I used to spray my kitchen tops and scrub like a madman only for nothing to happen. It was about as effective as water.

There was a minor improvement when I bought Mr Muscle degreaser but still not great.

Then I bought this cheap, Asda shit and leaving the spray on for 5 mins - boom!

It wipes clean, with the sponge!!

How has taken 40 fucking years for a decent kitchen surface cleaner too be made?

I've used Flash and the other ones with kitchens on the front but this non-descript bottle of bleach water is by far the best I've ever used.

 
 

I was inspired by the raw beauty of the famous renaissance photo. Do you recognise which?

When you remember where the buttons are they're fine to navigate. The average keyboard that meant people can type on without looking has less physical feedback (2 small bumps on f and h).

Brother are good but I got a Kyocera about 6yrs ago and have never had to change the toner. I've been through about 2 blocks of paper in that time. Prints great.

A serving is 40g. That was about 2 tablespoons so I put more in.

So this is a double serving.

Holy fucking shit balls. I contemplated seeing up an instance on a £5 VPS. Hmmmm, I think my scale is a bit off.

It worked! Cool pictures. A great Lemmy client I'd recommend is Boost for Lemmy. It's got by far the nicest UI and the dev has their own community where they post updates.

Hope you stick around. ☺️

I like that pic! Reminds me of the first on that German show (Dark?}.

Hipster language? It's a lot more popular than you suggest.

Java is a fucking awful language.

 

A while back there was a post about having an itchy ear.

Well I've been vigorously cleaning my ear after a shower in case it was ear wax build-up.

After doing that Sunday I've been getting blood on the tissue paper. GP said I've perforated my ear drum and I've been prescribed antibiotics.

Bugger.

If your ear itches - get steroid ear drops. I've now got to shower with cotton wool & vaseline in my ear to keep it dry.

Dry and itchy, until it heals.

I'm 40. I'm too old to be this stupid. :(

It's a concept in Japanese martial arts that I read in a book by Takuan Soho.

Wiki:

Fudōshin (Japanese: 不動心) is a state of equanimity or imperturbability (literally and metaphorically, "immovable mind",[1] "immovable heart"[2] or "unmoving heart"). It is a philosophical or mental dimension to Japanese martial arts which contributes to the effectiveness of the advanced practitioner.

I was training in Jujutsu and kenjutsu at the time and the concept clicked. I know it sounds very 'weeb' but it was an epiphany and quite profound for me at the time.

There's a Shingon Buddhist deity that encapsulates the concept too and he holds a sword to cut through ignorance and delusion.

There're some related concepts like Mushin that come together with marital arts.

Friendship and happy-ha-ha it's strictly prohibited!

I've got a friend from Shenzhen who thinks Xi is the worst thing since Mao. If I said that to a lemmy.ml user I'd be banned from the instance.

Hell, I got suspended for 4 days (and trolled to fuck) when I suggested someone was a tankie (literally a communist who believes in using tanks to kill people).

Silly thing is I'm a fucking socialist! I believe in all the key tenets of socialism. But heaven forbid you criticise DPRK or China. They'll chew you apart.

There's plenty of fucking countries where from socialism has worked and there's plenty where some level of socialism currently works.

I mentioned the Nordic Model and instead of them agreeing it was a good step they spent their time 'educating' me on how it's not true socialism and it's just as bad as the US.

Fucking boggles the mind. They genuinely seem to think Stalin was a saint and Kim is a benevolent, democratically elected leader. If anyone thinks otherwise it's due to Western propaganda.

I know people living in China - they ain't fucking happy!

Sounds like the average lemmy.ml user. Very quick to criticise the west. Completely 'objective' when discussing China.

 
 
 

What songs are currently playing on repeat in your head?

I've been having this Japanese-language song to a famous anime playing in my head so much it woke me up at 3:50am this morning. I'm not mad - angry - I love the song but it's less than optimal!

What's yours? Maybe sharing it will stop it!

I read the book 20yrs ago and it is THE best book I've ever read. Absolutely stunning story and characters. My dad almost chose to give me the name of the main character (Toranaga) which for an English person would have been a bit silly.

But anyway - I was so excited by the book I read the last page. It basically summed up what I thought would be the climax of the story in a single paragraph.

"Oh shit" - I thought. "Then WTF is the book about?!".

Oooooooohh let me tell you: It's a classic case of "the journey is better than the destination" - i.e. fucking incredible!

Produced and starring Hiroyuki Sanada (Last samurai, Wolverine, Twilight Samurai, etc).

This turned me into a weeaboo that at 21 jumped off my bed swishing an imaginary katana like a nutter.

WATCH IT! Out 27th of February!

It's loosely based on John Blackthorne the English sailor of a ship that wrecked in Japan. AKA: Anjin-san (Mr Pilot)

Reviews so far look epic: https://screenrant.com/shogun-show-reviews-reactions-fx/

 

And I'm happy as a pig in shit. It's only a Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro 5G but it's all mine and the screen doesn't die after 10 seconds of use due to water damage!!!

You can bet I've already installed 3 meme apps before giving up and just posting this image collage.

I don't have much good in my life so I'll take this win and hug it to death! 😍

Love you all! ❤️😘🏳️‍🌈

 

Just wondered. I cant sleep and I'm bored.

 

Whenever I did meth and started pissing dark red pee my eyes would become so bad at focusing I needed strong reading glasses to read my monitor.

I heard eyeballs are full of liquid and it made me wonder - are my eyes being canalised for water due to the meth induced dehydration?

P.S. I mention meth because there's a big difference in severity between normal dehydration - which is bad - and meth-induced which is 10xTERRIBLE but less easily spotted.
