  • When I don’t feel like proper cooking but want a half-decent(-ish) meal:

    I begin frying sausages in a pan. As they’re frying, I chop them up with the egg flip. Before they get actually cooked, I throw on a tin of tomatoes. Then I add basil, salt, pepper, curry powder… whatever’s available and fits the mood. When the sausages are cooked (basically braised), I throw it onto a plate and eat it. Very quick and easy, fairly healthy (you can tweak it to make it healthier if that’s your thing), and (when I get it right) tasty.


  • I’m not computer/app savvy (in case you haven’t noticed haha) so I don’t really know how to get across what I would recommend. All I know is that app development is harder than it looks, and developers put a lot of work into these things with little gratitude. So I don’t want to nag. Though I am happy to hear changes are coming, especially the UI. If I can figure out how to say what I want in an app, I’ll let you know! 👍


















  • I met a fundamentalist Christian a few years ago, who just came back from overseas. She flew Air Emirates, an openly Muslim airline. She recounted with a malicious smugness how she replaced the Qurans in the seats with bibles. I asked her what good she thought that would do - did she think such a disrespeful act, done with malice, would encourage them to invite Jesus to their bosom. She frowned heavily and said nothing. I asked why even use an airline you have so much hatred for, why not use a good, clean-living, Christian™ airline? She squirmed and mumbled something about Air Emirates being the cheapest. I asked her if someone replaced her bible with a Quran on a plane, would she be receptive to the message of the Quran, or would she just be offended that someone is being malicious towards her holy book of choice. She looked like she was going to cry, and walked away.

    I have a feeling airlines don’t really care either.


  • I’m not in the USA but this trend is also happening in other countries. I guess USA feels it more because of the already punitive health system.

    I’ve been thinking in recent times about pharmacies. 20 odd years ago, pharmacies used to deal with things too severe to put off, maybe not severe enough to see a doctor for. Now pharmacies are about “wellness” which is marketing crap to make more money. Middle aged woman feeling unwell? Cut your hair short and dye it 3 different colours. You’ll look young and feel young! But they’re still unwell and still have sore joints etc. Pretty depressing to think about.
