Endorphins. Just yesterday I did 1 km @ VO2 Max running repeats, and about 800m in I started feeling real good. Even my heart rate was slowing. I ended up overshooting the distance a little, and doing an extra interval; it felt so good.

Older ones, but Might & Magic 6 through 8 had amazing soundtracks. Especially the sixth one. I sometimes listen to them as a background music when working.

That's what I'm doing. Of course, it's easier with an apple when I clean it anyway, rather than a banana where all I have is hands and teeth.

I usually shop at Aldi, and their brand comes in plastic bags, with no stickers on the fruit. Still not ideal, but at least it's easily separable.

My rubbish company told me not to throw them into the compost bin; that it's better to put your peel onto regular rubbish if you can't get them off.

Funny enough, in some countries the Christmas presents are delivered by baby Jesus, and not Santa Claus.

Cthulhu. There is only one way to properly cleanse this world.

This rule is legacy from Reddit, where r/news got dominated by US-centric news. r/worldnews was created to allow non-US news to be seen.

That said, I agree that this is a world news event. If nothing else, this may distract the Trump administration from international bullying for a while. Perhaps even redirect the Venezuelan invasion force to the NYC harbour...

In 2013, I posted on Facebook, urging my Czech friends not to vote for the eventual winner of their Presidential election, Milos Zeman. I called him and inept drunkard, and compared to him to the then Slovak President, Ivan Gasparovic. The next day, the Slovak police paid a visit to my parents (I've been living abroad by then), and offered not to create problems for them if I deleted the post, because Mr. Gasparovic was offended by being compared to Mr. Zeman. As soon as my parents called me, I dropped everything and deleted the post.

This was in a presumably democratic member of the European Union, and I didn't even think twice. I'd probably self-censor if I lived in a dictatorship. Sorry; I'm no hero type. I do have my opinions and express them when able, and don't when it would cause problems for me or my family. I think I'm just an average person.

This is also the reason why Metamucil doesn't sell in Europe. Seriously: just looking at the left picture gives me constipation.

(I understand that the pic is a joke, but anyone who has a coffee and a fag after breakfast can attest to their wonderful laxative powers.)

The ending of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge. It pisses me off to this day.

 

Waiting for 30 minutes to access the Web site of the Road Safety Authority, the Irish equivalent of the DMV. Too bad they don't have physical offices where I could queue personally...
