  1. Over the past 25 years, the rot has spread from the christian nationalist "preachers" to the rest of their party. That's how I describe it.
  2. There is, apparently, an ideal time for your spacecraft to blow up.
  3. Please c&p for me if you'd like. I'm about to be offline and am stumbling around on a chromebook.
  4. Best wishes to anyone flying into SFO
  5. @guadaloopy this doesn't sound good. Can you reassure me?
  6. edit - pressed submit too soon this guy clearly knows (too much, if you ask me) about youngsters...discuss logic with a 3 yr old girl with a skinned knee? Someone call children services ffs
  7. A few of the women I follow, and men too tbh, want to be able to limit replies to posts to followers only. I've been seeing complaints about newly bad behavior/old xitter habits.
  8. I think around the same time Bobby said Kanu is "light in the loafers." Someone who knows Bobby should tell him that idiom doesn't mean what he thinks. He uses it often.
  9. I think yesterday or the day before Burton said Hero was "light in the loafers." Anyway fuck that. Hook Em!
  10. LAT article about Your Own Private Idaho Fire Hydrant https://archive.ph/Nz5j0
  11. To be clear I wasn't saying Argentina was a good alternative to Spain. That was a response to another post. Just meant, I think Argentina would be interesting to check out. I don't know if the tax can happen or not. I know that once the president of a country starts speaking punitively about immigrants resettling there, there's a wide range of possible outcomes. In Portugal it completely hosed the immigration system for 2 years and counting. I do get a chuckle that the (proposed) tax on non-EU housing purchases is primarily aimed the the Brits.
  12. The russians found a mine in the river but they never knew it
  13. Fun with grenades - might be a little too brutal (or tempting, depending on how you feel this week)
  14. Over 30,000,000 user count
  15. Reading this with a British accent makes it sound much less threatening and possibly more inviting.
  16. Well as for the pepper grinder, I bought it for my wife last xmas, and she's disliked every other pepper grinder we've ever owned. Bought it and forgot it. The only time I even remember we have the thing is when she tells me how much she likes it. I definitely wouldn't buy it for me alone but I'm not a cook in any way whatsoever. However I like that it's nice and compact, has a large capacity, and easily fits into our cabinet. She likes how quickly and smoothly it outputs a huge amount of fresh ground pepper (it's called the pepper cannon for a reason), is non-slip, and an easy fit to the hand. We don't have to leave it on the kitchen counter or table, and it's extremely easy to refill or measure from, due to the end cup. If you want a teaspoon of pepper from a Peugeot, for example, it requires 40 cranks while the Mann does it in 4. If you've ever become uncomfortable with how long a restaurant server stands over you at the table cranking a Peugeot (or similar) while you wait for the amount of pepper you want on your salad, you understand. Also the Peugeot does best with a smaller type of peppercorn - not the tellicherry that's most common in the US.
