Multiplexer

Apparently these are not the seeds themselves but only the remains of the original ovulums that contained the seed when they still existed.

That surprisingly wasn't that hard, actually.

One side of the family already settled on Threema for communication years ago, the other side I had to first show Signal to and help with installing it, but now they are even using it in other contexts.

And apparently I live in a bubble that is quite open to Signal, so most of the people I know at least use it in parallel to WhatsApp. And for the rest there is still RCS.

The actual hard part are (since I became a parent) all the WhatsApp groups that exist for most kinds of organized child activity, including distributing much of the crucial information regarding school.
Also at my wife's work WhatsApp is standard for coordinating with the colleagues.

For that purposes we use an old customized WhatsApp-only smartphone, that is used by the family like some old-fashioned fixed phone-terminal, only for messaging...

And yeah the furniture size comments I made are definitely not true across the board

No no, I think now they might well mostly be true.
Even the extra high desk I mentioned doesn't cover much groundspace and is about as high as it is wide when fully extended...

That sounds plausible and might be true.

Also I have to say that I am a rather tall guy and the only height-adjustable desk that had a usable maximum height for me e.g. was the one from Ikea.
I think it is definitely not a specific Ikea or Swedish thing or has anything to do with the people being smaller (If anything, I think to remember that typical US citizens are actually smaller on average than most of the people in the northern parts of Europe...)

Are the numbers actually that specific? I like that. We could combine that with the 7 spaceship theory out of one of the other threads. Would make a great basis for some kind of new cult!

such an intense lifestyle, especially harvest time.

Getting up at 6 in the morning, your mum is already cooking the lunch for 15 people to be later packed into insulating casings to be taken with you to the vineyard, dad outside waiting already for you to prepare the trailers hooked up to the tractor, then after 8 hours hard manual work in the 45° angled vineyard processing the grapes with the press, tending the previously pressed juice that already started fermenting, than shoveling nearly a ton of grape remains into a large container and compacting them (for latter distilling the stuff to grappa) then falling into bed at a quarter to 11?
Yeah, somewhat intense...
During other times of the year (especially in winter) on the other hand life was almost meditatively chill.
I really liked that, but it is just incredibly hard to make decent money with it, considering all the work...

And yes, all of our grapes were green (and completely hard) during much of their ripening process, red and white ones alike. They just change colour and become soft and sweet during the last few weeks before harvest.

Ok, so might be different product offering in the US then. Which makes what he said even doubly stupid.
College dorms are not as much of a thing here in Europe and Ikea stuff here is normal sized, just standardized, mostly with that minimalistic Ikea look and easy to assemble by oneself.

Hey, I already hate peanut butter, you don't have to convince me any more! ;-)

there’s no such thing as red grapes that are green because they’re not ripe.

Son of winegrower here:
Actually, there are.
But you wouldn't want to eat them... :-)

I don't even understand that one... So doomsday comes and all you get is a lousy mid-sized stone?

In The Middle Age people were like 4m tall, which is the reason why the entrance gates of castles are so big.

This guy clearly never has been to an actual castle or medieval townhouse and bumped his head on every second door...

And the wind turbine one is so bonkers I can't even imagine someone saying that in a non-joke-context...

I am confused... What is different with the size of IKEA furniture?
