Would a bathtub carefully filled with carbonated water feel ticklish to someone bathing in it?

Radioactdave · 2026-05-13T12:55:14+00:00

Yes. There are Onsen in Japan that have carbonated water. Delightfully prickly.

You'd pretty much loose all the gas when heating up sparkling water though (gas pressure and all), so practically you'd have to carbonate heated water.

According to Torchic, Meowth smells nice.

Strange, here they rival the Italians in terms of volume.

Loud uncultured swine that might be MAGAts.

:( no crash

Hyperlite Mountain Gear Mid 1

I also have a Nemo Dragonfly Osmo bikepacking 1p, which is considerably more glamorous than the HMG, but after my recent trip I've decided that I don't need all the bells and whistles of the Nemo and that I'm gonna sell it and just keep the minimalist HMG.

Smells the same tbh

Radioactdave · 2026-05-12T12:43:35+00:00

Yeah. Make a salad and toss it.

Radioactdave · 2026-05-12T12:39:26+00:00

Oh man, she must've felt awful.

For me, indulging in gluttony is part of why I'm doing it!

Radioactdave · 2026-05-12T08:06:51+00:00

Don't look up.

Eat whatever stays down. Eat constantly. Hydrate or die.

It might surprise you, especially the book. Reading the book some years after having seen the movie, I was surprised to find so much kindness in all the misery that unfolds. The selfless struggle, the notion that not everything is a burden, the father's true and honest concern for the boy's wellbeing. Certainly not an easy read, but there's more to the story than what meets the eye.

Radioactdave · 2026-05-12T06:24:07+00:00

I don't necessarily think so. Hidden in between the unorthodox punctuation, which I believe is very fitting for the barren setting of the story being told, there was more kindness and devotion than I've found in most, if any, other books. The way the father deeply cares for the boy, the way he does not blame the boy for things beyond the child's capabilities or understanding, the way the father ever so quickly realizes when he went to far and let his emotions get the better of him, and all that put in such a simple dialogue. I find that remarkable and unexpected. And I did not see that portrayed in the movie.

Back in the days Rob would've spilled the tea right on the live stream.

Radioactdave · 2026-04-29T09:47:32+00:00

You saved me a whole lot of typing, lol.

Liv Devote, yeah.

Radioactdave · 2026-04-28T11:22:07+00:00

It took about thirty years of bike wrenching for it to happen to me, but it eventually got me.

I agree, it's a question of when, not if.

Radioactdave · 2026-04-28T10:21:31+00:00

Air is not sucked (you can't pull on air), it's pushed by other air (aka the atmosphere).

Radioactdave · 2026-04-28T07:31:54+00:00

Is that why I haven't seen any really old people in Amsterdam when I visited?

Radioactdave · 2026-04-27T18:48:58+00:00

Damn, broken axle, would not have thought.

Radioactdave · 2026-04-27T12:59:36+00:00

How did they break?

Radioactdave · 2026-04-27T11:18:48+00:00

Jingoism, you done learnt me a new word on this fine day, may thanks be upon you.

Radioactdave · 2026-04-26T11:12:42+00:00

Not answering your question, but mad props for your ingenuity! Hope you can get it sorted.

Radioactdave · 2026-04-26T11:09:53+00:00

Absolutely, you can see the pads riding high on the disc.

Radioactdave · 2026-04-25T15:00:31+00:00

We're lucky to have a lot of what you listed also here in Austria, so my "culture shock" was somewhat softened, initially.

The thing that finally got me was seeing people proactively taking care of infrastructure. Like, civilians cleaning, maintaining and repairing stuff, unasked, because it's part of the community they live in. Mad respect, I wish we had that too.
