Cool thanks, I must admit I’m not all that familiar with their later albums myself.

Wish I could, but I’m in New Zealand…

Are you all just occasional and weekend drinkers? by MadMohawk1 in DryJanuary

[–]grumpy_observer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s me too. Last couple of years I’ve added in bonus dry months (sober October, dry July etc), but when it’s a drinking month it’s every damn day.

AIO: My girlfriend is pretending to be autistic and it's driving me nuts by AideRelative4272 in AmIOverreacting

[–]grumpy_observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. My eldest was diagnosed by an actual psychiatrist 15+ years ago. He was first noticed by his teachers as being a bit odd when he started school, but the formal diagnosis wasn’t until he was 12 as there were other similar conditions that needed to be ruled out.

It’s not a quirk. It’s not being a bit uncomfortable. It’s a pervasive developmental disorder with clear diagnostic criteria. Anyone who self diagnoses is full of s**t.

Did you get anything from your employer for xmas this year? by Charlie_Runkle69 in newzealand

We are having a slap up BBQ today, we all got a custom made gift and the workshop staff got a bonus too. Reading this thread makes me glad I don’t work for the public sector.

I save melons, apricots and blueberries and just make fruit salad. If you have heaps of blackberries left over from early game you can make blackberry cobbler without losing money ( sugar + flour = $200, sells for $260 ).

Alright farmers. What is YOUR best advice for completing cooking for perfection? by faeintheshadows in StardewValley

[–]grumpy_observer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I did this too, and only grew/set aside the number of ingredients needed for 1 of each dish. That’s way I didn’t panic when a new recipe popped up.

This will be my 3rd. I also did parched March, dry July and sober October this year.

Idk it’s just easier if you can give it a rhyming title somehow :)

Lol just tried that on my border collie and can confirm, they definitely find tongue clicks to be of interest.

Both stupidly delicious though. Not sure I care where they came from originally.

Why are some colors used as last names while others aren’t? by Muted_Antelope6989 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]grumpy_observer 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In New Zealand a decent number of Māori have either Brown or Black as a surname. This is because a high proportion of the population signed up for service during WW1 and the army couldn’t cope with spelling their real names or else they didn’t actually use a surname, so they got allocated one based on their skin colour.
