In France it is required by law that any café/restaurant provide you with free water when you ask. They don't have to allow you to sit down and occupy a table if you're not purchasing anything but they have to give you water.

I used to be able to just start a "smooth jazz" or "lo-fi" playlist and the algorithm would do its thing, but now I need to specifically look for "classics" or some such otherwise the slop shows up. I've not yet had this issue with the rest of my musical landscape though as that does default to real bands, but these "background" styles are definitely affected.

Ok but some motherfuckers really do have it different, I've known multiple people that eat/drink/don't exercise as much as anyone and still stay thin. They ain't healthy, but they stay thin most likely from a high resting metabolic rate of calorie burning (in other words, still CICO).

Salad?

I'm also from the land of toilet paper and have to deal with this, but to be honest this is a problem completely solved by bidets...

Didn't even have to type it out you took care of it already.

Sounds like those were the most responsible parents. Friends groups that don't have these end up doing heroin instead.

One of the rare cases where a pickup actually makes sense.

Polo arlequin. Funnily enough some old ones end up looking like this when people replace damaged panels by whatever random colour they find at the junkyard.

You look so happy!

This is called skin to skin and when my kid was born the staff was telling me to do it, supposedly had a bunch of benefits for the baby and it gives them some time to take care of mom. What I can tell you is it felt amazing.

I'm just impressed by how clean that fridge was before they murdered a tiny person in there.

Cute little dictator things.

That's interesting, my general rule for foraging wild unknown things is: don't.

I saw a suggestion to go put a "join Lemmy" banner on there, is it happening?

Guess I'm post-racism because my first thought was "mosquitoes".

Common sense, really...

To me it looks like a bunch of what we call Roman candles bunched up together, they're like tubes that will fire maybe between 10-40 shots depending how big they are (I assume these are the biggest ones they could find and like maybe 10/12 of them together).

You're taking about wow. That's like telling a junkie not to buy their next fix.
