I think I have given up on finding good chips in the Netherlands, other than at import stores. They keep discontinuing the actually good stuff. (RIP, my beloved chilli and lime chips.)

New snack that actually has good flavours that aren't tomato-based bleh, plain salt, or paprika: kroepoek.

What's everyone's favourite song to make up silly lyrics to?

The one that I keep going back to is What's Up?, by 4 Non Blondes. Often cat related, when my cats are doing silly things.

Why do things take so long? Anyway, here it is, my first zine from my research - written for Australians, but still relevant for others on the planet. CLIMATE CHANGE, why we are especially fucked. Same deal as the Pete zine, the digital version is pay what you want.

SeaFury explains why Australia and it's neighbours are especially fucked. You get stickers! And you get a call to action.This is a part of a series of zines from the research desk of SeaFury: mixing climate change and building physics with personal *opinions*. Read at your own risk. #climateChange #zine

A zine that has a visual of the earth with Australia circled. The title is climate change why we are especially fucked.On of the spreads in the zine that has two stickers in it.

In popular culture, menopause is typically associated with hot flushes. In our Menopause: What's Changed? exhibition, we invite visitors to drop a pebble if they experience any of these symptoms. And it turns out, hot flushes are much less common than brain fog or mood symptoms!

A museum display with showing symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. Beneath each symptom is a jar containing pebbles. 

Hot flushes or night sweats: about 25% full
Vaginal dryness: about 20% full
Sleep disturbance: about 35% full
Brain fog: About 80% full
Mood changes: about 75% full
Dental problems: About 15% full
Changes to sex drive: about 50% full
Aches and pains: About 40% full
Recurrent UTIs: About 30% full
Indigestion: About 30% full

@yassie_j the one piece of art involving him that I will still read and enjoy is Diana Wynne Jones's Deep Secret. She based the character Nick on him. I always wondered why he was such a very grey character and why so much emphasis was made on him needing to fight himself and his upbringing (manipulation) and choose the right thing, but I suspect now that much more of that character was based on Neil than just the breakfast habits she publicly stated were one-to-one him. But the book on the whole is excellent, and not written by him - just a character that was inspired by him, and lives on as its own identity.

...the one thing I'm sad about is Stardust. I liked Stardust. I don't know what to do about Stardust.

@literalgrill I am not going to elaborate because it probably doesn't need elaborating, but any analysis of "isekai" that doesn't look at the many, many anime/manga written about crossing between worlds or being stuck in a different world before the main character was consistently a young conventional everyman dude will set me off on a very long rant that several people have already been on the end of :a2bcute:

And 'cause people here run very not-Microsoft.... JScript != JavaScript.

It is a little too hellish to explain easily. New things do not use JScript.
