348. In Sweater

I don't have a role in what happened 80 years before I was born, but me not mentioning it doesn't make it go away. And he also made Death Strand. And just for those of you who are not following the bit here, I think it's fair to say that there are similarities not just to the story and plot. But we've got this Apple Arcade thing. I don't think parents are overly curious about the quality of games they give their kids unless they're like me or you, presumably. And it's like that's not you're not really playing, but I guess getting on. I get into this weird zone where I have a general sense of what I'm looking for without specifically knowing. I see I can do 10% or 15% fill, and that's going to change how long this thing does overnight, but I didn't set the row height right.

It's really good. Wait with the missile. Should they be great at writing uh copy? Going chicken problem, I had the privilege of going to vacations because there weren't bullies. Yeah, there's all kinds of things that you could like, you know, the thought technologies you could try on for two weeks or whatever. Oh Mama Bird didn't spit in mommy didn't spit in baby's mouth yet. Uh Graccia was born I think they were mostly born pretty tightly around the same time in the eighteen eighties. And pep we're watching paprika. How much do you love that guy? Uh and I was thinking I I would like something that maybe doesn't raise my blood pressure, that's mellow, something I can learn quickly and is fun, you know, to use all you know.

And of course anytime I post something that says, hey, you're you know, you're a submarine commander at level 137, other people are like, I'm Matt Howie's like, I'm level 75,000 or whatever. 3D printer and I've learned things about life from playing Solitaire Plus. Let let's say a five of spades. Let's talk about how uh never seen uh or I I have seen the Tennessee Blue. I I it's like they want to steal Italian valor, I think. Irish people had the shittiest of the shit jobs and Jewish people well, you know, there's always been a little bit of a cloud hanging over there. Uh guys, just this imagine this is I'm I'm Will Summer and I'm putting this on the internet with a buster over it. bread, there were laws passed.

Right? Uh yes and like it's it's like surreal because it was the Jewish stuff as a kid. My Miami, but uh like when a button. Casey Lis, my, you know, mortal enemy can't can't get a few more. area. I I'm talking about any uh prego's no sweet precious boy, I love that movie. You want to get those really good prescription juices. an SNL sketch of them doing uh a a bit that parodies the outsiders and uh it it makes me very happy. Is that is that is that is that uh is that is that Pony Boy or is that motorcycle boy? Of what of what? For the war, no more coxes to conquer. J being very genuine about the resituates all your other words as seeming un or disgenuine. Stammering a little bit less, but saying genuinely more because our challenges have been interesting.

Just in the run up to like when they throw the bags at them and make them go outside. But like Nobu, like you know Nobu. Neon Genesis Evangelian or it is kind of like watching Oh God, what was the one? Interestingly now. Three of the temple features of Vic of Inception and like four other movies come directly out of this. Twilight. them. It was not even strange within normal parameters. You can see it in Criterion. I finally said, you know what? Uh that's probably the only person in America. You know? It it is because it's solitaire. Yeah, that's some some idiot will download it like me, you know. 'Cause they park their kid in front of the TV. anything. uh all of this stuff on YouTube, what is my kids seeing, even though it's YouTube for kids or whatever.

Uh no no no no no no No no no No the opposite like that e you would even associate anything good with a a video game. That's the first thing. And like you're like, oh man, I really hope that pretty soon, um, I get something where I can pull off that five of clubs. I know I know. strategy, meta-strategy, what I would call for theory of mind. Uh that would be fun. Hmm, I don't want to say upsetting because this is very difficult and complicated. Um things where I can't tell who I'm being racist to. This is one of those situations where it's offensive to someone, but I just don't know. Play solitaire. I don't know. Um Italian people in Japanese. And then the point that's definitely Italian people, yeah.

What's the QI one I like? Because there were laws passed, and the this is so laws passed that like Jewish people were not allowed to make or touch bread. Okay, so that No, it's okay. Yeah, I think I think I was expecting a a you know Tom Kitchen situation. S startling is too not s soft a a word, like I guess it's just surreal. No one cared. British con conservatives. Oh my god, did I just do a racism too? that joke. Uh such as the some of the translations for Squid Game being super weird. I don't it I don't it's just a website. I guess I could just look it up on the internet, but I don't like being handed things. In that you have a lot to say about them and come at them in uh I I don't know if that's a bit.

You you know why? Death stranding. Uh uh you people can find it. that has some magic tricks on it and I was very proud of the name Card Carrying Queer. Yes. Batt Battle Did you say Battle Royal? Have you ever seen that movie Battle Royale? t not beat for beat, but when I r read it in middle school, I thought, oh, this is I I wish that I had read this I think you would enjoy more cor uh like Korean horror films. But like at a mall. It's a western about ramen? And 1985. piece of shit. How can I put this? Look like you've got a mustache app, drinking a beer app. Is not a wholesome experience. uh what are uh uh in app purchases. And there's some two-year-old h holding a um a weather beaten iPad mini and playing some bleep bloop bluey knockoff game.

Yeah, but like do you really like keep up with that and do you see like what's happening in those YouTube videos? I think these parents who do a big show of like, You're allowed to watch ten minutes of T V a day but it can only be streaming PBS is like pfft, give me a break. Cod I will say I will say I hate that show. while I played Solitaire Plus. So that was weird. You know what? I'm gonna need a meta list and it's gonna be my list of things I've learned from things it doesn't seem like you could learn something from. Uh I uh one is that you ever hang have an unwinnable hand? There is such a thing as an unwanted. The kid is b basically is is treating no no no just keeps clicking on the auto thing until the game's done.

If you didn't liberate that five of clubs, that could be why the hand feels unwinnable. Yeah, it's almost uh I guess a mindfulness thing because you can't i get into your zone. just because there are are y you you need to know what hands are winnable and what hands aren't and in the exact way But like then with other betters, other gamblers, I mean, that's that's like a whole new world. I don't know. Just going to say yes, I am uh absolutely phenom phenomenal at social deception games, which is Except I I know too much. Like poker but with dice. that you said of like, okay, well, also like like as with a 3D printer, there's not one thing to learn once. Just learning the rules is one thing, but then learning what the chances are, like me, like but when I learned basic strategy for blackjack in the early 2000s, like you just learn the way uh the way that every monkey should be trained to always, always, always play blackjack.

discrimination toward people from Ireland, right? Irish well you know how like oh boy I'm not gonna get in trouble talking about Jawas. I don't know. You end up making biggles. You know this is a good thing. Um the and then what did that have to do with what we were talking about? Tell it tell it to dump in its own state. It is hard so it is really hard. spoken yes uh Japanese. Groucho. I've read the book only, yes. Uh right. about it. Yeah. God. Ex exactly. Whether it's watching Paprika or whether it's reading Brothers Dostoevsky or whether it's watching Battle Royale, I am not great at recognizing But they did so d each kid is so memorable. names and faces that are that are pound for pound.

Swirls him around and then throws him back on the ground. Oh, this is such a take on uh it okay. I'm pretty sure he has ta talked uh about it. Um, there are similarities at the level of story. before I I like this is a much more age-appropriate thing. With this one I won't I will always forget how very dark this movie is. Um, I I I super liked um, well I don't know if it counts, but obviously Baba Duke, I think that's Australian. A a delight. Well, every day and with a UI that leaves a lot to be desired. or potentially a vector for malware or similar, I would absolutely just say free-to-play solitaire game gambling component Marco uh talks about. Parents g uh the o the only reason I've been thinking about this, well obviously my nieces, but also the increasing t requests for please I I don't I I don't even mind the ads, but I can't read anything.

And Mr. I started playing Solitaire Plus right around the time I started listening to this one album. Uh look at the jizz pool. Ling in jizz puddles and sweater. From my Roomba. play it play a new hand or play a winnable hand we can say look you deal me whatever you want but this hand needs to be winnable or daddy's gonna be sad Because boy, there's so many cards over under that one column. I've never remember which is which. a 100% thing ever. Mm-hmm. Yes. I don't know why, but I know that, right? You fucked up because that five of clubs really is the one that needed that was the critical card. aces, queens, and twos in that pile that like you really need to keep moving. skin I think is the default settings of solitaire being uh solitaire plus on Apple Arcade having it I I guess like not even on easy mode.

Gage just because he really gets inside a person's brain, don't he? Uh no. There are th there are three ethnic or national origin groups in the United States I can think of straight off the dome that were not considered white people until fairly recently. The probably the the earliest was probably Irish people. And why? Are you aware of this? There's always been a battle in America for who gets to be a person. just because it was always uh literally a a s safe space as as a youth I I don't know. AB? No, because I think that I'm being gaslit. Wait, how would he know? He also says I don't know he he can't also says he can't describe words to me in terms of how they rhyme because I if I don't have a baseline for how words are pronounced, I can't know if they rhyme.

I have card carrying queers uh somewhere and i i it's for uh the little magic bits I do. Like just like uh No what hurt what you mean this movie from this movie from like like 15 years ago that was based on an extremely popular manga? Uh we're sitting there watching Paprika a couple weeks ago and Billy's like, uh, huh. Yeah, yeah. about Apple Arcade games that they absolutely do not have about every game. That's why I I wish more people would try out Apple Arcade. And pretty soon it got so like you're you know what I mean? Of uh you got this five of clubs that's been bumming you out because there's like six cards under it. Not a hoax, but not really a thing that happened, which I find very funny.

It was believed that there was a cabal, a conspiracy of Jewish people that would kill Christian children and use their blood to make bread. there like the rich people are leaving cause they're like, oh, oh no, thank you. Wait, wait, and he's basically my age. I kind of want them to as if they're still alive. Uh uh yeah, and they had to shoot in the rain. I think it's called Man in the Woods. Oh my god. Which is an outstanding movie. Now the ring is a now Ringu Ringu is is Japanese. Yeah, but they'll go there in some of those uh those Asian filmmakers. What was your relationship like before? And I have a lot to say about it. But if he's playing games, it's usually on almost always on the Switch and sometimes the PS4.

I was on a I was on a 77-day streak of daily challenges, and I had done the last three or whatever trips. No no no. It's i i uh I just wouldn't have expected that from you for some reason. Where are you getting those sweaters? liberating cards that are locked, right? Yeah. And um and so Neil Gaiman was on and it's it pulled together a couple threads of things I'd always kind of heard, but never in one place. why bagels exist. Yeah, yeah. Oh, see that's the one that the one in the back might be Chico. They all look the same? At a distance. Strand like stranding it uh yeah. Oh, oh. Yes, I got my autumn crow and I believe it is. But do you ever calculate how many games you have to play to complete that in a week?

Mostly I I wanted to hear what y you had to say, but I was surprised that you started playing this game every day. Okay. And you you need to play enough to know because w there are there is such a thing as an unwinnable hand. Because if it does one of those suddenly a bunch go up at once, you might have just blown a lot of your opportunities for where to put that black five. Uh Mark's Brothers Young. Twists. All n g board games. Yeah. Dead yeah. Oh he's metal seer uh right, he's metal here. What do you mean how my I'm I'm trying to do it? And then you go, oh I could see that. Yeah. Hinkle's trouble. I've never played games. No, no. And here's the thing. Is that is that part of the show? But you know what I'm saying?

Woof. And I and I got approval that I said it right. It's always in there. Philosophical reflection album I I do. For Judaism, I I Some some cursing, light smoking, mischief. I feel like this is gonna get you a text from Syracuse somehow, some way. I have the common problem. I was watching Deceptive Practice last night with Ricky J. I think that's the uh it it doesn't matter. I think that's the thing about life. I mean like the famous sort of like Irish and dogs not welcome, those kinds of signs. I know that Florida has always been weird, especially It's only recently though that my sign has become illegal in Florida. So, you know, like for example, here's a like so I'm sorry, this will this will sound like gibberish if you've never played solitaire or especially this game.

Which is, I think, a really interesting way to look at it. I can't be the werewolf if I don't know I'm the werewolf. Because if I heard this week's challenge, play solitaire, I'd I'd be like, Nope, nope, nope, nope, and just turn off the podcast. What is the word stranding? My kid does not play a lot of games on Apple devices, right? Oh yeah. I throw up his card games. Uh Battle Royale is I I guess I'll never remember. It's always, it's up there with like Seventh Seal and Tampopo in the like, you know, classics you can always rewatch, which is totally true. Um other things. When when someone have had grand elders on the lower west central coast. I've seen listen to who's Haideo Kojima and why does he keep coming up?

I know he's really he's a really famous actor, but I love that guy. That you ever have those weird compulsions, kind of like a compulsion where you're like you do something when you do something else? What are you A B? Suzanne, Suzanne Summers. Number two though, no m almost no hands are actually unwinnable. Ooh, that sounds Garing's Gearing's secret Yahtzee. And yeah, so in the sub below Sarasota area, right? So they d that's that's why. Neil Gaiman was recently on um there's only like two podcasts I still listen to. And it it brags about being on the app store for a decade, but f the majority s since there have been Yeah, I expected tomorrow, so I was like, oh, how did they decide to like uh uh to steam I don't know what I'm saying?

Uh Florida. It's it it was racially diverse, not class diverse. Yeah. If you're not paying attention, you're paying too much attention to the the what do they call it? I think that's about chess. Help us, Dr. I don't know if this is apocryphal, but uh someone recently oh uh have have you And I'm not I I don't have a dog in this fight, but you know, history doesn't change. Well, I mean, I didn't need Neil to tell me this because I knew this. I need to start having a more wholesome relationship with my solitaire game. Have you been hearing this? Peggy's page. So neon evangelism, whatever it's called. We've got the Rainman suite. Oh, is that the Leo? The top one. And then you're like, oh I I see that.

Uh yeah, I was gonna like it forget about like uh genre on premise. There's always money in the banana stand. And tick tick tick. Yes. You will first of all just before we get to the blood libel stuff, you've got like, oh, these people are filthy and they will contamin they're always contaminating our wells and our bread. Why? Of what? But um no, I had to cut it off because it was becoming unwholesome. Why not? Oh, Yahtzee's such a good game. For whatever reason, happenstance, coincidence, kismet, serendipity, other adjectives I learned in high school. And like, you know, and then you can like and then I guess baking came into it later on, but that was one way of being able to like have AB the Fish Man?

You ever watch House? You could get kenny shoes or be terrified about these girls. I'm probably the only middle-aged aging man in America who said, could we please all agree to use one password? But do you get to lie to people? Uh No Such Thing as a Fish? It's a dream adrenochrome now. I'm sending you three photos of the Marx Brothers. I heard it was a very difficult shoot. I didn't what what's it called? Nobu's the one whose head is barely in the picture. I've learned things about life from my Roomba. There is a way that the cards can be dealt even on multiple plays. I think the foundation is the cards that you're playing down in the thing, and I think the tableau am I no. Death stranding you be because setting you up to talk about solidar?

I would say I would I would take I would take Caillou aside and say stay away from Mr. The Man in the Woods attack. Um but I was very Could you please repeat that last sentence for me? Burgers. Interesting. So I started playing that a while back. I've never seen the show. Zayus. Oh yeah. Oh oh you should you should see the four the brothers when they're young. Why? This is like a sort of thing. That was funny. So I'm making everybody mad by saying that, but I've seen it, man. Now if you're in that numbskull mode the way my kid plays where you just keep going click click click click click till things happen, you should watch my kid play this. There are unwinnable things, but not not as often as you think.

No. Know what? And it is also a lot of things. This is a many centuries old idea. I think that's Harpo, Groucho, Chico. Especially okay, i you I assume read the book first, right? Oh wait, really? Are we playing the same solitaire game? Right. Uh I'll allow it. That's a that's a complicated complicated business really. I'm very uncomfortable. There is an element of intuition, but that intuition comes out of an element of experience where you learn often enough. Well they they I think a lot of them were marble workers, like very gifted craftspeople who built a lot of the buildings. No, no, wait. Suzanne Summers, whoever wrote Hunger Games, i I have heard it said that that person claims to never have known anything about the existence of Battle Royale.

About ramen. That's what my ba uh it's it's auto that's But if you get into that habit, it depends what your settings are. No, no, no. Because I think pancreatic cancer. It's so realistic. Yeah. All the SC Hintons? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Like we get it all. But if you keep ticking the one off the top, if you send that five of spades over to that six of hearts, No, no, no, but you play games with people and like whatever, any of those games y'all uh used to like to play and talk about that involve Like like there would be that was definitely a thing. Because I like absolutely buy that and I do bu buy the oh the performances are really, really bad. And conversely, whenever I played Solitaire Plus, I would listen to the Graham Parker album Squeezing Out Sparks.

Where are they getting like uh hoo hoo hoo? Oh, because of the cousin, you couldn't get on T Borg. You take thirty kids that are the same age, I'm not gonna do a great job at differentiating all of them in any case. It's the cards on the top as well as the cards on the bottom. Wouldn't you say? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bagels exist according to the spoilers, why do they exist? Yeah, it was like I'm gonna be that person. I am baby. It is. Challenge for this week is to um play solitaire and uh I I have an angle on this. I did I I have I have that the point when I finally had to say leave it. Yeah, it's just that like the as much as parents as much as parents like to crow about all the things they do to like, oh, you know, be careful with your kids and blah blah.

It's kind of one of our most basic things. Maybe not as difficult as the bear. I tried brick for a fifth or sixth time, couldn't do it. It it fucks. Yeah, but like if you just keep tapping to auto make it go somewhere, because you eventually I get into this zone where I'm like I don't really know how I can't describe to you how this works, but over months of playing this I know, I know it, I know. I started watching. That took me a second. I'm like, oh, okay. I think he's the secret racist. Like there's just no limit to how many and also if I were going to, for example, if I wanted to slip something in that's either one of those shitty IAPs that nobody notices But I I feel I trusted it because it's on Apple Arcade and I try to keep saying to my family if you're looking for something that's just fun, Apple Arcade has standards.

Uh-huh. But card uh like uh decks of cards are the building blocks of almost Yeah, why is no one said this? Oh, so you know, it's just that and then like the that plays out in such dark dark ways and like I don't know. That the ones on the Blu-ray aren't good because he doesn't speak Japanese, so how does he know that the ones on the Would you consider that making that your username somewhere maybe? It made me kind of. It would be like, oh I've never But I mean honestly the the for whatever her name is is not Stephanie Myers. We get the story. Like that makes such a weird connection in your head where all one always suggests the other. Yeah, it was and also weirdly uh diverse because you could try having an English accent, listen to the cure.

They'll they'll really go there. I have, but not for a very, very strange movie movie. But isn't that kind of funny though? You know there's there's such a there's winnable hands and unwinnable hands. You know, it is about getting stuff into the tableau and the foundation, but it's really also about like Oh I l uh oh it's my favorite I know it's his least favorite. You really know like the like the the the cute girl, like the the like the the the the the the curvy like fancy high school girl. Uh let me s I'm trying to think of like international horror films I've love. Hmm. It's it's like it it's like The Simpsons. Um, but I I don't know that much about poker other than uh the the most basic ass stuff.

No, I'm sorry you don't. I I I I I I I don't know. And so I was thinking I should go look at um, you know, remember how I've been playing a little of that game Stitch? Not not even just like Cardi uh card games. I I just haven't ever, ever really played it. Oh, that was pleasant. See how they look alike though? People No, is that the Fritz Coppla one? Yeah. There are similarities at the level of implementation, and I mean really it does feel like there are some similarities even at the level of Pull this thread as I walk away. A B the Fish Man. It's harassment that is. That that there are very big similarities between that and my beloved Pacific Rim. This app has had in app purchases. So you're telling me you're telling me a Jewish man born in the eighteen eighties is not allowed to impersonate an it an Italian on Broadway?

You can see every detail of the youth sweater as it lays face down in jizz puddle. That becomes part of the show. It's like a good thing. I haven't destroyed friendships, but I but when I I I know very little about poker. They were very much not considered Americans. But you know how Jawas are kind of like rats. They've f they've figured it out. Especially in Florida. Oh. It's it makes it makes me very genius has a new video out. Oh I love it. He like you know all these kids. He's technically ammunition. It's like auto mode and because there's so much stuff where it can like do the thing for you. About what? Yeah. Isn't it amazing? I can't get my goddamn family to use all the family subscriptions I've got.

Are you playing Solitaire Plus? I do that's very bad. QI. But but uh y you know, did you did you know, did you know the author of the Hunger Games have never heard of it? Shouldn't have stabbed that guy in the ass, Nobu. It's good. Um an example of one where he does is playing Sims on um a MacBook Air. Hello, hello, but I don't know how to get the subtitles. Oh. You're the Boswell to my Johnson and I don't love it. Ho ho ho. Like the Nobu incident with the collar or just when he's had it with the girl and like literally throws a knife at her forehead from across the room. Why was it Well one of the things that's weird, I don't know, I'm not sure quite why. Go on, go on. Imagine the genre called Westerns.

Because it's a store. Learning to think how other people think about how you're thinking. And it keeps coming back up again and again. Did I just do face lobbying? I don't know if you know, but making uh the bear was very uh what's it called the grizzly? Because you blew the one opportunity that you had to get at those cards that might be some combination of like, let's say You know, the thing about like blood libel and the whole thing of like They all look like almost exactly alike. Maybe he didn't get enough prescription genes. That was then this is now? Finding big paprika subtitles is not a simple thing. I don't see a date on it, but I'm gonna guess they look pretty young. I'm oh that's that's the problem.

Metal Seer Girl Seer Seer guy. This is what is stranding mean? Yeah, I think I can kind of see that. God, I'm trying to do a passkey to get to my email. Mm-hmm. Why is it making me horrible? Mark's Brothers Young. Look how cute they are. You might have been the first person to make that change. I mean, doesn't that make you at least for myself, puts me in the mind of flashlight apps? Child gambling. And a lot of times I just know without having to look that a red eight will go somewhere. Oh no. The thing that I'm about to say is not true. Yeah, like like Naples, so like the opposite of Miami. And I couldn't say, I guess Zappo, but I can't tell from that. Harpo's got that little bit of like danger in his eyes.

Oh gosh. Nope, nope, nope. Uh ju I have been I hope. Well yeah, he gets them and that's great because he gets the machine gun. I when I No, no, it's like it is one of those things, let's be honest, it is kind of like watching These sweet young ladies. It's so many games. I've seen a lot of people who think they're like cool parents in structured hats and the kids are watching such hot garbage. I'm Are there really that many sweaters in the wild? And I'm not the best and I really super don't mean this to be racist, but like Now I got a machine gun. And then you get to like It's like I'll never remember all the actors that are in the aviator ever, ever. This okay, this poster is awesome. But I have, with that said, I have played a lot of solitaire in the last few months.

I do. What's a tableau a and a foundation? Oh, but you're also thinking about drugs and being in an institution and seeing and seeing games on the ceiling. That's that's why I am always fascinated by Zach Hey, it's do by Friday. Yeah, and the guy with the hat comes in and wants to pickle it and he's like, You don't pickle bagels, dude. From the Boy Genius album. Uh I so I saw the day uh Devil and Mother are like I hate I hate That is that is honestly that is a new thing that I'm exploring. Uh that the uh Irish need not apply was If nothing else, watch the first fourteen minutes. Oh, quite interesting. Um I I mean in the first picture how uh that you sent how old are they? Right? Well yeah, we should we should wrap this soon.

Um because he's seen he's seen it before in other ways and like No but that's what I mean because he has not So like um No, I was You know the the the the the two kids who are ringers, the kid with the bandana and the kid with the sexy hair who gets the machine gun? Hinkle's house. That's awesome. But the irony is though that it's that that doesn't mean it'll choose what it doesn't mean is it it doesn't mean it will choose the best move for you. It's very difficult uh make a nice tulip They weren't allowed to touch bread, they weren't allowed to bake bread. In another y universe, like there there's a s there's like I like some that I've seen a lot. Um what I uh what really got under my No no no no or a m I should say l uh people I know of have known You can now ray tracing.

No baby. Not that. Yes, from Apple Arcade. I started playing and then I started doing the daily challenge and I started doing the trip or whatever it's called. But I have other things to say about this. What have you learned from Solitaire Plus? This is Do By Friday, a weekly challenge podcast with Alex Cox and Merlin Mann. Right? Oh my god. Um Paprika. I don't n I mean, your kid's older, but trying to find a good kid's game Because like on the one hand I I sound like I'm being contradictory about two different things because I kind of am. I've learned things about life from my 3D printer. Everything you learn, and I I imagine that's very true in something like poker, where that No no no. It it wa well like it w it was like Irish uh it So of course I bounced and watched once Deceptive.

Because I love learning and then talking about things that I have learned from, I'll give you two examples, things I've learned about life. That's a whole other level, right? It's like organic chemicals. I don't know. Yeah, he he's uh He's like crypto cryptography in the nineties. They're just very handsome and it's like the first time I saw Tom Holland and I was like, wait. Is that even SC Hinton? Is is he d I mean d is it possible? Go watch, go watch that Gangster New York movie with the tall hats. Yes, when people came here, especially after the famine, I think.
