India has almost every kind of terrain on the planet, but does it have steppes? Do they mean Rajasthan? Been thinking about this since I left the shop. The translations are all the same except Hungarian at the bottom, which means “Bengal Path” so I guess it annoyed their paint name translator too.

Damn, Czech burger bars don’t sugar coat it do they.

The best quote about reading I know. So easy (for me anyway) to fall into the trap of thinking that reading the book is the point. What an absolute star Epictetus was.
Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents.

Never in a million years would I have thought of this brand name for toilet paper. Why advertisers make the big bucks, I guess.
