Even if we all agreed it was better, we couldn't implement it on the PlushForums platform. Personally I much prefer the flat structure.

Most interesting.

What are you getting at? Do you suspect that ’ is a tiny glimpse of the language of the universe?

I suppose you've got a bad epub conversion, one that couldn't deal with curly quotes.

A poignant moment

I might do that too, when I finally make it down under.

Incidentally, there is no sorites paradox with figs. Two figs: no heap; three figs: heap.

You’ve shamed me yet again ND. I just got a glass from the bar and forgot to ask. I’ll find out for you tonight. This region of Turkey does produce wi...

A few days ago I went to the cheesemonger in Edinburgh but couldn't finish the cheese so I brought it to Turkey. Then yesterday afternoon, when purcha...

I can't deny that cod is a bigger fish on average, giving it more of a chunk in the mouth.

The taste and smell, primarily. How can you tell the difference between a lemon and a lime? Difficult to describe but clear to the senses.

Yes, and some of those Tuscan migrants ended up doing both.

I find they don’t respond to that kind of language in Stonehaven. The Fife coast is another good place for a fish supper. Tell me, do you know why mos...

As you might know, in Edinburgh and possibly more widely up and down the east coast of Scotland, they’ll ask you “salt and sauce?” The sauce they refe...

Again, controversial.

It's funny how there are so many world famous Internet personalities who have completely escaped my attention. How often do you visit the Katz deli?

You only have to Google it ND. A chip shop is where you get a fish supper/fish and chips, mainly to take away ("to go") but some have tables. Other de...

Exactly!

Fish and chips is called a fish supper in Scotland, where haddock is used, not cod. Haddock tastes a lot better in my opinion. But I've seen "fish and...

Did you improvise with the spice mix? What have I been eating, I hear you all ask? I've been in Turkey, and Scotland, and now Turkey again. I've had g...

Correct. I will say that he didn’t mention anything specific to me.

Wayfarer decided to leave TPF. He's done it before of course, but this time he seems more serious.

Welcome! The Lounge is an okay place for an introduction but it's not as active as the main forum so you might not get many responses. Don't conclude ...

:up:

I'll ask him to tone it down. Otherwise he's a good mod.

Despite my initial post here, it wasn't really the aggression that got him banned, more so the response to my very polite request. He was trouble. Xtr...

Thank you for alerting me to that problem :up:

Don't be shy Yohan. It's a fair question. I wanted to prevent the Salman Rushdie discussion from degenerating into insults like the Ukraine thread did...

Banned @"Adamski" for being aggressive and refusing moderation.

Useful, thanks :up:

I've removed the completely irrelevant personal attacks, because this discussion has been civil for a good four pages and I don't want it to degenerat...

:up:

Cheers! It’s delicious. @"Noble Dust" is the wine expert around here, so maybe he can tell us how to develop our tasting skills.

He has not made any contributions to the philosophy of language that I’m aware of, and note that intentionality in philosophy is not about intentions ...

I was given a 1972 Armagnac for my birthday and I’ve been saving it for a special occasion. Tonight I thought, why wait? It’s not a party drink, and I...

I don’t have any, no. I’m not interested. No. The debate, as I see it, is about what counts as transphobic. I don’t know. I stopped paying attention t...

BTW, posts in the Feedback category are only lightly moderated, if at all, so that folks can have their say.

Yes, I understand. But as I say, it was a distraction from the point of the post. Although, the point still isn’t clear, probably because you’re tryin...

This seems to be the core of the OP. The trouble is that it’s buried in the middle, between the stuff about Peterson and some gesturing towards the ph...

I've been casually reading this discussion and from my point of view this is the post that most clearly solves the problem. :up:

It's a sad fact that your weekend chronicles were more entertaining than mine precisely because of your sufferings and anxieties. That's human nature ...

Also, @"Bitter Crank" seems to get the idea, albeit from an unfamiliar and exotic perspective.

This any better? /uploads/resized/files/l8/tvcy6txi3pfsou8m.jpeg

Interesting. And Google Translate gives me “Chocolate chip”. But no, it was stracciatella di bufala, a cheese. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stracci...

Enough to cover a bottle of wine :up:

Just a quick note to say that Freud himself used das Ich, which means “the I”. Not too far from “self”. It was the translator James Strachey who chose...

Sorry everyone, I haven’t mentioned food here for a while. Here are some highlights from my weekend consumption. On Friday evening I cycled down to Sh...

It's in the category called "The Lounge". Discussions in the Lounge are not shown on the main page. If you didn't post it to the Lounge originally, a ...
