A cool guide to the White House's floor plan
  • The government doesn't want you to know that but actually the Queen didn't die, she just decided it's finally time to retire and moved where she figured no one would look for her. After the unpaid intern accidentally leaked the information - hence the rooms name on the map - that fact is still denied, which just makes it more suspicious.

  • Sweater curse
  • It's totally a thing! I never believed in it until I started a huge blanket in celebration of our anniversary but never got to finish it.

    Haven't heard of it outside of the internet tbh. Also, I feel like it's more a running gag than an actual belief. We can probably all agree that a breakup happening every 100 sweaters or so is not exactly a curse.

  • Europeans, do you take the train to travel to other countries?
  • As I'm living in the north of Germany I could probably easily go to Denmark and Sweden, haven't tried that yet though. Been to Prague by train once, which was okay, as there was a direct connection by EC.

    Actually I'm planning to go to Austria this summer, so I've recently looked it up. Plane tickets are more then twice as expensive compared to train for my route. The train takes 11-12 hours (depending on connection) though, which is absolute max for me. So yeah, wouldn't go further than that. (Still looked up a connection to Croatia, that would've been an absolute pain in the a** by train...)

  • Experience with Lammy Soft Sensation (or similar animalless mohair alternatives)?

    So I want to knit up an all-over lace top, which is originally made with two strands of Lang Yarns Mohair Luxe. I've been searching for non-animal alternatives for quite a while now. My best bet might be Lammy Soft Sensation, but as it's rather cheap I'm afraid it might also look and feel cheap. Does anyone have experience with it? The reviews I can find online are rather scarce.

    Also been looking into Alize Cotton Gold and Hobbii Amigo. They're not exactly mohair-y but might provide a little fluff and, more importantly, softness.

    What do you think? Are there better options? TIA!

  • In meiner Altersgruppe habe ich letztens auch ein "Die GrĂŒnen haben sich echt unwĂ€hlbar gemacht!", gehört. Eine BegrĂŒndung gab es nicht, nur Rumgedruckse gefolgt von Gezeter. Hab das GefĂŒhl, dass eine hohe EmotionalitĂ€t im politischen Diskurs mehr und mehr zum Problem wird.

  • Wie waren auch noch vor 19 fertig. Kann mir aber gut vorstellen, dass es bei mehreren WĂ€hlen gleichzeitig und/oder wenn Zweitstimmen o.Ă€. hinzukommen aufwĂ€ndiger und stressiger wird.

    utopia.de ProVeg-Ranking: Diese Restaurantketten haben das beste vegane Angebot

    ProVeg vergleicht jĂ€hrlich das vegane Angebot von großen Restaurantketten. Im vergangenen Jahr belegte Hans im GlĂŒck den Spitzenplatz. Doch nun gibt es eine neue Nummer eins.

    ProVeg-Ranking: Diese Restaurantketten haben das beste vegane Angebot

    Grade diesen Artikel gefunden, in dem das Proveg-Ranking zu veganen Angeboten in Restaurant-/Fastfoodketten behandelt wird. Bei L'Osteria und Cotidiano esse ich gerne, der Rest ist nicht so mein Fall oder schlichtweg nicht vorhanden. Wie schaut's bei euch aus?

    Hat den schonmal jemand erfolgreich probiert?

    Hab diesen Pudding letztens im Supermarkt gesehen und wollte ihn gestern Abend zum Nachtisch probieren. Mit der No Muuh Milch von Rewe wurde aber mehr eine etwas dickflĂŒssige Karamellsuppe draus. Hat jemand andere Erfahrungen gemacht?

    "Neues" Design oder hat der Praktikant das falsche Druckformat ausgewÀhlt?

    Grade beim Einkaufen entdeckt: Klassische Oatly Barista steht neben Oatly Barista, auf der das Etikett nur in halber GrĂ¶ĂŸe aufgedruckt ist.

    [Baby+Toddler] Made these miniature socks two years ago as a Christmas present

    They're really just socks for adults but in oh so tiny. The little man's favorite color was green at the time and he still always took off his socks off everwhere. But not these babies! They were his favorite as long as they fit. They're made from acrylic iirc.

    The postdrome is real

    After going through hell the last 7 days I finally feel better! Yay! No more excruciating pain for at least a couple of days!

    But one of the worst parts has only just begun. Worse not because I feel any more shitty than during the pain, but because no one who hasn't experienced it first hand understands it.

    Everyone's like "Oh you're not in pain anymore? Then you can go back to work, right?" And some part of me, the blissfully ignorant past-me probably, thinks the same. It blames me for being lazy and work-shy.

    But I can't go back just yet. I'm physically not able to. I'm glad I even got out of bed today, not letting the depression and anxiety devour me. I may be not in pain anymore, but I don't feel any less shitty. Not yet.

    I need some rest.

    Which cgrp pen are you using and why did you settle for this specific one?

    Hey guys, we're defederated! Woohoo! I don't know if posts made during this episode gate posted, so I post again:

    Yesterday my neurologist and I agreed on trying cgrp injections to tackle my chronic migraine. Now I need to decide which one to try. But looking at the facts and numbers the differences are marginal. So I'm looking for some first hand experiences! TIA!

    Just lost my latest round of yarn chicken

    Wanted to knit a summer stop with some spare yarn. It's still missing some fabric at the decollete and I've just run out of yarn. Tried to substitute with a different yarn (the light one at the very top) but it's not quite working. Guess it's frogging time! 🐾

    Vent: Unable to get a sick note because of migraine

    Hey beautiful people, need to vent a bit. Figured you might understand + we need a bit activity. (Just hope it's not entirely dead.)

    I'm currently at hour 28 of my most recent attack. As a chronic sufferer I'm in pain more or less all the time, so I'm calling the really severe ones "attacks". So it's been 28 hours and the triptanes aren't working anymore. I'm so exhausted and tired by now and my head's not working properly. Migraine makes me stupid. I didn't even manage to call in sick today. I'm just lying around doing literally nothing, focused on not dying.

    Now the major problem is I need to go to a doc to get a sick note, otherwise my hours for yesterday and today are lost and I'd need to work overtime next week. But how am I supposed to physically get there? I'm inable to get myself a freaking glass of water, but driving through the whole city and then sitting in a crowded room for hours full of sick people coughing and talking while the light flickers, only to get "headache? Oh that sucks. You better stay home" by the doc is fine? Does that even follow any logic?

    So yeah I guess I'm just taking the hours. Even though I lost my last job because of this specific reason. Migraine sucks.

    Thanks for coming to my vent or something and have a great day for me!

    Eizellenspende ist in Deutschland illegal

    Inhaltswarnung: Es geht um Unfruchtbarkeit, Eizellenspende (offensichtlich) und Adoption. Ich weiß nicht, ob dieser Text Leuten zu nahe gehen kann, aber da ich persönlich (noch) nicht betroffen bin, bin ich da lieber vorsichtig.

    Hallo Freunde, ich habe grade, paradoxer Weise durch den Tatort, gelernt, dass Eizellenspende in Deutschland illegal ist?

    Das ganze wird dadurch begrĂŒndet, dass Kinder dann "zwei" MĂŒtter hĂ€tten, die Genetische und die GebĂ€rende. Diese EinschĂ€tzung wurde schon lange widerlegt und zwischendurch hat der EuropĂ€ische Gerichtshof fĂŒr Menschenrechte geurteilt, dass das ganze eine Ungleichbehandlung der Geschlechter darstellt.

    Denn Samenspende ist erlaubt. Hier gibt es scheinbar keinen Konflikt a la "wer ist mein Vater". Denn Vaterschaft ist ja scheinbar was ganz anderes. Leider hat der EGMR dieses Urteil revidiert, denn das Ganze stellt scheinbar keine HĂŒrde in der Familienplanung dar. Dabei ist ja die ursprĂŒngliche BegrĂŒndung der zwei MĂŒtter bei der Alternative Adoption viel offensichtlicher und fĂŒr das Kind prĂ€senter. Was die ganze Argumentation ja eigentlich hinfĂ€llig macht.

    Ich kriege das GefĂŒhl, dass mĂ€nnliche Unfruchtbarkeit hier die NormalitĂ€t ist. Samenspende ist halt wirklich kein Problem in Deutschland. Damit kann der Vater dann "echte" Vaterschaft erfahren, ohne dafĂŒr tatsĂ€chlich in der Lage zu sein. Aber weibliche Unfruchtbarkeit wird heruntergespielt und zu einem Mysterium degradiert. Warum darf ich nicht "echte" Mutter sein, mit Schwangerschaft und allem drum und dran, wenn es sich herausstellen sollte, dass ich unfruchtbar bin? Warum messem wir hier mit zweierlei Maß? Klar kann mit Adoption eine richtige Mutter sein, aber warum so vielen Frauen diese so persönliche Entscheidung nehmen, wenn es doch möglich ist?

    Collapsing comments not possible anymore?

    Not sure if it's something in my settings, a bug or the feature was removed, but I can't seem to collapse comments anymore. That's a bummer. Anyone else having this problem or more info on it?

    Edit: So in different comment thread it suddenly worked again. Guess it's a bug.
