We bought a dryer, got some discount, so took a new salami cutter for the amount, called Hasan now, of course. The happy circumstance is that the clerk said she also had the same (dryer, and also the washer) and that it's sitting on top of the washer.

The guys brought it on second of november in the afternoon, and weren't exactly happy when we suggested they should mount it, but when they saw where it goes and that it's just half a meter inside, they mounted it in five minutes. That's where we got lucky... ever since there's seven of us in the house, drying the clothes has become a problem, and this thing saved our bacon. First of all, there's no exhausst, it doesn't have a hotwire heater, it runs a heat exchanger, so condenses the steam on cold pipes and collects it in some vessel. There's technically pure water for us.

We later found some use for some of that water. For starters, for ironing.

The shot is, of course, an autopatch. The 2015 lens hits it down to 16mm or so, which is about 26 when translated into leica format, not wide enough to encompass this angle from so close, this is Johan's room, aka pantry.

We tried several apps for family chat, e.g. the bulgarian Žici (Жици, translated as Jitsy - wires), which yes, it does operate a peer-to-peer connection, but to establish that it uses Gugao's services, fuck that. Then we tried Franz, which was named after that Pferdinand guy, and they just notified me now that my trial has expired. Well, it's not only that you ask for money, but aren't good enough for me to overcome my disgust over the name. Whoever, in this century, finds a reason to glorify the Habzburgs*, has my liberal permission to enjoy all kinds of rectal speleology with them, I don't need anything from them.

In some dispute about tranalation, machine and other kids, on the suština's mailing list, Škrba said that „in Moscow in 2015 they sold 24.000 bats and only 16 baseball balls; people just love american sports, what else“.

* by serbian rule of pronunciation, equalization-per-aspiration, in a group of consonants, the last one wins and the preceding consonants assume the last one's aspiration - so -psb- becomes -bzb-.
