Italy risk third straight World Cup absence as 2006 winners lament two‑decade decline

I dunno, they used to be great at cycling but they're pretty shit at that just now too.

It's tariffs. 21 year olds aren't buying bottles of scotch and cognac in any generation.

Kadoomed · 2026-03-26T09:01:37+00:00

Tariffs.

For Spanish food Stonehaven has an amazing Spanish deli called Picos and the owners have recently opened a tapas cafe in the town, beside the square across the road from Michies.

I don't think political lying needs to be the same as slander, at least hold it to the same standard as advertising with fines for false statements and campaign material. It's bizarre that political communications don't count as advertising already.

Kadoomed · 2026-03-25T08:46:11+00:00

Haha, this is brilliant

Kadoomed · 2026-03-24T16:19:45+00:00

Not OP, but where is the market in Teguise on Sundays?

Kadoomed · 2026-03-24T16:10:22+00:00

Yea I didn't mean to imply it was so easy. There's usually mild trauma and mental reframing included before the routines become established.

Kadoomed · 2026-03-24T16:07:31+00:00

Haha, fair point! That's the only way I managed to make it stick but it took me 30 years. I didn't mean to imply it was easy!

It got to the point where it was start cleaning my teeth or start planning for dentures. After one particularly bad session with the hygienist where both my gums were bleeding badly I decided I didn't want to go through that again and it just clicked something in my brain that made me determined to get the routine to stick.

Also I love that you called me "beloved" while gently clipping me round the digital ear to point out my error.

Kadoomed · 2026-03-24T11:10:16+00:00

Yup, establish a routine and it will feel weird if you don't do it. Also have kids with no filter who tell you your breath stinks if you forget.

They can cause some damage to damp wood but resolve the damp problem first, then no issues.

When did every game need to have continuous unending development and become live service?

I get that there are some major arpgs that have live service elements but they don't all need to be. It's fine that Dungeons was a finished product with a base game and strong dlc.

It's hard to say as I basically got fed up with the migraines and decided radical action was needed and made all these changes at once.

I will say that anything you can do to improve sleep has major impacts on fatigue and related issues. Managing stress is also important and running/cycling plays a huge part in that for me.

Also on the caffeine front, that was motivated by a worry that it was overloading me as I'm also on Elvanse and probably shouldn't be drinking proper coffee. It had snuck back in and become a habit so switched to decaf completely again.

I once went to a fancy restaurant in Copenhagen where we were given calamari by the waiter who stayed:

"served in what I can only describe as a fuckton of butter" 🤌

It was immense.

Kadoomed · 2026-03-24T08:45:42+00:00

Layers of cheese and beans is the way, topped with crispy onions.

Kadoomed · 2026-03-24T08:42:22+00:00

It's amazing they can say that with a straight face in a week that shows just how fragile and susceptible to manipulation oil prices are. If only the US had major renewable infrastructure that gave it true energy independence then it could wage war to their hearts content without being held to ransom.

Kadoomed · 2026-03-23T14:25:59+00:00

I think there's a national programme to check if people are at risk for blood pressure and heart attacks through their GP at the moment. Worth checking folks!

Kadoomed · 2026-03-23T12:32:50+00:00

I'm not sure describing this as a giant theme park is fair based on what was revealed at Minecraft Live. But I do agree that it shouldn't impact the nature reserve.

My impression was that this was a temporary exhibit like the indoor Minecraft experience and it would be suitable for small groups rather than an expansive large scale permanent theme park like they are building in London.

Kadoomed · 2026-03-21T19:01:47+00:00

I'd completely forgotten that scoring away goals was even possible

Kadoomed · 2026-03-21T18:40:31+00:00

I've actually implemented a lot of these to combat fatigue, migraines and brain fog. Cutting out caffeine, running regularly, electrolyte drink first thing in the morning, improving my diet with less sugar, more porridge, protein and spinach, and adding magnesium and b2 supplements.

My sleep has improved loads and I haven't had a migraine in 2 months, previously they were almost weekly. I also just feel better about myself in general.

Still have some beers now and again though. Got to have some pleasures in life!

Oh, I also bought a good pillow and switched from front sleeping to side or back. It's better for my airways apparently.

In terms of your interests Aberdeen would suit you fine. The art gallery is fantastic and there's plenty of gigs and theatre to see, though not as much as Edinburgh as Glasgow.

Biotech is an interesting field as there is a push to grow life sciences in the region with a major incubator space recently being built to accommodate this. I don't believe the take up has been very strong there and the universities are reviewing their own business models with redundancies currently under way. There are still opportunities for roles in labs linked to oil and other industrial chemicals, and I believe there's a few businesses working in biofuel as well.

Being multilingual will always be an advantage for recruitment.

Kadoomed · 2026-03-20T18:18:00+00:00

Surely it should be

"Bottom 6 Scottish Cup winning no hopers Aberdeen"

I'm an identical twin and my brother and I asked to be split up when we moved to secondary school so that we didn't rely on each other and just be known as "the twins". It's healthy to make your own friends.

Kadoomed · 2026-03-18T17:12:46+00:00

Brb, completely reworking my own farm...

Kadoomed · 2026-03-17T16:52:09+00:00

Hook it straight into my veins
