You mean more frequently meaning smaller loads, right? At the moment it’s about one 8kg load every 1.5 days, so in winter it’s not long enough to dry. Might try a fan setup in the immediate term though and see how it goes.

I looked at those and figured the additional cost, plus only one load being washed at a time may be a bit annoying… But realistically, I’ll have to see if one load per day is enough. Thanks!

EU based, but thanks for the message either way!

Hard disagree. Tipping should be abolished and restaurants forced to pay a living wage should be the only regulation around tipping.

I have a friend like you whom I love to send into the chasm that is his own mind. The physicist has the attitude needed to deal with these thoughts - does it even matter? Ultimately, until we know our existence is false, we might as well keep on appreciating what we experience, right?

Don’t listen to everyone else, they clearly don’t know your situation and that it is totally different to theirs. It’s a fantastic idea, and can only end in the situation you are hoping for. Please keep us updated on how it goes :)

In case that wasn’t motivating enough for you to try this amazing idea and report back to us (v. important) try these sentences:

• you miss all the shots you don’t take
• would you rather live the rest of your life not knowing?
• if no one took risks, we’d have never crossed the seas

While I understand the sentiment, such action doesn’t match the long term goals of the bloc to unify the continent. Another solution needs to be found to ensure single bad actors cannot hold up actions which severely impact the remaining stakeholders - I have no idea how it could be done though.

The daily mail is not a reliable news source. Your friend should speak to their healthcare specialist for advice on flying if they haven’t already

A man named Michel Thomas created a series of audio lessons to teach a number of languages, including German. He does it in a simulated classroom type of environment where one “student” makes common mistakes and he corrects them, so you get to hear someone else make the mistake first.

He also teaches you the necessary words to enable you to start understanding others speaking he language quickly. I found combining this with Duolingo and the super cheesy Extr@s TV series (once you have the basics) allowed me to go from 0 to speaking to people within 6 weeks and understanding 95% within 6 months.

I learnt Spanish and German from his audiobooks. They are worth the money if you can afford it and/or cannot pirate it.

You have lost your licence to food with #2 there.
