Is that how people from there prefer it spelled?

Yes, especially after certain events that happened in early 2022. Some people don't care but using the Russian spelling might get others offended. Of course I'm not exactly an authority on that, I'm like 1/4th Ukrainian who never set foot there.

That's also a front!

Terry Pratchett comes to mind with the Colour of Magic Discworld book. He describes it as "a bunch of essays" but it all reads like D&D sessions transformed into short stories. You even have ::: spoiler gods playing dice and rolling for the fate of the characters. :::

He gave up playing after a while, unhappy with the game becoming more complicated with further editions though.

"Good morning". Nothing good in me having to wake up at 5:30 and dealing with nincompoops actively trying to poison themselves and their children with Tylenol or whatever.

Poor fishers. Big fossil fuel will destroy their business before they can do it themselves.

Bulgaria has Pernik. A declining polluted mining town near Sofia which is infamous for people wearing (counterfeit) Adidas tracksuits, driving VW Golf, and settling their scores with long pieces of metal. Think Russian gopniks.

That's true as well but you can't store drugs at 35°C. Good ventilation and regular disinfection takes care of the germs.

  • PS2 with a barely working optical drive. Easily fixed by adding a cannibalised HDD from a broken laptop.

  • last week I found a solar powered water fountain pump that we used for a bird bath.

  • Metal tapestry needles to finish my crochet projects

  • A really nice LED lamp that I use for cross stitch and crochet at night.

  • A couple of crochet kits with missing hooks, one of them is missing the buttons too. I have yet to start those.

  • Garden chairs!

A lot more things but these are what I was excited about the most.

I thought that if enough time passed old photos would turn black and white like how they were b&w in the 80s and turned colour in the 90s.

If you were cold then you would catch a cold.

There is a startling amount of people here (most people I know) that believe this. I work in healthcare and we constantly have arguments about the AC in summer for that exact reason. Yeah cold weather can make it easier to catch a cold but it's interesting to see how many people believe that you need to get warm to avoid catching a cold.

Carrots will allow me to see in the dark if I eat enough of them.

Partially true. If you're vitamin A deficient, your night vision worsens and carrots can help with that. But you won't get Minecraft night vision
