I still am confused why it is called soda.

I mean, "popemobile" really doesn't sound like a fancy or formal name for something.

 

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?

Funny how I only realised that airports really were like that until 9/11 about two years ago. I always had dismissed it as typical movie unrealism.

Maybe, but it still doesn't really make sense since he could have called the police after the line was fixed.

But if internet would have gone down, how would he have done that thing where he used gunshot sounds from the TV to scare the burglars away?

If we're thinking about how a 2020s Home Alone would go, I think the easiest and most logical way to give an explanation for why he didn't call or text them (or the other way around) would be that they'd have taken his phone away. It's been a while since I last saw it, but didn't Kevin's mom make him sleep in the attic for causing the pizza incident? If so, it would be probably make sense that she'd have taken his phone away as well.

Who tf holds a phone like that?

He couldn't even say "what the hell" because the very concept of Hell hadn't been invented yet, life must have been tough before curse words.

That's... not how pre-neolithic societies did things.

How are they the product? Okay, apparently some american prisons make you pay for the privilege of being in a cage, but I believe that using 'forced labor' (euphemism for slavery) is their main source of $$$.

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.

 

I got 150€ as a birthday gift and thought that combined with the small amount of money I have, I might just have enough to get an old used laptop. The thing is, I'm not tech savvy and don't know what kind would be a good choice.

I'd want something old enough to have a DVD slot. Other requirements are having space and battery life, though I don't think I can have very high standards on my budget. I'd want something that lasts a long time, not some planned obsolence bs.

Are Thinkpads any good? I have been using one for school and think that a Thinkpad might be okay if it just didn't run Windows. I have been thinking about getting an older Thinkpad and downloading Linux on it, but from what I have heard, Linux seems to be complicated for someone who is not that good with tech. Any thoughts?
