But god forbid if you actually want to make money from your art; the way things are going, it's getting near impossible.

The point is that All Hallows Eve is a Christian holiday, and that it isn't comparable to Halloween in any way, because the "let's dress up in costumes and eat way too much candy while watching scary movies" holiday and the "let's go to the cemetery to put candles on Grandpa's grave and honor our ancestors" holiday play very, very different roles. And guess what? Observing one doesn't mean you have to completely discard the other.

  1. I wouldn't exactly describe that as "fun" or something that cheers me up.
  2. not everyone is Christian

Also fictional spaceships tend to have a whole crew instead of 1-5 people.

A touch screen interface in a car is a TERRIBLE idea. Yeah a passenger could do it but only if there is a passenger in the car in the first place.

I really dread the possibility that these people will eventually become engineers, doctors, achitects, and so on. The exams exist for a reason.

Yeah I kinda figured out it'd have been that.

Good, you can do mine.

It's still forcing people to wear something they don't want.

Yep. They also seem to completely ignore neurodiverse people; I don't know what I'd have done if my school had uniforms.

Halloween is fun and I'm glad it has arrived here. The commercalisation of it is another subject for another post, but the concept of kids dressing up and asking for candy is great. Besides, with the nights getting longer and the days ending way earlier than they should, an Autumn holiday is very nice.

 

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?
