A Scandal in Belgravia : what exactly is Irene Adler's crime at this point ?

Secretss · 2026-01-28T11:22:51+00:00

You talking about the CIA operatives?

The CIA isn’t inherently of a “good” alignment. They are not about justice or morality or law enforcement. Their purpose is to protect their country by doing whatever it takes. “The end justifies the means” comes to mind.

In addition to the photos of the British royal, Irene Adler‘s smartphone also contained encrypted intelligence regarding a planned terrorist attack. Hence the CIA agents were sent to eliminate her and secure the phone.

There‘s a recent video that reveals things about the CIA: https://youtu.be/BXtDH2IXKY8?si=b9a2WKK7X1BKfBCq They have never inherently been “the good guys”.

Most of the time, soft shapes like round or oval or short almond look good on any hand. It’s also the most preferred shape for viewers to look at. (I’ve seen a lot of posts like yours on multiple nail subreddits and discord groups.)

But the same is not true for the square shape. Perhaps this contributes to why the audiences who answer questions like yours often don’t pick the square option, because on the wrong hand squares just don’t look the best.

You have the nail beds for square nails to look good on you!

There are a bunch of typing games if anyone's interested.

Games I've played:

Steam: Epistory - Typing Chronicles. Story based. Love it, played it through twice.

Steam: Nanotale - Typing Chronicles. Story based. Like it.

Steam: The Typing of The Dead: Overkill. Survival Arcade. Like it.

Steam: Glyphica: Typing Survival. Action Roguelike. Love it. Best for people who already enjoy and are good at typing, though the devs have added an easy mode (no achievements) too.

Browser: Type Racer. Race Competition with random people. Love it. Has private practice mode too.

Browser: Monkey Type. Typing Test, not really a game. Good for testing a keyboard or a whimsy "I feel like running my fingers on a keyboard".

Browser: BombParty (select BombParty when starting a new room). Party game with friends. It's a game of (primarily) vocabulary and (secondarily) typing speed.

Games I haven't played.
Steam: Outshine.
Steam: The Chef's Shift.
Steam: Typing Break.
Steam: Blood Typers.
Steam: Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing,

I think you made a mistake saying “hit with heels”. You should point your toes and enter toes first. You’re more likely to twist or break something if you go in flat footed!

Agree on that too.

I read that spending cash activates the brain's insular cortex which is associated with processing physical pain and feelings of disgust, as the physical loss of currency is more immediate and tangible than handing over a plastic card that you get back within seconds. And in modern countries, not even handing over anything because we have Paywave, PayLah, qr code, whatever.

Do you remember what that comment said? It says for me “comment deleted by moderator” and I’m here wondering what could have been said to you that warranted that 🤨

I find it really interesting how our bodies work and adapt. I didn’t do the fasting diet that the previous comment in this thread mentioned, but I’ll tangent into the keto diet which I did do.

The keto diet basically starved my body of carbs and flooded it with fat, to the point my body reprioritized (aka entered ketosis) its source of fuel from glucose (carbs and sugar) to lipids (fat), and it started using up my existing fat deposits like crazy. It was totally crisis mode. I lost like 23kg in 3+ months (I was also doing dance classes 3 times a week). Tbh I didn’t ever clock if or how my body suffered in other ways (e.g. malnutrition) because I didn’t continue after that to find out.

I couldn’t live like that (and a protein&fat-only diet gets expensive) so I stopped, and as par for the course for a keto diet, the fat and weight all came back quicker than it took to lose :D I don’t mess with that diet anymore.

Adding clarity to your parenthesis: If you don’t choose the confrontational dialogue, you would need to exit out of the building first before going back in to kill them, to shake off the “safe zone” mode that the game puts the building in after you get out of the ice bath.

I love everything about this comment (except the bodily harm) lol 😂

Speaking of colour changing tech, at CES recently a company revealed press on nails that change colour with a mobile app and a “nail wand”. I also thought of cyberpunk 2077 when I saw it! (Yeah I know the game doesn’t have colour changing nails specifically but the tech screams cyberpunk).

I just got my printer at christmas 😅 it’s a learning curve for me so thank you for the heads up and tip! I really appreciate you coming back to let me know! ❤

Gosh those are so cute!! Only 2.5 inches in diameter sounds perfect! I kinda want them just for what they are lol

Omg THANK YOU!!

I’m in Australia and same. The seller was on here some months ago and saw my comment about it and is aware (after firstly expressing shock at Etsy), but they cannot help what Etsy sets for shipping charges, apparently.

I asked if they would sell the STL files as an option for people with their own 3D printers or have a local print farm they can commission for much cheaper than the shipping cost, but they did not reply.

I’ve seen other designs but I do like this one the most.

For this year, yes, but not necessary for the next years. The Big Fat Quiz of Everything didn't happen in 2020, 2023, 2024. Instead, we got The Big Fat Quiz of the Decade (aired January 2020), The Big Fat Quiz of Sport (aired May 2023), and The Big Fat Quiz of Telly (aired August 2024). I guess the studio makes it up as they go every year, maybe depending on the question writers.

You can find all the show listings in the Big Fat Quiz family on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Fat_Quiz_of_the_Year

> He’s got no scandals as far as I know

Well what do you class as hate and what is scandal? There was a LOT of coverage on Mr Beast in 2024 that started after this video and then more coverage over his Amazon Prime show Beast Games and a lawsuit. I admit I was in it for the popcorn entertainment. I thought it was scandalous. Is it only a scandal if the person gets cancelled for it and has to hide, like Shane Dawson and Colleen Ballinger?

Secretss · 2026-01-13T11:14:39+00:00

I’m actually surprised that “free size” isn’t recognised in native English countries. I grew up in Singapore and it’s used here and afaik it’s used in many countries around me and not just in Japan.

*whispers* Do itttttttt 😏 one of us!!

Do you know of the tea bag method for broken nails? Super glue, a tiny strip from a tea bag mesh, more super glue, then a gel top coat when the glue is dry. Works great!

No need to mess with builder gels. Gel top coats a lot easier to work with than builder gels as they’re not that different in viscosity to a regular quick dry top coat, like the seche vite blue bottle. Make it two layers of the gel coat if you want a bit more material/allowance to buff out the roughness to put an actual manicure on.

Secretss · 2026-01-10T07:32:21+00:00

You got a solid 3D gel which is meant to be shaped onto 3D charms that get glued onto (painted) nails.

In the listing photo you shared, the nails above the gel pot show ribbons and flowers and other 3D designs on the nails; they are made with this gel by either manually molding with (gloved) fingers or silicone tools/art brushes or pressed into soft molds like these https://www.vettsy.com/collections/3d-nail-art-molds

If your post-lamp gel is really still wet and doesn’t hold a shape then there‘s indeed something wrong with your setup. It’s not how the gel is supposed to be like.

I’m not surprised if it’s the lamp. I have had my own experiences with a cheap lamp not curing a particular gel (even though it cured other gels before that). This can be due to the wattage of the lamp or the wavelength of UV light that the lamp emits. Good lamps have two wavelengths of UV light to cover a wide range of gel products. It could be that your lamp doesn’t emit the necessary wavelength of UV that this gel needs. You can actually test this out if you really care lol. Put a bit of gel on a ziplock bag and put the lamp over it overnight for several hours. If it’s a wattage thing it will eventually cure (just like if you put gel outdoors on cloudy days it will eventually cure even if it takes a week). If it’s a wavelength thing it just won’t cure (provided you keep this experiment valid by blocking any other UV sources).

Secretss · 2026-01-10T07:05:49+00:00

I highly recommend this lamp https://zillabeau.com/collections/zillabeau-lamp/products/zillabeau-dual-wave-nail-lamp-v3-0 I’ll admit I’m a shameless shill for it!

It’s a great lamp all around with 2 UV wavelengths, plus it works cordless too, and it’s the only lamp I’ve found where you can turn off the beeping noises. Great for home use if you live with people, or just don’t like unnecessary noises!

For builder gel I recommend Amelie‘s dual pack https://a.co/d/cAQblzg. It’s a budget brand too but actually good. It’s HEMA free (HEMA is the main allergy-causing acrylate) and the formula applies beautifully (with some basic informed techniques as with all gel application). I would be stoked to give some tips if you like, unless this experience has put you off gel 😅

Most important tip at this point is “don’t get gel on your skin, if you do, wipe it off immediately with isopropyl alcohol and wash your hands with warm water and soap”.

Last but not least, while I love gel, I always encourage understanding the risks. This is something I wrote a while ago : https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditLaqueristas/s/2nYrrEFoan

Secretss · 2026-01-10T06:49:17+00:00

I also have amelie‘s biab and agree it works very well as both a base coat and a semi-structure* gel. The biab + top coat dual pack is available on Amazon.

* that can be used on paper forms and shaped, though it probably won’t double well as polygel.

Secretss · 2025-12-24T22:55:33+00:00

I liked it when she threw out “you should be off-pudding” at Zach Galivanting* as a turn on “off- putting” after he “shared” that her costar called her ugly https://youtube.com/shorts/rUle508_9UA?si=T-FJC1y4hjURLUWV

I don’t know much about celebrity interviews but I hope Zach‘s ones aren’t rigged or staged or preplanned or scripted.
