The latest Humble Digitized Tabletop Bundle is actually pretty damn interesting. I was interested in all those games. So I checked out...

Default:
- 5,73 to Publishers
- 0,44 to charity
- 2,64 to Humble

Extra to Charity:
- 5,07 to Publishers
- 1,32 to charity
- 2,42 to Humble

Wtf? That's barely anything extra to charity at all despite the name. Humble ain't that generously humble after all.

So I went custom:
- 1,33 to Publishers (1 cent more than Humble :P)
- 6,18 to charity
- 1,32 to Humble (can't go lower, sneaky)

If they had the 'Extra to Charity' actually mean something, I'd not have thought much about it. But this was just insulting!

Strangely enough I know a fair amount of teachers who really could use a lesson in communication skills... :eyeroll:

@freemo So, what are you going to do during this 3-week downtime? Or rather, the lack of able-to-go-down time? :P

Gotta love mom's cooking. Helped her out today so I could learn how to do this particular meal. So godly delicious. :P

Got the sinking feeling something isn't quite right here. It's on top of my mind but I just can't figure it out. This issue might be way above my head. Maybe I'm still too wet behind my ears to solve this. I'd better surf online for a solution.

*Opens the freezer to get some meat for dinner*

*Grabs a chicken filet that was put in about 1,5 years ago*

*Prepares the chicken in a meal and eats it*

Neat. I'm still alive.

Yesterday a dove banged mid-flight against my living room window. Don't worry, it flew away. Likely with a concussion. But it is a city dove, so probably no difference there. :P

You can clearly see the contour of that bird plastered on my window. I can easily see the wingspan, it's quite a nice sight. Alas, it doesn't take well to camera, it's barely visible if at all on screen.

Don't buy them: it infringes my moral right (davidrevoy.com/article864/) and they added CC-By compliance just now after fans noticed.

I'm starting to think you might be the smartest person on this server :)

@Pat

I knew Hexcells Infinite got dark mode implemented about a year ago. I didn't get around to playing it again until recently. Turns out this is very enjoyable, it even has brightness settings for the dark mode! It sure beats staring at a blinding screen of white!

Plus the addition of easy access to usermade levels made this game a lot more replayable. Woo!

@lydiaconwell I've got this 'ginger green tea with a twist of matcha & turmeric' from Clipper and I've tried it out. It was edible, I can drink it, so that is saying a lot coming from me. ;)

I can taste that this is a whole lot more 'herb-y' than the nettle tea, but it's doable. It's also not too strong, but it's stronger than the nettle. I still have to try this out some more, but I guess it's another potential before-bed-tea.

@lydiaconwell I've tried this nettle tea.

My first impressions is that it doesn't taste awful, so that's good! It was a bit blander than expected, maybe I need to learn this taste or add some honey. But even with 3+ minutes infusing it doesn't taste bitter like black tea, so honey is probably not even necessary at all. Just need to try it out some more.

The aftertaste was pretty fine. It even seems to have something sweetish aftertaste, even though I've not added any sweeteners.

The result is that I'm willing to try this more times. I still have a bunch of teabags left, so I definitely can get to experiment with it some more. Might be a nice solution as a 'tea before going to bed' thing!

Today's XKCD is something I can partake in right now! I'm the perfect vessel for whatever common cold virus is roaming around! :P *Cough* *Hack* *Wheeze*

There's this abandoned place which is jam-packed full of Disney-style castles somewhere in the northwestern part of Turkey.

The quality is terrible, outside decoration is either styrofoam or glassfiber, and stuff just... falls apart. And they were supposed to be expensive high-luxury getaways too.

That's like over 500 half-finished buildings littering the landscape, it's just surreal. This video was a pretty cool watch.

Whelp, decided to fork out for my own Netflix account since I didn't get my own profile on the shared family account. :P Got mighty tired of resetting watch lists and all that.
I guess that's a small price to pay for having my whole own profile (and not to depend on stubborn family members).

If you paint a donkey with zebra's colors, will it become a zebra or still remains a donkey?
