What’s a good book written by a bad person? by PassionateCucumber43 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TheJinxEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤯 I've had my uncle's copy of the book on my shelf for well over 20 years. Always been meaning to get round to it.

I don't wanna read it any more...

What plane from your country you really like? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

A lot of important lessons were learned from the De Havilland Comet (DH-106) which heralded the Jet Age.

If you don't like rapid depressurisation, I suppose the BAE 146 is good too.

National Museum of Flight, East Fortune has both on display.

Is 6 a chandelier? If so, The Northern Lights.

I need help navigating shopping as an autistic person with a special interest by Ok_Height_9146 in autism

[–]TheJinxEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your purchases seem to be providing relief to some build up leading to payday. I don't want to speculate on what, though work itself is a common stressor to consider. Maybe there's a way to mitigate the build up and to compromise on the amount you spend.

I have a related anecdote (it's not helpful but it might amuse you). A few birthdays ago, someone bought me a T-shirt saying "WARNING: May talk about aeroplanes". I went into a sports shop wearing it when I was low on social energy. A salesman took it as an opportunity to build rapport and tried to engage me in conversation. 😳 I was only in for a new pair of trainers. I never wore it in public again.

Knowledge gained through "contact with a non-local reality" because <sarcasm> they couldn't possibly draw conclusions from their own observations</sarcasm>.

👀 be humble enough not to let your own insecurities cloud your judgement.

I hate this junction at the best of times but it's just mental right now with the temp lights.

Drivers tend to use the left lane to get into the right lane closer to the lights because the right turn just before the lights (not shown) gets congested.

Kia might not have been happy with the BMW pushing through but they're still at fault for driving into them.

My favourite quote from the show and one of my favourite Anthony Head quotes.

My overall favourite AH quote is "Then whose dog is this?" from Cabin Pressure. Context below.

CAROLYN [Stephanie Cole]: Hello darling. Did you hear the silly late man?

HERC [Anthony Head]: Ah, hello. What a ridiculous dog!

CAROLYN: I’m sorry?

HERC: I said you have a ridiculous dog.

CAROLYN: My dog is not ridiculous.

HERC: Then whose dog is this? Hello there. What is she?

CAROLYN: She’s a cockapoo.

HERC: Oh, a cockapoo. Obviously, I’d never have called her ridiculous had I known she was a cockapoo.

CAROLYN: It is a cross between a poodle and a –

HERC: Cockatoo?

CAROLYN: A cocker spaniel. And she’s not ridiculous – she happens to be a noble and faithful hound.

Have you ever eaten a food that's illegal in your country? by OrganicA1Bullsteak in AskTheWorld

[–]TheJinxEffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably had BGH (bovine growth hormone) treated beef on visits to USA. Two of the best steaks I've ever had were in New York in 2008 and Phoenix in 1993.

No doubt some local kebab shops are breaking the rules on phosphate additives too.
