One of my cousins used to have a dog that she had named Pavlov. :-)

As a long distance runner: briefs on training days. Otherwise boxers.

As for the ‘No racism’ part, skip the Netherlands. One of the current governing parties is openly racist and can even be considered fascist. Also, we have a huge housing crisis, so finding a place to live may be challenging.

Try this: slice a lemon in half. Put it in a heat-resistant bowl. Place bowl into airfryer and set at 200 Celsius for 20 minutes. It’ll probably smoke, so make sure to ventilate well.

After that, you may be able to wipe most of the grease away with a cloth.

I chuckled. Upvoted

Good luck!

Missed my Thursday run as I visited my father in the hospital (fortunately nothing serious) and had to drive my mother around as she cannot drive anymore. Today, I slipped in the mud in the middle of a swamp area. Bad idea, but I got away with only minor discomfort.

I bought new shoes. That’s not particularly special, but these are the first neutral shoes since I started running, almost 25 years ago. In the past year, my running stance appears to have changed. My antipronation shoes are pretty much written off by now, but the heel part of the sole is still relatively intact. In other words, I have changed to forefoot landing, whereas I used to land on my midfoot.

Italian style, with tomato sauce, Mozzarella, anchovy, capers and onions.

cups + hplip . The hplip package is probably key.

I have the exact opposite experience. It always prints and although it only prints about 6 pages per minute, it starts immediately. However, I have an old-ish HP laser printer without the crappy adware.

My next printer will not be a HP for that reason.

I am not an ABBA fan, but that song was and is still awesome.

Let’s not forget that the ‘R’ in HR stands for ‘Resources’.

Recruiters.

Planescape: Torment - Bones of the Night

My son would vote for the Witherstorm theme in Minecraft.

…or simply a cold or flu?

Tuxedo OS, as preinstalled on my Tuxedo machine. It is just a heavily tweaked Ubuntu flavor with Plasma as a default desktop and sane defaults (firefox not as a snap, but as a .deb file). Everything worked so well out of the box that I did not see the point in installing Arch. I also love the fact that Plasma is kept very much up to date. In comparison, Kubuntu 24.04 still has Plasma 5., whereas I currently run 6.1.4.

I do not want to support a trillion dollar company that makes it impossible to repair my own stuff.

I respect the fact that people believe. They even can form their own clubs as far as I’m concerned. Forcing those beliefs onto other people is something I do have an issue with.

Netherlands. Thailand and Morocco are even worse I guess. There, you’ll get punished harshly for beinig openly anti-monarchy. I feel sorry for those countries.
