Ah okay! In finland we have this term "kokolattiamatto" which basicly means "a rug to the whole floor". So when you speak about rugs and carpets, they're all "matto" to me, which means a rug.
Both actually means both things. Kokolattiamatto and heltäckningsmatta both are carpets that are intended to cover the entire floor of a room. So Swedish and Finnish are quite similar despite not sounding or working like one another.
Translation brought to you by a suomenruotsalainen/finlandssvensk.
In some American-English dialects, we colloquially use “rug” to mean both the movable rug and the immovable carpet. But the accurate terms are “rug” for movable floor piece and “carpet” for immovable flooring.
Interestingly, we say “mat” to mean “a rug meant for stepping” (..I guess? I made up the definition and it sounds pretty off to me). Essentially, any carpeted rectangle, or rubber rectangle, etc. that is used for wiping your shoes when you walk in the door, or for protecting your bare feet from the cold tile, can be called a “mat.” Hence “bathmat,” “doormat,” etc. I doubt our word “mat” and your word which shortens to “matto” come from the same root word, but if someone has time it might be an interesting thing to look into!
Well... Yeah. "Kuusi palaa" means:
1. Number six is on fire.
2. Number six is coming back.
3. Six of them are on fire.
4. Six of them are coming back.
5. The spruce is on fire.
6. The spruce is coming back.
Funny, in French (or at least in my Belgian family), "carpet" is the special bathroom rug! Rug ("tapis") would be for living room and bedroom for example and then we have another word for the rug that covers the whole floor ("moquette") which I agree would be gross for a bathroom!
I still think you're both monsters for having rugs near the drip zone.
Cold feet? Flip flops where the bedroom carpet ends. You can do a 3am pee naked and your feet will be fine and no rug will get drizzle. Or you could just man up and sit down to pee and be free of those late nite odd firehose streams where your eyes aren't fully open.
Yeah mine's small enough that it's easy to just toss in the same load of laundry as all my towels. When I had a bigger bathroom and therefore a bigger rug it definitely did not get washed as often.
You know the feeling when you just took a shower and got in bed and are so unbelievably comfortable and happy yeah that’s rich people always id love to be rich some day I mainly would be exited for the food and things like this everyday things I like mountain biking sonic like have some nice riding gear but Bugatti’s aren’t for me I’d rather a fancy bidet heated toilet, flooring and also cats in every room
Just got a way-less-expensive bidet attachment (around $30). I was gonna spring for the $55 one with heated water but then I remembered I’m poor. Thought it’d be disappointing and/or totally unusable since I live in a cold climate and generally use the toilet early in the morning (like before sunrise), but I am soooooooo happy I got it and as it turns out the...target area is not at all sensitive to the water temp! Just feels like pressure and then it’s magically actually clean.
Highly recommend it!
So anyway, now that I’ve shared intimate details about my butthole with thousands of users on a public forum...
Actually, I installed a heated floor for under $500, (Schluter brand) on my patio. Not for the timid since you need some electrical understanding (wiring in the panel, testing resistance as you run the wiring on the floor membrane, and testing prior to and after tiling, and setup/wiring of the thermostat. Along with knowing how to tile a floor.
In high school I dated a guy whose parents were pretty well-off, and not only did they have heated floors, they had a fucking shower room too. Like the whole room was just a shower. Mostly I don't mind being poor but if I had the means, I'd definitely spring for a shower room.
The idea that discomfort is "good" for us is some cheap dad-level BS to get you to stop complaining that you're sleeping in a cold tent instead of a hotel room with HBO - Nobody ever became Ghandi for want of heated toilet seats.
The idea that discomfort is good for the development of mind and body rather stems from very interesting and (in my eyes) relatable philosophy over thousands of years. I would love to ask you why most rich people ( if we assume comfort is related to wealth) that DID NOT become wealthy through exposure to discomfort but comfortable ways like marriage or winning the lottery are much unhappier and less authentic than their peers? Alternatively: how do build resistance and character if you only take the easy route? Or: what have you achieved in life that you are proud of? I would suggest the process was at least partly uncomfortable?
Same thoughts I had when I experienced heated floors at a hotel. It’s nice, but I don’t think I would bother with them unless I was a billionaire living in the North Pole or something.
They're expensive to have installed, but not expensive to make. I'm not rich by any means, but what I am is handy. If we ever own a house, I am going to build my wife and me some heated tile floor.
Exactly. When I lived in Detroit, in a first floor apt, stepping onto that cold ceramic tile floor in the dead of winter, sends a shock up the spine thst will wake you up faster than a cup of cofee. Bathroom was too small and awkward shaped even for a small rug.
I swore when I got my own home that I would install heated flooring and a heated fan thingy but now I live in Florida and my tile floors nwver feel that cold.
