A few unsalted mixed nuts from Costco, when I woke up at 2:30 this morning.

Not European, but Napoleon is high quality and Canadian.

Morrowind.

Ages ago I got a new video card that came with bundled games, including the slightly-old Morrowind.

That was the intro for me to deep RPGs, and I fell hard.

A few weeks ago I decided to revisit it, and went with Open-MW and a vanilla experience.

So awesome.

The Martian.

Aside from the macguffin that left Matt Damon stranded, the science was solid. Furthermore, the casual dysfunctionality and administrative infighting of the governments and agencies was brilliantly on point.

Toenail growth.

Cutting nails is annoying, and toenails are awkward and stupid.

If we're talking about a bar/restaurant, then the amount of alcohol in a drink is regulated and consistent.

That said, if the total volume of ice and water is consistent, then 10ml of the liquid portion of a drink on the rocks will have more alcohol than 10ml of the liquid/ice mixture in a blended margarita, at least until the ice cubes melt.

Far more importantly, a margarita on the rocks is a superior drink. :-)

In a nutshell...

They're not here for your benefit, they're here for their own profit.

If they could make money with flashing lights they would, even if they had to deal with lawsuits from people who had seizures from it.

They don't cate what you like. They don't care what you want. You are nothing more than a commodity they can sell.

Now that you mention it...

No, not really. It had never occurred to me before, and as I hear them in my head right now, they're just not that similar.

But that's me.

No he doesn't.

The only 'big plans' he has for the arts, like education, is to burn it all down.

Stop giving him credit for just 'being different' instead of being a Nazi psychopath.

Don't even bother reporting this drivel.

Sooner or later, all protests in the US will turn into this kind of protest. I suspect quite soon.

 

In Canada at least, Melitta coffee filters are manufactured in the US.

Technivorm are made in The Netherlands.
