The irony is real! 🤦‍♂️ Everything I buy is wrapped in plastic… but I can’t get a plastic bag to carry it home? 🤔♻️

[ceciliathecabinwitch]

I watched scooby doo and the witch’s ghost for the first time in Years yesterday and even though at this point in my life I don’t remember a lot of the movie very vividly, I Do remember that it influenced my understanding of magic and witchcraft and stuff quite a bit in my childhood, and it was very interesting to look back on it now, so I just wanted to write out a couple of my favorite parts

First of all they delineate between Wiccans and Witches which is interesting but also interesting is that witches are bad guys/evil and Wiccans are good guys

Second it’s the whole “witches are separate from humans” thing where they call normal people mortals and things are strictly hereditary, so like the main guy can only use this witch’s grimoire (I’m not sure if that’s the word they use for it or not because I was kinda half watching) because she (the titular witch) is his ancestor

Third when he reveals that she was a witch and he’s totally a bad guy he refers to himself as a warlock which is one of the only parts of the movie that I vividly remember from childhood and that’s because the line where he says informed my opinion of the whole witch/wizard female/male thing for Years, which was “witch Is female but male is warlock, wizard is gender neutral and everyone else is wrong” (this opinion has obviously changed)

Fourth, and probably my favorite part although it directly goes back to point two, is that when they’re all freaking out because none of them can get rid of this ghost because they’re not Magical, they save the day by having Thorn from the Hex Girls read the spell that banishes the ghost, because it was previously mentioned that she is “1/16 Wiccan” and it Works

Anyway idk but if you’re someone who tries to understand their own thought processes and where they come from I have long believed in rewatching things that you enjoyed in your childhood because you’d be surprised at how much stuff makes you go “huh, is That where that idea comes from?”

Best Combi Boiler Prices in Centre England: Your Ultimate Guide for 2024

Choosing the right combi boiler can be a daunting task, especially with the myriad of options available in the market. If you’re in Centre England and on the hunt for the best combi boiler prices, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about finding the best combi boiler for your home in 2024.

Why Choose a Combi Boiler?

Combi boilers, short for combination boilers, are highly efficient and compact systems that provide both heating and hot water directly from the boiler. Unlike traditional boilers, there’s no need for a separate hot water cylinder or cold water storage tank, making them perfect for homes with limited space.

Benefits of Combi Boilers:

Space Saving: No need for bulky tanks.

Energy Efficient: Provides hot water on demand, reducing energy wastage.

Cost-Effective: Lower installation and maintenance costs compared to traditional systems.

Best Combi Boilers in 2024

When it comes to choosing the best combi boiler in 2024, several brands and models stand out due to their efficiency, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Here are some top contenders:

1. Worcester Bosch Greenstar i Series

Renowned for their reliability and performance, the Worcester Bosch Greenstar i Series continues to be a favourite among homeowners in Centre England. These boilers are not only energy-efficient but also come with a range of smart features, including programmable thermostats and compatibility with smart home systems.

2. Vaillant ecoTEC Plus

The Vaillant ecoTEC Plus is another top choice for 2024. It’s known for its high efficiency and robust build quality. This model also offers excellent control over your heating and hot water, ensuring you only use what you need, thus saving on energy bills.

3. Ideal Logic Max

Ideal Boilers have made a name for themselves with their Logic Max range. These boilers are compact, reliable, and come with a lengthy warranty. They are perfect for smaller homes where space is at a premium but performance is still a priority.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Combi Boiler

Selecting the right combi boiler involves considering several factors to ensure it meets your specific needs. Here are some crucial aspects to keep in mind:

1. Boiler Size and Output

The size and output of the boiler should match the heating and hot water demands of your home. An undersized boiler won’t meet your needs efficiently, while an oversized one could lead to unnecessary energy consumption.

2. Energy Efficiency

Look for boilers with high efficiency ratings. Modern combi boilers come with an ErP rating, and an A-rated boiler is the most efficient, helping you save on energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

3. Installation and Maintenance Costs

Consider the installation costs and the availability of local engineers for regular maintenance. Some brands may offer extended warranties or service packages which can be beneficial in the long run.

4. Smart Controls and Features

Modern combi boilers often come with smart controls that can be integrated with home automation systems. These features provide greater control over your heating, making it easier to manage and optimize energy use.

Finding the Best Combi Boiler Prices in Centre England

Now that you know what to look for, how do you find the best combi boiler prices in Centre England? Here are some tips:

1. Compare Quotes

Get quotes from multiple suppliers and installers. This will give you a better idea of the market rate and help you find the best deal. Don’t forget to check if the quoted price includes installation and VAT.

2. Look for Deals and Discounts

Keep an eye out for seasonal promotions, discounts, or cashback offers from manufacturers and suppliers. These can significantly reduce your overall expenditure.

3. Check Online Reviews

Read online reviews and ratings from other homeowners in Centre England. This can provide insights into the performance and reliability of different boiler models and the quality of service from installers.

4. Consider Financing Options

Some companies offer financing options, allowing you to spread the cost of your new boiler over several months or years. This can be particularly useful if you’re on a tight budget.

Conclusion

Investing in the best combi boiler is crucial for ensuring your home stays warm and your energy bills remain manageable. By considering the factors outlined above and doing thorough research, you can find the best combi boiler prices in Centre England that suit your needs and budget.

So that’s a “no, I do not have a record of the ratio of successes vs. not, and it was a highly biased sample because these are primarily people who already knew me that had either some goodwill stored up to weather harsh critique, or were already ideologically similar to me in general.”

I guess, reflecting on it, it’s impossible to measure the reaction of random people in a crowd who pass by, but highly doubtful you’re saying stuff like ‘you’re a piece of shit’ to strangers or mere acquaintances’ faces and it’s going over well.

Did you say what’s on the patch to these people you’re listing?

If not, if you wouldn’t say it to someone’s face, why is it ok to put it in print? Riddle us that one.

It’s good that you’re doing other things than the patches ofc, but the question was about the phrasing of the patches.

You tried to move the goalposts and make it about the content of the message, implicitly make it sound like “are you saying I’m not allowed to de-normalize harmful practices” and not about the success rate of method or delivery. Good try, but nope.

You also fought off some ghost that was in favor of fast fashion. Dunno who you were thinking of but good job knocking down that mental strawman, I guess?

patches i have made recently!!

second patch’s font is directly based on shein’s font, first one is improvised by me (i’d say freehand but that shit was not freehand i did like 3 sketches before moving to fabric)

feel free to save and directly copy my shit (though i’d also love to see it if you make them :)! )

[probablyasocialecologist]

Saito has made a career of teasing out an eco-theory from the late, unpublished writings of Karl Marx. He earned his doctorate at Humboldt University, in Berlin, and now teaches philosophy at the University of Tokyo. His first book was an English version of his dissertation, titled “Karl Marx’s Ecosocialism” (2017), which tracked Marx’s study of the physical world and communal agricultural practices. (Saito is fluent in Japanese, German, and English.) In a second academic book, “Marx in the Anthropocene” (2022), Saito drew on an expanded repertoire of Marx’s unpublished notebooks to argue for a theory of “degrowth communism.” He gained a following, not only in philosophical circles but among a Japanese public facing the contradictions of tsunamis, billionaires, and same-day shipping. “Slow Down” has sold more than half a million copies in Japan and launched Saito into a rare academic celebrity. He appears regularly on Japanese television and aspires to the public-intellectual status of Thomas Piketty, the French economist who had a surprise hit in his 2013 doorstop, “Capital in the Twenty-first Century.”

The key insight, or provocation, of “Slow Down” is to give the lie to we-can-have-it-all green capitalism. Saito highlights the Netherlands Fallacy, named for that country’s illusory attainment of both high living standards and low levels of pollution—a reality achieved by displacing externalities. It’s foolish to believe that “the Global North has solved its environmental problems simply through technological advancements and economic growth,” Saito writes. What the North actually did was off-load the “negative by-products of economic development—resource extraction, waste disposal, and the like” onto the Global South.

If we’re serious about surviving our planetary crisis, Saito argues, then we must abandon capitalism, with its insatiable appetites. We must reject the ever-upward logic of gross domestic product, or G.D.P. (a combination of government spending, imports and exports, investments, and personal consumption). We will not be saved by a “green” economy of electric cars or geo-engineered skies. Slowing down—to a carbon footprint on the level of Europe and the U.S. in the nineteen-seventies—would mean less work and less clutter, he writes. Our kids may not make it, otherwise.

act 28: Hints

previous

Ever since he spent a week at your place, Sunghoon had been relentless.

At first, you thought he was just being clingy—normal post-separation blues. But after the third, fourth, and fifth time he brought it up, you realized:

He was hinting.

And he was not subtle about it.

⸻

Hint #1 – “Accidental” Forgetfulness

The day after he returned to his place, you found his hoodie still hanging on your chair.

It was the gray oversized one—the one that still smelled like him.

You took a picture of it and sent it to him.

You: Look what I found. You left this behind.

His reply came instantly.

Lolove💕: Oh no, I guess I’ll have to come back to get it.

Lolove💕: Or… I could just leave it there since I’ll probably be staying over again soon.

You rolled your eyes, already knowing where this was going.

You: Are you seriously using this as an excuse to stay over again?

Lolove💕: Is it working? 😉

You: …Maybe.

You swore you could hear his cocky smirk through the phone.

⸻

Hint #2 – The “Logical” Argument

One night, after a long day at uni, you were on a video call with Sunghoon, both of you lying in bed.

He propped himself up on one elbow, his voice casual. Too casual.

“You know,” he started, “if we lived together, we wouldn’t have to take separate cars to uni. We’d save gas, be eco-friendly, and—”

You narrowed your eyes. “Are you trying to convince me to move in by using logic?”

“Hey, I’m just saying,” he defended, his lips twitching into a smirk. “It’s practical. You like practical things, don’t you, LoLove?”

You groaned at the way he dragged out the nickname, knowing it always made you weak.

Shaking your head, you chuckled. “Lolove, you just want an excuse to wake up next to me again.”

“…Maybe.”

—

Hint #3 – The ‘Totally Hypothetical’ Scenario

While having dinner together one night, Sunghoon leaned back in his chair, stretching his arms behind his head.

Then, with a deep, dramatic sigh, he said, “You know, if we lived together, I’d cook for you every night.”

You paused mid-bite and raised an eyebrow. “Oh, really?”

He nodded, looking smug. “Yep. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Five-star meals. I’d spoil you, LoLove.”

You squinted at him. “You barely cooked when you were at my place.”

“That’s because I didn’t want to intimidate you with my chef skills,” he said, lips curling into a smirk.

You snorted. “So now you’re bribing me with food?”

“Is it working?”

“…Maybe.”

He grinned, clearly pleased with your answer.

⸻

Hint #4 – The Sleepy Slip-Up (Again)

One night, he fell asleep on call with you again, just like before.

You stayed on the line, watching the soft rise and fall of his chest, the way his breathing slowed.

Then, in the middle of his half-asleep daze, you heard him mumble something.

“…should just live with me already,” he murmured.

Your heart stopped.

You propped yourself up, staring at the screen. “Lolove?”

Silence.

Just soft breathing.

You bit your lip, feeling your cheeks grow warm.

⸻

Hint #5 – The Direct Approach

The next morning, Sunghoon didn’t even bother hiding it anymore.

Lolove💕: LoLove, let’s just move in together.

You: Excuse me??

Lolove💕: What, I’m tired of missing you.

Lolove💕: I don’t like sleeping alone.

You: Sunghoon…

Lolove💕: Just think about it, okay?

You: Maybe.

Lolove💕: That’s not a no 😏

And judging by the way he kept bringing it up, you had a feeling he wouldn’t stop until that “maybe” turned into a yes.

Welcome to the Hustle & Heart Legacy Challenge! 💼✨ This 8-generation challenge is all about building businesses, taking risks, and leaving a lasting dynasty! Your Sims won’t just inherit wealth—they’ll have to hustle, grind, and master their craft to create successful businesses from the ground up. From pottery shops to buzzing nightclubs, peaceful spas to chatty tattoo parlors, every generation will take on a new business venture, each with its own set of rules, skills, and challenges.

Can your family go from small-time entrepreneurs to legendary business moguls? Let’s find out!

(GOOGLE DOCS VERSION)

I plan to actively refine and add more generations once i've played through the game more, if there's any advice or something flawed you've noticed please let me know!

expand to see the legacy challenge!

NEEDED PACKS: Business and Hobbies

RECOMMENDED, BUT BASE GAME ALTERNATIVES PROVIDED: City Living Cats and Dogs Discover University Eco Lifestyle Get Together Get To Work Jungle Adventures Lovestruck Outdoor Retreat Parenthood Seasons Spa Day Werewolves

GOAL: Build a family legacy by creating a multi-generational business empire! Each generation must 'master' a different business type and pass the family fortune to the next heir! RULES: You may use freerealestate for your first HOUSE/LIVING AREA but after please refrain from using any more money cheats. Normal or Long lifespans recommended. The business must be started from scratch- no inheriting a previous successful business and remolding the lot/changing business activities. You may use the funds from your household to help kickstart a new business. IF you'd rather start from scratch each time, that's fine too. Each business should reach a 4-star rating before the heir can 'retire'. Try to train and promote employees- don't just fire them! NO selling the business for a quick payout- run it long-term.

Absent-Minded 3T2 Traits Pack!

UPDATE: Re-uploading here in a sec. Interaction-Take a Bath did not have hydrophobic effects.

Part 1 of a new out-of-nowhere series, releasing trait mods in wonderfully curated selections... by Trait!

I love this trait. Why can't we have stupid and smart Sims? Where was the SIXTH personality scale?... Dumb vs. Focused? etc... Anyways.. I fleshed out this trait for you all and made compatible versions.

Be sure to check out @noodlebelli 's tracker to grab the other trait mods for this trait.

Your first selection is called "Where Am I?"

Housekeeping

This mod was inspired by the Sims 3 Absent minded trait page on Sims wiki. It describes that Absent-Minded Sims in the Sims 3 will "action cancel" randomly, and "forget" what you told them to do!

I have made this mod compatible with several other trait mods - namely the showering and bath autonomy mods for the Hydrophobic trait, Slobs pee in Showers, and Brooding Sims take longer showers/baths.

Also for Eco-Friendly. All these mods are added into a mod by Meduza: https://www.tumblr.com/jellymeduza/693672582333022208/edits-of-some-mods

and here: https://www.tumblr.com/jellymeduza/650441192122777600/ts3-useable-snowboard-half-pipe-i-thought-it

I added this trait effect that I am about to tell you about.

But essentially, any trait mods to do with showering and baths, I got you covered.

Another version of this mod is compatible with PicknMix's Shared Showering, specifically the Temperature Enable. If you don't use Shared Showering, download the normal version.

THE MOD

All this mod does is gives a 10 percent chance that a Sim with the Absent minded trait will action cancel with, autonomously or otherwise, taking a bath and taking a shower. They will walk into the bathroom, idle very briefly, do a confused animation (The OFB one), and then maybe another animation such as a shrug, and then leave the room, without doing what you told them to do.

I have also added, for my own game, when a Sim goes to sleep, but I will go easy on y'all at first...

So it makes these Sims a bit more challenging to play and stays true to ts3 traits.

_________________________________________

Selection 2: Re-upload of Crosswords Are Hard for Absent-Minded, Genius, and Bookworm Sims. Skill speed changes depending on trait. Nothing was changed with this update.

_____________________________________

Selection 3: An edit of @gummilutt Chess Gives Science Enthusiasm with trait effects. Skill speed changes based on trait. Absent Minded Sims learn Logic slower from chess. Geniuses faster.

Requires Easy Inventory Check for ALL THREE MODS... and traits of course. Only download ONE Absent Minded "Where Am I" mods. One of them works with PicknMix's shared showering!

Remember to delete Meduza’s plug-ins and Gummi’s mod and/or load my mods last

Happy Simming!

occult legacy challenge, revamped for the sims 3

generation one; the scientist

After leaving home for the first time, you find yourself living on the outskirts of a desert town. You’re not there for very long before you start to notice strange things flying through the skies and the locals seem to act as if nothing is out of the ordinary especially the odd green ones.

Your parents were always honest when they said you were different from all the other children in class. Throughout your life, you strive to get back to your roots and find your true, authentic self. You're always finding yourself feeling jealous of those who fit in oh so easily and know who their true authentic selves are. This pushes you to become super interested in space and are determined to visit and meet more people like you.

Impulse - Jegulus - @stag-microfic - Day 30 - 504 words

“James.” Regulus blinks, staring at the scene before him as if he’s stepped into some sort of bizarre alternate reality. There, in the middle of their kitchen, stands James Potter, cradling a brown hen in his arms as if it’s the most natural thing in the world. “There’s no way this is real,” Regulus mutters to himself.

“Yes, jaanu?” James replies, his tone entirely too innocent as he beams at Regulus, the endearing nickname slipping from his lips with practiced ease.

Regulus narrows his eyes, disbelief still etched across his features. “Tell me that you didn’t impulse buy a chicken.”

James scoffs, as if the very idea is preposterous. “First of all, her name is Henrietta,” he corrects, holding the hen a little closer to his chest as if to shield her from any further insult. He runs a soothing hand over Henrietta’s head, her soft feathers ruffling under his touch. “Second of all, Remus grew up on a farm, so I basically know everything about chickens.”

Regulus isn’t moved by James’ logic; if anything, his expression hardens as he crosses his arms over his chest, a clear sign of his mounting exasperation. “I sent you to the store for eggs,” he points out, his voice laced with a mix of annoyance and disbelief that James could’ve possibly misunderstood such a simple task.

James, ever the optimist, is unfazed. His eyes light up with enthusiasm as he presents his argument, cradling Henrietta like a prized possession. “Henrietta is a lifetime supply of eggs!” he declares triumphantly, as if this is the most brilliant solution to Regulus’ request.

Regulus’ gaze shifts from James to the hen, who seems perfectly content nestled in James’ arms. He pinches the bridge of his nose, trying to ward off the headache that’s threatening to form. “James,” he begins slowly, trying to keep his tone calm, “a lifetime supply of eggs is not what I meant when I asked you to pick up a dozen.”

“But think about it,” James continues, undeterred by Regulus’ lack of enthusiasm. “She’s eco-friendly, and we’ll never have to worry about running out of eggs again! Plus,” he adds with a mischievous grin, “she’s kind of cute, right?”

Regulus can’t help the small, begrudging smile that tugs at the corners of his lips as he looks at the ridiculous scene in front of him. “You’re impossible,” he mutters, but there’s no real bite to his words.

James’ grin widens, sensing victory. “So… can we keep her?”

Regulus sighs, already knowing he’s lost this battle. “Fine,” he concedes, rolling his eyes. “But you’re cleaning up after her, and don’t think this means you’re off the hook for getting those eggs next time.”

James cheers, pressing a quick kiss to Regulus’ cheek before turning his attention back to Henrietta. “Hear that, Henrietta? You’re part of the family now!”

Regulus shakes his head, but there’s a warmth in his chest that he can’t quite deny. Living with James was never going to be boring, that much is clear.

Honestly, I really dig this combination of cards. I feel like this Page of Wands is asking you to take a different approach when thinking of success. It's clear that you value material and spiritual achievements equally, but you see them as something that's too far away from your reality. I think that it is very important to recognize that you are guarded by energies that match your ambitions, and you are doing things right to become the person you wish to be. 

Other than that, it is also relevant to think of the dissonances and miscommunications that can cause you trouble when trying to face any obstacles in your journey. The Emperor and The High Priestess are both equally strong in their own ways. Both of these energies are present in your life, and they happen to be complete polar opposites, the peak of male energy and the peak of female energy. Balancing both with every step you take is difficult, therefore it's understandable if you choose to focus on one or another depending on the moment. Ideally, these two should be able to communicate with one another, so you don't betray the nature of one taking actions more suitable to the other. 

In order to do this, I'd say that it's a great moment to look at the world with child-like eyes; allow yourself to be amused and ruled by curiosity, enrich your life with first time experiences and find joy in spaces where your creativity is nurtured. Don't assume that your learning years are over.

Okay, this is a tough one. Stay strong bestie. So… Clearly that Ten of Swords is about something in your head that has caused major negative impacts on your life. I wouldn't say it's mostly about emotional distress by itself, but instead I think it's more about the prevalence of dysfunctional thought processing patterns that are being ignored or mishandled in the social and emotional parts of your life. It seems that a deep understanding of your own sensitivity hasn't been enough to cope with this. 

But, it's not all bad, as the presence of both Kings, Wands and Cups, show me that the maturity and strength is there, what's lacking tho, is a more solid sense of trust on the logic presented by sources outside your own head. Feeling trapped and buried by your own thoughts, it's common enough that you can share them with trusted ones surrounding you in order to appease feelings of doubt and desperation. 

This combination of cards shows me that you have the capacity to move from this thought provoked stagnation, to move from a mental eco chamber of negativity. To accomplish this you should aim to build more solid relations based on nurturing each other's potential and emotional strength. Don't be doubtful when taking the first steps towards what you already know you can do for bettering yourself and others. Stop being confident in negative thoughts and begin being confident in positive ones, even if you need help beginning to do so.

Well, one is not bad but it’s not that good either. I think the main topic of this spread is to remain cautious when material success is achieved, in order to not cause yourself emotional and spiritual harm. Sometimes our material achievements can be directly related to spiritual growth, yet, we can not deny that the energy we spend on creating success for ourselves is just as valuable as the energy we spend on our spiritual journeys. In this case, the Seven of Pentacles shows me that your sense of purpose, in resonance with patience and determination, will bring great satisfaction as long as you take time to reflect and rest from the hard work. 

Nonetheless, be careful with who you choose to be generous with. There’s nothing wrong with providing a helping hand, but make sure that those who receive it understand the value of your hard work and are not there to deceit you by playing victims. Keep an eye on anything that is causing you doubts on your enterprises, and do not fool yourself with ideas and proposals that come from unrealistic perspectives. This is a great moment to reflect on the ways your energy is being received by others. The main priority should be your well being and your stability first. You can’t give to others if you can’t provide for yourself.
