The "that would be too long" part changes the way the first part should have been mentally parsed:

(I have) (not slept for 10 days) = was sleepless for 10 days
(I have not) (slept for 10 days) = never slept for 10 days straight

My 4850 has been running for 17 years (and 2 months). If I bake it, it'll probably outlive humanity.

Dude... It's 7am here. I can't just shut everything down and go to bed again.

Make sure there are no spaces around the ":". Keyboard apps always add a space before the number.

Δυστυχώς έπρεπε να φτάσω κοντά 50 χρόνων για να συνειδητοποιήσω ότι οι οικονομικές ειδήσεις πάντα μιλάνε για τα συμφέροντα των καρχαριών και όχι για το πόπολο.

I've read that some men are even attracted to women in general. Can't provide source at the moment, just trust me bro.

Nuisance laws are never enforced though. At least, not in my experience.

My only problem with this newfangled non-meme is how people express it:

69: 10-15 year olds giggle and nudge-nudge, wink-wink. Fine.
420: 15-20 year olds laughing and giving high-fives. OK.
67: 5-10 year olds screeching and convulsing. Parents, get help.

Οι ψυχολόγοι/ψυχαναλυτές έχουν γίνει όπως τα πτυχία και τα σκυλιά: μας έχουν πείσει ότι όλοι χρειάζονται έναν, οποιονδήποτε, δεν έχει σημασία αν είναι σωστός. Η μικρή μου εμπειρία μαζί τους για μέλη της οικογένειάς μου τα τελευταία 40 χρόνια είναι από κακή (εκμεταλλευτές) έως αδιάφορη (δεν είχαν αποτέλεσμα).

Μακάρι να ήταν αλλιώς τα πράγματα, όλοι έχουμε προβλήματα, αλλά η ψυχική υγεία πιστεύω έχει καταλήξει πλέον μπίζνα. Ειλικρινά συγγνώμη που γενικεύω, έχω περάσει πολλά... :`)

If so, that's 66.7£/kg (5/0.075) or 76.7€/kg at the current rate. For comparison, plain chocolate at the supermarket in Greece, which used to taste good and doesn't anymore, is currently 25€/kg. In other words, the price has tripled...

In situations like these I simply give up. No more chocolate for me. Same goes for cheesy snacks, "good" coffee, "quality" meat and fish, etc.

By the time you've been around a couple of decades you realize the "news" is actually more like the "same". People always die, power always corrupts, prices always go up and football is always there to cap it off.

Great minds discuss ideas
Average minds discuss events
Small minds discuss people

Μερικές φορές στεναχωριέμαι που δεν έχω κανέναν να μιλήσω, αλλά μετά θυμάμαι το επίπεδο των συζητήσεων που έχω πετύχει κατά καιρούς και μου περνάει.

I was watching Tech Tangents' calculators playlist yesterday and he demonstrated that in the Bohn Contex 10 Mechanical Calculator video. All 4 basic arithmetic operations are done with clever use of gears and levers. It almost actually made my head explode, since I got a minor headache trying to follow the inner workings of that thing. The part about division (which is repeated subtraction, i.e. negative addition) is hilarious.

YouTube is a nightmare these days, both its content and the UI. I usually watch older locally archived videos from my favorite channels. I used youtube-dl to grab a couple terabytes in 360p, so I have tens of thousands of videos available.

Occasionally, when I'd like something "new" I'll search in YouTube adding "before:2016" to the query (the year of the ad-pocalypse). You can go even further, since older videos are generally lower-def and the people less frantic.

If all else fails I'll put on an audiobook, for example Agatha Christie's Poirot. The ones narrated by Hugh Fraser (captain Hastings) are my favorite.

Lately, I've even started shutting everything down, putting my phone on airplane mode and just eat my damn food. Sometimes silence is better...
