Hello there!
Welcome to our daily scheduled post, the Daily Slow Chat.
If you want to just chat about your day, if you have questions for the moderators (please mark these [Mod] so we can find them), or if you just want talk about oatmeal then this is the thread for you!
Enjoying the small talk? We have a Discord server too! We'd love to have more of you over there. Do both of us a favour and use this link to join the fun.
The mod-team wishes you a nice day!

Quote of the day: “No manufacturer makes second hand electric cars, meaning someone will have to buy new electric cars to get things going”. Finland’s car population averages something like 13 years of age, and few choose to buy new, meaning EV’s are taking over quite slowly.
I have a job talk tomorrow.
Do I need this job? Not really, not necessarily.
Do I want it? Hell yeah.
I have to give a lecture in German so that they see how well I give lectures or something. It is for first year baby students. I already gave a trial one for my husband, but I need to fix some bits and blobs and it should be good to go…. Or not? *screams into pillow*
Why am I doing this to myself 😫🙈
After the Kazakh boy’s figure skating victory, I have been thinking again about going to visit Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan (tf is this word??). Chinghiz Aitmatov is one of my favorite authors, and I grew up reading about Central Asian steppes and the lives of people (mostly during Soviet times). I have never been to a country where other Turkic people live. I know we have some words in common, and some folk dances are similar… but other than that, what do they eat? How do they speak? How do they live? I am quite curious, actually. Maybe lucapal1 has been there. My paternal grandma was Turkmen, and I kind of have a bit of the look, high cheekbones etc. Maybe I will find some long lost sense of belonging or something.
Cant wait for summer. We have had endless winter here and it is starting to affect my moods :(. Any other plants disguised as people here who need sunlight to function 😅?
Hello everyone! How’s everyone? I’m currently going through computer courses. Other than that, I’m gonna participate in a practice through my university’s faculty, which also pays you.
I’ve had Spoonful of Sugar from Mary Poppins stuck in my head for the past couple of days. It has been noted before that parts of it have striking similarities to parts of Imperial March from Star Wars. And over the past few days the Spoonful of Sugar playing in my head has been slowly turning into more and more like Imperial March.
I haven’t even seen Mary Poppins, but I’m starting to imagine Julie Andrews in a Darth Vader costume fighting Obi-Wan with an umbrella.
What are you looking forward to?
I always feel that January, February and March are the longest months, because there really aren’t much to look forward to!
