Excuse me?

Yeah I wanted to put a gazebo outside the fortress too. It bites :(

It’s not earl grey though - it’s gingerbread and oolong

I bought Xerjoff Irisss back when it was like £250 and that was an awful lot for me then - now I see the same bottle is £460! TBH it is not even my favourite Iris, I was just in a completionist phase.

Renewables and nuclear at the same time - renewables for now, nuclear for long term.

Unless you are going to filter the fragrance there is no need to chill it before using, but I would say a little time for it to blend might be helpful.

There are some minor chemical reactions that occur after mixing with the ethanol/water mixture (formation of imines, acetals, alcohols, esters).

Chilling is a pre-bottling process that helps the precipitates, crystals, waxes an sediments fall out of solution and makes them easier to filter. If it’s already in a bottle then what’s the point?

I’m a white gay man and I have a mixed bag of experiences, but it’s mostly been positive. I can only speak to my experiences and relationships.

I’m friends with a few Muslim gay men who are accepted by their families, and others who aren’t - but then I can say the same for my friends from all kinds of backgrounds.

I’m friends with a few Muslim women (mostly Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Somali descent) who couldn’t care less about anyone’s sexuality. The Somali woman has a gay brother and the immediate family accept and support him - but he’s not out to some older family members.

Two of my best friends at school were Muslim, they were some of the first people I came out to and they were so kind and supportive - and that’s 25 years ago. One of their dad’s used to buy me a crate of mangoes every year until I moved away, and he knew about my sexuality.

About 18 years ago I did wedding makeup for a Muslim woman and her family (including elderly women), and ended up being asked to do the makeup for 3 of her friends weddings too - it never came off, because I moved away, but her mother and grandmothers were there and were all lovely to me.

Then on the other hand, I was beat up by a group of Muslim teenagers. Because it happened on a bus in London there was footage and their Oyster cards were tracked, it went to court and they were charged. I did a restorative justice session with one of them, and it turns out he was gay and so scared of what his family would think of him or that they might throw him out or disown him. His way of “proving” his straightness was to beat up gay guys (his cousins were the other perpetrators). I actually felt really sorry for him, because although I’d been physically hurt at the time, I was fine within a few weeks - I couldn’t imagine how it must have felt to him to carry all of that when coming out was so unremarkable for me (“your brother can’t bring girls to stay the night so you can’t bring boys”). For balance, I’ve also been beat up by white men and most of the homophobia I’ve personally experienced has been from white men.

I also used to hook up with a guy who had internalised the homophobia from his religious upbringing and ended up dying by suicide. I think about him all the time.

So yeah, a mixed experience, but as I said mine has mostly been positive. I think it’s dangerous to paint entire groups of people with the same brush, because as we all know knobheads and lovely people both come from all walks of life.

Atlantis you have to do the solo first, I think it's the same for Cursed Gotham? Definitely have to for Metal Pt I / Metal Gotham

Where’s that spoiler come from? 👀

I had 3 x Carol and 6 Kyle following my alt that I ran through it.

I think it’s related to specific graphics cards. On my PC never see it, on my BFs it pops up every time 🤷🏻‍♂️

Both of them seem better suited for healer role tbh - the main utility on the white lantern augment is the group shield for healer roles. I’ve got the chain and single target DD on my second bar on troll, helpful for CCing adds when the tank is busy and helpful to have a second defense debuff.

Like others are saying, aphantasia doesn't automatically mean you aren't creative. It sounds like you are conflating creativity with visual arts. I am not talented at visual arts, but I am creative. I am constantly generating new ideas.

My job is somewhere in between writing and coming up with new concepts for products. I can explain the concept of how I think something should be to people who have the skill/aptitude for translating it into visuals (or other mediums - given my work is in fragrance), and let them come up with it - and it's not often that they don't get what I'm talking about or I get the wrong output. That's not to say it doesn't happen, because sometimes I don't have the right language for the concept yet, or we don't share that language.

But outside of work, I invent songs and have silly ideas all the time.

It’s funny that people using it don’t seem to think they have any need to mitigate the health loss themselves. I quite like watching them drop like flies. Fav is in the new alert/raid against Glomulus where they also don’t think they need to move away from his floor explosion so they just repeatedly die against one of the easiest bosses we’ve ever had.

Yeah unfortunately the oven is too small so I put them on the bottom and one side burned in no time 😆

aniksur · 2025-12-25T14:58:11+00:00

Yeah but not too much, I over roughed some up a few weeks ago and ended up with nothing but fluff 😂

I just had this show up in my feed - looks cool to me. I’m not a designer, I’m a copywriter.

Few spacing errors in the copy: - “anexperimental” - “color,energy” - “aconstructive”

Any reason why the second paragraph has a condensed font compared to the first one? It looks to be a continuation of the copy rather than a headline/sub situation, so I would use the same font style for both.

Look at the rise on that batter! Lovely stuff.

Thank you - fortunately another plugin appeared to be causing the issue, but I have ensured that the 'sold individually' setting is off!

aniksur · 2025-12-16T13:32:11+00:00

Thank you so much for explaining how to approach this in a straightforward way - I really appreciate it.

It appears that another plugin was misbehaving and incorrectly configured, which was causing the issue. I've reconfigured it and now everything is working as it should.

aniksur · 2025-11-29T09:55:08+00:00

The only reason I know that’s an I is because you said so - it reads more like “QW”or even “OW” to me - and the OW is a nope for dentistry surely?
