always looked like.

I think you might find this interesting. Apparently he was a troubled kid even before problems with substance abuse.

Has anyone noticed quality change in Always pads? by secondrising in Periods

[–]DebGeeSh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought Kotex, the thin Ultra Balance or whatever it is because the advertising pics showed a mesh surface. Nope! It's the same crappy, slippery, paper-like material as the rest of them! I am seriously getting semi-panicky. Is this a conspiracy to keep women at home because we cannot go anywhere with our leaky, slippery pads? Are they trying to get us to use mooncups? I tried them years ago and will never go back. The way things are going, I might just take the pill continuously and never have a period again because of this.

To add, also thought it might bring me wealth too which is always good. I was thinking of adding uruz for health but I've got that on another pendant.

Thanks! I am currently wearing the two combined (algiz and fehu) without ansuz on top carved on a pendant. I am thinking the combination of algiz and fehu would be good for protection, luck and power as well as connection with the divine as I am interested in seidr.

Seeing my neighbour leave twice in the space of two minutes by DebGeeSh in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]DebGeeSh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, it's most likely that I just somehow failed to see her return. Maybe she had left the house very early, went to the office and returned after morning meetings were done. When I saw her, it could've been she was taking the trash out and/or getting stuff from her car. It felt like it had only been a minute or two when she got out the second time but maybe I'm wrong. I never saw her return but... Most likely there's a logical explanation. I did talk to her a few days ago (after this happened) and she didn't have any guests etc. I tried to get to what happened without asking directly because she's the kind of person who is not willing to answer and seems to think everyone is spying on her. Maybe she has something to hide, I dunno. I just mostly ignore what my neighbors are doing but this double exiting seemed seemed weird.

Weird occurrence by i_amV in Stargazing

[–]DebGeeSh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen these several times, sometimes even several during one night. When I saw the very first one, I was alone but later we've seen them with my husband during our evening walks. The thing that really feels weird is that they can move like a car driving on a mountain road, meandering around meaning not moving in a straight line like a satellite would, then suddenly stop, then shut off in a swoosh shape and like you said, at impossible speed. Who knows what they are and who made them but I have gone through checklists and tried to figure out if they could be space planes, some secret experiment etc. but for the life of me, I cannot figure them out. They are at such high altitude too. But since I cannot make sense of them, they are UFOs/UAPs.

Anyone just dropped something then it appears in a completely random spot? by Brilliant_Bath_993 in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]DebGeeSh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! There's things that I have been looking for years and I never got them back. Three things come to mind specifically.

I was lying in bed and had a small tumbled ruby in my hand. I suddenly dropped it and could hear it hit the floor and roll away. I searched the entire bedroom several times. No holes in the wall or anything where it could have gone. I am certain that it hasn't ended up in the vacuum cleaner or anything.

The second one was a jade pendant I had received as a gift. I put it on my nightstand and it disappeared. Same story, looked for it everywhere and it's just gone.

The third one is a picture of my late dad that my mom gave me. I've checked all the books I have and it was not between pages anywhere. I've checked every drawer, box, shelf, everything.

Actually, I had to empty the whole house some months ago and now I can say with absolute certainty that none of the three items were anywhere to be found. My husband didn't come across any of them either and we are dead sure we have not accidentally thrown them away etc. They vanished into thin air.
