That's the good shit.

In Finnish, "sinä" is singular "you" and "te" is plural "you". (sinä also has tons of variations in spoken language, including but not limited to: sä, sää, sie) Te is traditionally used as formal address both for authority and peers, but pretty rare nowadays. Nobody really uses it or any other formal address terms anymore, outside of certain very formal contexts, except reporters in interviews for some reason.

No, because who gets addressed as you and who gets addressed as thou, was dependent not on the social standing of the one being addressed, but the social standing of the speaker compared to the one they're speaking to. To put it more simply, in a given situation, the "dominant" party is addressed as you by the "subservient" party, while the subservient party is addressed as thou by the dominant party.

So, for example, in conversation A peasant and their lord are talking. The peasant would address their lord as you, and the lord would address their subject, the peasant, as thou. But in conversation B when the lord is talking with their own liege, let's say, the king, the lord addresses the king as you and the king would address his vassal, the lord, as thou.

In conversation A, the lord is the dominant party, and thus is to be addressed as you by the subservient party. In conversation B however, the lord is the subservient party, and thus is to be addressed as thou by the dominant party.

So, getting back to the commandments, since in an interaction between God and a human the human always is the subservient party while God is always the dominant party, God would address the human as thou.

He couldn't have phoned anyone! The phone line was out!

And also he couldn't have called anyone, the phone line was out.

OHH it's a guide for petting not butchering

Really depends on what they're into in general, but if they show interest in coding, I'd recommend Scratch. It's a coding platform made (primarily) for kids, I got really into it once, and still tinker with it sometimes. I'd say that Scratch is easy to learn, hard to master, and fun.

A true heirloom meme.

 

So, I assume that if you put 100 people on a spaceship and sent them to wherever, they'd get very inbred in a few generations. How many people would you need for this to not happen, accounting for the fact that there will eventually be people who are infertile or die before having children?

stupid site wants to make me use a link instead of an image >:(

 

So, my granola recipe calls for 1 dl honey, but I was dumb and forgot to get it. I have a little bit of honey left, but not nearly enough. Can I use syrup instead? The granola will be baked at 150 degrees C.

I need answers quick!

 

What I mean is, what do people buy organs for? Transplants? Eating? Some other fucked up purpose I didn't think of?

From what I know, buying human organs is a tad bit too expensive and risky to do just for shits and giggles.

 

I've noticed that recently this community has had a lot of posts that have general, useful but not extremely important advice, like a lot of cooking stuff and such (I won't name any names but I think you all know what I mean), as opposed to what this community posted a while ago: very crucial information.

Any thoughts on this?

Southern Finland. I've found these and some more bluish ones. They are fairly small (the flower itself is about 4-6cm) and have these long, pretty thick leaves. It isn't visible in the photos, but the petals have this glittery look on them. Here's one of the blue ones, in a vase:

I've mostly seen them near yards or gardens, so I think they aren't native.

And before anyone makes a cheeky "what do you need this for 🤨" comment, I'm a writer. I'm not going to murder anyone I promise, I just want to write a scene where one guy gets poisoned.

I need something that doesn't require modern technology to extract/produce, and would make sense to be avaible in a place with a temperate to mediterranean climate. The slower, the better. Does a plant or something like that exist or do I need to make one up?

Update: I looked into death cap mushrooms and they might be just what I'm looking for! Long reaction time, and being dried doesn't make them less toxic! (the scene takes place in midwinter so no fresh ones would be avaible) If anyone has more info on them, please do share.

 

Is it gas? What material is fire? Why does fire exist?
