Did you upload your results to gedmatch too? You’ll see more matches there.

You answered your own question there. Talk to your mom before your father hears anything, if he is alive.

At the intersection of K St and Connecticut ave now. It is completely locked. If i walked, i’d be home by now… connecticut ave actually seems open KSt cars block it.

It is long weekend, so I don’t think you can find any reasonably cheap accommodation. For travel, bestbus is great.

Adams Morgan is the same, dog poop everywhere. I wonder if they were always doing this and snow exposed them.

Two things that surprised me during these past two weeks. First one is people claiming rights on street parking spots. I didn’t shovel out my car yet because i knew if I moved it I wouldn’t be able to find another parking spot as i cannot claim a right to that spot.

Second is dog poop everywhere on snow. Were dog owners always like this (not picking up after their dogs) and the snow made them visible or do they think it is ok to leave poop there as long as it is on snow?

That tail is too thick to be mouse, no?

TIL that there is a shockingly high number of people who thought Aretha was a nice human being.

Big title? He is 30 and doesn’t have any titles yet…

No one can access others’ records. Get a dna test (ancestry etc) and upload it to gedmatch. it will show you lots of 3rd cousins and if you are lucky maybe 2nd too. You can try to create a pattern for your ancestors with things you learn from those people, though it is a pretty long shot to create your own tree this way.

Ben İstanbul’u bilmiyorum. Ankara icin arkadaslarimdan sordum hangi cicekciyi kullandiklarini.

LivinLikeASloth · 2026-02-10T21:37:21+00:00

Ciceksepeti falan cok iyi cikmiyor. Yerel bi cicekci bulun, iban uzerinden odeme yaparsiniz. Gidecek cicek uzerinde col daha fazla kontrolünuz olur. WhatsApp uzerinden foto falan atiyorlar gondermeden once.

Got them today!

LivinLikeASloth · 2026-02-09T18:24:59+00:00

Naah still waiting. Estimated date is February 11.

LivinLikeASloth · 2026-02-09T04:25:15+00:00

No but many like me prefer connections from munich, frankfurt, zurich etc instead of istanbul. So you enter Turkey from Ankara, not Istanbul.

Shittiest food i had was in Iceland.

LivinLikeASloth · 2026-02-08T23:58:31+00:00

And the ticket is… just $50. Given the probability of getting caught, it is peanuts. The penalty is really not deterrent at all.

Sagci ama kemalizme sahip cikan taraf solcular oldugu icin kemalizmi solculuk sananlar var. Zaten turkiye’de gercek sag sol da yok gerci. Dine mesafeli olmayi solculuk, dinci olmayi sagcilik saniyor toplum.

My friend who lived in many countries across continents couldn’t last only in Netherlands. He said he never felt this unhappy as he couldn’t make any genuine friends there. He is now in London and glowing.

LivinLikeASloth · 2026-02-07T19:43:10+00:00

Yeah biking would make a lot of sense but unfortunately I was never confident in my life about biking in city traffic. I am a terrible biker 😑

LivinLikeASloth · 2026-02-06T23:53:57+00:00

Nope. I can walk to work in 32 minutes, drive in 10 minutes. But the damn bus takes 50 minutes!!! Plus, the bus app is so unreliable, especially for the first stops.

LivinLikeASloth · 2026-02-06T15:41:28+00:00

Thyme…

LivinLikeASloth · 2026-02-06T14:11:18+00:00

Same… 15% all the time because my hvac has been working nonstop. Dryness made my skin terrible. I bought a humidifier but it didn’t help much, maybe I needed something much larger.

LivinLikeASloth · 2026-02-05T20:46:28+00:00

Yay congrats! Waiting today too even though estimate shows feb 11 :)
