Donald…I have a cask of very special wine I’d like you to try. It’s an Amontillado. Do come down into the bunker and have a taste.

St. Hubbins, the patron saint of quality footwear.
Japan doesn’t even bother with street names, except the largest ones in big cities. If you want to find a house, they are also not necessarily numbered sequentially. Sometimes the houses in a neighborhood are numbered in the order they were built.
If you want to find a house, you go to the neighborhood map and look there. At least, that’s how it used to be. Now everything is GPS. I was using GPS in a car close to 30 years ago, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the first place in the world to have consumer GPS, simply because they needed it.
C’mon, weren’t you blown away by the (at the time) novel digitized voice? “He slimed me!”
Of course, escape from Castle Wolfenstein did it even earlier (“was ist los, was ist los” and “ach, mein leben!”).


Sadly, the US system is not the same as imperial. As far as I know the main difference is the gallon.
1 gal. Imp. = 1.201 gal. U.S.
I also hate having lb.f. and lb.m (pounds force and pounds mass), which have different units and at sea level are different by a factor of about 32).
I just went to the emergency room today (in Canada). I had slipped on ice and my knee was too painful to walk.
Arrive at 9:00 am. Small town, no charge for parking at the hospital.
Go into the emergency department, no one waiting there. I take a number, it’s #2.
Five minutes later, I’m with the triage nurse. She decides I should have an X-ray before seeing the doctor. That takes 30 minutes.
Wait 15 minutes for the doctor, she stays that nothing is torn or broken, I just have a sprain. Gives me a knee brace and prescription for an anti-inflammatory.
Walk out 90 minutes after I arrived. Total cost: $0.00 (plus $2.85 to fill the prescription).


I don’t know. I think the Constitution only matters if Trump and mega don’t control all three branches of the government.
After all, weren’t the search and seizure is everywhere. Disregarding habeas corpus. Disobeying court orders to release detainees. Bullying allies and doing his best to undermine NATO.
Now he wants the federal government to have control over National elections, and it seems pretty clear that if the Republicans look like they’re going to lose control of the house or senate, elections will be suspended completely.
Every time Trump crosses a red line, people, Democrats especially, just draw a new red line.


There’s also the issue that around once a year the two planets will be on opposite sides of the sun. Not only would you have a lag of close to 3 hours, but communication would be completely impossible for a month or so at a time.


Yes, but the two-and-a-half hour lag each way would be a killer.
You could check out FolderFort. Sometimes they have lifetime pricing. I paid something like $170 for 3TB lifetime.
They have SFTP access in beta.


People are bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.
You might want to look at something like Drupal as an alternative to WordPress. Drupal tends toward a lot more open source for its plugins (which they call modules). As a developer myself, I also find it better engineered than WordPress, although maybe that’s just because I used Drupal more.


I would be more inclined to believe that Trump has, with the help of Israeli and Russian security services, amassed comprising material on all, or almost all, national-level politicians, judges, and bureaucrats.


I think they should be upfront with people that when they go to her concert, they’re not hearing her sing live, at least most of the time, and they are not hearing the band play live.
It should be obvious that no singer could do several 3-hour shows a week for more than a year, and not have it affect her voice.
Just check out the Wings of Pegasus YouTube channel, to see where two different concerts in different countries had exactly the same music (vocal and instrumental).
I know several people who spent thousands of dollars to see her in concert. I’m not going to go out of my way to ruin the memory for them. They got the experience they wanted. But I’m also not going to pretend that it was a musical experience.
Was that guy named Emmanuel Macron? He met his wife when he was 15 and she was 39. He was in a class with her daughter.


It would be a good idea to spell it correctly, then:
Atheist
I remember upgrading from a Commodore Vic-20, with 3.5 KB of RAM, to a Commodore 64 with 64 KB. I was already in university at the time.


Not to mention that the Germans themselves took a few years out, and then put a lot of the Nazi political machine back in charge.
Does anyone remember when Kurt Waldheim, UN Secretary General for 9 years and President of Austria for 6, turned out to be a former nazi? Whoops ie!


Wow, their website is really shitty on a phone, though (not sure about on a desktop). Half of all the pages are taken up with ads. Much too easy to hit one by mistake.
The whole picture looks bad, like an AI rendering from several years ago.
