Costco polish dog (from the freezer aisle, since they stopped selling the real ones at the counter). Mustard, catsup. That’ll do great. Oh, but make sure to grill it! Yeah, now I’m hungry.

That’ll do! Let’s hit the pub.

I had one of the 10" eeePC machines for years. That thing was a tank. It did everything I needed it to, especially weird networking configurations. The battery also lasted over 6 hours. I mostly ran Crunchbang #! Linux on it.

I don’t think I could live on a 10" screen anymore, but back in the day it was a dream machine.

Nice. Germany has some good visa programs for skilled workers. If you’ve got the credentials, the consulates will work with you on immigration and it’s not a very onerous system.

The hotel itself was nice, and the balcony had a great view. The problem was the mattress. It was so soft that it provided zero back support. No other options were available.

The net result was both my wife and I ended up with month long back muscle spasms. It taught us a lot about how to resolve back issues, but it’s not a lesson I wanted from a relatively expensive hotel in Leavenworth, Washington.

Show Toronto how Paris built 13 tram lines in the last 20 years. Make sure to do it in Parisian French too.

Of course my city is delaying the construction of a fucking BUS line to 2030 because the freeway build out (which is about 3 miles away from the someday bus line) is delayed. Why these two are connected, the public isn’t sure. Given my city’s ineptitude, at least Toronto is trying at all so I can’t throw any bricks.

Edit: but we did declare a downtown parking garage a historic building and put it on the historic register so we have that going for us.

It’s also California: the weather is usually really good. Maybe this “Becker” should add an amendment that requires bike roads to be built instead of parking spots.

I assume he’s against being proactive in problem solving, though.

Chicago’s flag is a masterwork.

My city did a redesign about five years ago. Our flag was in a D to F tier flag ranking. After the redesign it’s much better, but still feels like a logo more then a flag. At least they got rid of the written slogan, though!

Props to Chicago. Put that flag on everything.

I’m hoping Milwaukee adopts of the People’s flag of Milwaukee soon. That’s a serious banger too.

Yeah, the US has reached an incredibly low standard of literacy for what is supposed to be a developed nation. The numbers on reading level are scary. Also look at how much people read as adults. We just don’t learn how and then we don’t practice during our lives. It’s a nation of partial literacy being kept together my hyper nationalism and smart phones to distract us with 6 second videos.

And he needs money! He just can’t handle it so he needs more.

Ah yes, yet another way to control and hurt women. The whole idea of medical care during birth is based on situations where you happen to need it. If things go well, they go well. Being at the hospital or having a midwife is about when things go off the rails. The vast majority of people want you and your child to survive childbirth, which is a dangerous and difficult process for many out there. Anyone who says “just don’t have help you might need, it’ll be fine” is either a liar or actively trying to harm you.

This is just another branch of “under the hood” religious nutjobiness like Tradwives which all boils down to active alt-right control over women.

You passed the one that matters: you’re interested in having a democracy.

According to one of our adjuncts: “Windows just works for dev, why are we teaching Linux at all?”

He didn’t last.

I don’t know much about Poundland, but I know they’re no liars about their advertising. Everything, including the business itself, went for a pound.

I salute them for their consistency!

It’s not a conservative’s problem until it effects them personally. By then it’s usually too late, but at least they feel bad about that one issue for a while.

I build a bridge out of our pillows. Two bor the base, then one spanning a small gap. I put my Earthward arm’s hand up the the gap and my head on the bridge pillow.

Nothing falls asleep improperly.

Don’t worry, that was plenty of information for most of us. I spent all too many hours on an i286 machine, but I recall nothing else about the system.

This is the THIRD time the Republicans have cancelled funding to my research projects over the course of 15 years. This country isn’t conducive to stable research work.

The projects cancelled were on senior care tech with smart homes, augmented reality to help prevent falls, and air quality feedback to help people during wildfire seasons. No exactly hotbeds of controversial topics, but having my career and livelihood jerked around against and again by these assholes is enough for me to go. The lastest bend to fascism was just the nail in the coffin.
