>You may think it’s unnecessary to use a blanket at 10 p.m., when it’s still hot, but by 4 a.m., when it’s colder and you’re unable to shiver? You might need it

We have a common saying for this in Turkish. When somebody feels hot and insists on sleeping without something covering them, we say something like "it snows on a sleeper at night, you better take this on you" and hand them a minimal sheet to sleep under.
- goldenkey 9y agoQuite randomly, regarding Turkey, I just watched the movie Midnight Express. Then watched Midnight Return right after. Only because I saw someone on HN talking about how many cats there are in Istanbul, and name-dropping the movie. Now I really want to go there. Without smuggling any hash of course. Crypto hashes are okay right? ;-)
- cmrx64 9y agohave you watched KEDi? :)
- goldenkey 9y agoI haven't but I plan to soon. Thanks for letting me know.
- goldenkey 9y agoJust watched KEDi on Youtube Red [1]. Made me cry. I love my cats so much but they live the best lives when they have the freedom. And I don't know how to deal with them getting sick or dying. With kids, you usually hope you are the first to go. But with pets that have shorter lives, how to cope? There is a lot of wisdom in the movie with regard to the special relationship and insight cats give us to life itself. I have such a deep respect for Turkey now, I even have new respect for Islam. Allahu akbar. May peace be with you my friend. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpG0z-npFIY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpG0z-npFIY
