My local pizza place (in Japan) puts corn on pineapple pizza.

I might be a degenerate that enjoys pineapple on pizza, but corn is a strong no

I feel the same about my apartment door (my apartment was built in the 1970s), it has a mailbox attached to the inside of it and there is a slot in the door to put mail in it from the outside, it gets rarely used since most of the mail is delivered to the newer mailboxes installed by the stairs on the first floor, but If I'm not home, the delivery driver usually drops the slip in there.

However, below the mailbox is another, smaller, door that is intended specifically for newspapers. I tried to open it out of curiosity, but the latch was quite stiff and was painted over at some point, so probably the previous tenant also didn't use it. That means that small door has probably been closed for at least a decade, if not more, and probably will remain closed forever.

Yeah, it's the floaty feeling, I think that I had installed them, but IIRC you had to configure them by editing a config file and I couldn't get it to work just right

I guess the Manjaro partition on my dual-boot laptop will finally be woken up for the first time in months

Side note: Anyone got advice on how to make my Synaptics touchpad work the same as it does on windows? That's like my number 1 pet peve whenever I try Linux on my laptop

Sudoku is my go-to for boring time on the airplane

And not everyone who speaks it as their 2nd or 3rd language makes that mistake

Also, I'd say that odds also favour places that nobody really gives a shit about, like sure, US, UK, China, Russia, large parts of Europe, and North Korea are probably guaranteed to be nuclear craters, but I doubt that any of the missiles are pointed at Africa or most of South America

Because as long as the Russian state exists and can point to their "history" as an empire and use it as an excuse to take over their neighboring countries (like Latvia, the place where I'm from), I won't be satisfied.

Unfortunately nobody is bombing Moscow yet, so anything that isolates and makes the population more angry and can hopefully topple the government is a good thing in my book

RS50 is such a fun bike, and I know the pain with the carb, I have to ride mine uphill, also, just replaced the 12mm flat slide carb with a 17.5mm round slide, runs quite nice

That's why I kinda like my carburated 2-stroke motorcycle.

Needs just 3 wires from the engine to work and 1 to shut it off. Weighs just around 100kg and will propel me to 90km/h with just a 50cc cylinder.

Not to mention the smoke, sound, and the narrow powerband, just love that feeling.

Yeah, idk what that guy is about, few months ago the outside temp was like 32°C and, because my apartment has crap insulation, the inside temp was either equal or higher. That was not fun and didn't help with going outside at all.

I would guess that it's either them noticing that they are wasting time or saying that you also are a "tea merchant" means that you are also doing the same scam and there is no point in 2 scammers wasting time talking to each other
