What does high end mean?
Instead of saying "bless you" when someone sneezes, I quite like the alternative: "shut the fuck up".
Indeed. If anything a hedge would rather row around the world.
How is education in science treated/rewarded in other countries?
What countries are front runners in actively seeking out and promoting scientific advancement for the benefit of their economy; or whatever it is that other countries seek to improve through scientific advancement?
Or has the whole world become a close-minded cesspit of greed that only sees education as a way to make a fortune off some of the world's most capable minds whilst simultaneously crushing their spirit and holding them back?
The Bucharest palace looks architecturally appealing to me. Anyone know of any other examples of behemoth's like this?
I can see it being hollowed out and converted into a huge shopping mall at some point.
Onkalo spent nuclear fuel repository in Finland ought to make the list if CERN is allowable.
I get the sentences/particular words thing in my head. Have mentioned it to individuals on occasion but it's only ever been received with dismissal so I thought it was just a personal, unexplainable quirk of mine. You're the first person I've seen referencing it. I can inexplicably become struck by a word or short phrase such as "conjugational recombination" and have it rattle around my head for hours. I can get on with my day but say I'm at work and it's a day with an odd/previously un-ushered phrase stuck in my head, I can get some tasks done as normal then in between tasks my brain is as if it's enjoying some rhythmic/phonetic quality of the phrase as it cycles it repeatedly through my consciousness. It can get old very quickly but I tend to have no control over when it leaves me. Doesn't happen very often thankfully.
Music has been a massive part of my life since I was about 10. I'm always tapping out a rhythm, or have a restless foot/leg. My wife has called me Thumper after the Bambi character for as long as I remember. I don't tend to notice if I have a restless leg at work unless I'm emailing then it's obvious and pretty constant; but at home it's pretty much all the time. Even if it's just a toe doing an occasional stretch or whatever. I try not to "BE Thumper" when I notice it but then I find I'll end up sort of pushing or pulling a foot/leg against something ie my other foot/leg. There's less noticeable movement with that but definitely still something going on.
Are these behaviours ever associated with allistic people? I would have thought the phrases thing to have more in common with tourettes given my experience of it is that of it being involuntary.
Otherwise known as Choffolo.
Before & after. Ingredients labelled within the before photo. Apologies for poor quality 'after' photo. I didn't take the pic with the intention of sharing, it was originally just for my own future reference.
Edit: after photo is in the body once you click on the post.
Edit2: the thyme could have been oregano 🤔.
Store-bought almond pastry. A drizzle of juice from "Fabbri" brand of Italian jarred cherries. A couple/few of the cherries themselves. A tea-spoon of Lindt dark chocolate spread. Roasted pistachios. 👀
My wife and I weren't sure about the species here. Please advise - TIA.

Would appreciate any species identification you can provide for any of these. I would have liked to post four photos as I have split my pics into four groups: flowers, trees, small flowers/weeds, grasses/bushes/shrubs.
Will likely post the other three images over time but I don't want to flood the forum all in one go.
I usually take photos like these when out walking as I like to pay attention to what's happening in different locations/different seasons. These photos are from a recent trip abroad - not used to finding such a variety of colour. My pics are usually of different leaves, buds, catkins and twigs - all browns, reds and greens.
I often wonder whether/what people in days gone by used the local plantlife for. Would like to increase my knowledge on this as a casual project over time. Seemingly unremarkable weeds that we see all the time and fail to consider, might have been sought after commodities in pre-historic, ancient or medieval times.
I think it was when first reading about gruit that I started to look differently upon previously overlooked verges at the side of a road etc. From there the rabbit hole deepens...
This will likely be rather rudimentary for experts and professionals, and the map itself isn't pre-1950 but I recently visited northern Italy and had my interest piqued by Aquileia; which lead me to begin looking for info on trade routes from which Baltic amber was able to reach ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and The Caucasus.
I was aware that Cornish and Breton tin had been used in the Late Bronze Age in the Mediterranean but hadn't really considered the trading of Amber which for which the routes pre-date those for tin.
I find the idea of these ancient trade routes to be wonderfully thought provoking. Romanticising about how cultures like the Únêtice organised themselves and cooperated in order to facilitate trade.
If anyone here has spent any time reading about this trade route I would be grateful to hear of anything you found of interest regarding the settlements, societies, professions and daily lives of the peoples involved in this trade.
