Next we'll learn that Roombas aren't actually robots...

I'm pretty sure there is some northern country that has candied pine cones sold in jars. Like small ones. I have a bottle of alpine pine liqueur (Zirbenlikör) which tastes pretty nice. So this is a maybe, I guess? Well, not the big ones, they might be too crunchy.

There is a tampermonkey script. Not sure if it still works.

Ah, yes, toilet cleaner, thought it was universal, seems to be a European(?) thing.

When buying perfume I pick the unisex ones, because most men's perfume smells like toilet duck. Also I like smelling like flowers or honey and smoked vanilla.

Just plain old regular Mint.

I wrote it here some time ago. Tried Linux Mint with the intention of finally switching from windows on my notebook. Bricked one partition that I forgot I had set to dynamic, Headphone jacks didn't work even after fiddling around with arcane parameters in the cli. If you mainly need the command line to set your system up and stuff doesn't work out of the box people don't have the nerve to switch and learn all that. Love Linux, great on steamdeck, have a couple of Virtual Machines to play around with on my old Poweredge server but it's not ready for me, the average user. That and I've to use windows for my cad work at my job anyways. I'll take the downvotes but you'll have to realize you are tech savvy people who have fun learning all that. Most people don't.

Love lentils! Is that a splash of balsamic vinegar, I see? That takes it from great to amazing.

Oh, that's a hard one. It really depends on what you want to learn. While I can recommend each and every of the smaller Teubner books, they can be quite pricey since the new edition is not as good as the older ones (on the upper shelve). However, the big Teubner "Deutsche Küche" and "Küchenpraxis (lowest shelve) are wonderful too, and you can get them relatively inexpensive on eBay. If I had to choose just one, I'd go with "Küchenpraxis" since it's the most comprehensive for Wares, Produce, Procedures and an assortment of recipes.

Thanks! yes, all recipe books. The old ones are two German late 19th and early 20th century books and the one on the far right is a British cook-/household book from 1807.

I know it's a meme but since I'm proud of my collection, Behold! Photo of my bookcase

I bought my last calculator for school in 2007, I think? Now I've got the hiper calc app which is pretty decent. Ha! Take that, math teacher "you'll never have a calculator in youpocket all the time." Edit: changed date, dang it's been a while...
