I’m thinking more like someone convinced Don Jr to get the name rights, then ran off with the 5 figures.

Yah, or check out by noon. There’s no universal time for either of these things.

That’s why I said “continental France” and certainly didn’t edit my typo.

I’ve seen variability, but 9:00am seems a bit earlier than usual. I feel like 10:00 is the standard, unless it’s a corporate hotel focused on business clients. Or maybe I’m staying at places that expect me to stay out late.

Well, and it’s crazy how cold the middle and eastern parts of North America get.

Boston and Chicago are famously cold cities. Chicago is exactly parallel with Rome; Boston is only 50km north of Rome. Rome, Barcelona, even Tblisi - all about 10+ degrees C (so 20 degrees F) more mild in the winter than Chicago. The entirety of continental France, including its southern coast, is north of Boston. Paris is almost far enough north to be exactly at the long E-W US/Canada border. Yet rarely gets below freezing.

And Yoyodyne Propulsion

It’s possible they were mis-applying a non-Zen concept that because of reincarnation, each life is about experiencing things, both good and bad. So bad things are things you signed up for in this life to see what it’s like.

Or, if they meant “deserved,” that’s way more juju karma magic stuff, in some viewpoints.

Two great options to choose from!

I’ve lived in 5 developing countries for work, though 2 are really only developing outside of urban areas, and 5 places in the US. Spouse and I still can’t even agree on a place to want to live, but our criteria is super picky.

It’s worth also saying that to move from your home is very much a personal decision, and not everyone is into that. I value understanding a people and a place, not travel for the sake of IG posts. Without leaving the US, I got the hell out of the small town where I was raised because there were no opportunities to grow as a person. Not because I wanted to go to college in a place with a Starbucks.

Sometimes people need to step back and see if they’re just stuck thinking the grass is always greener somewhere else. Humans love to compare things.

There’s a time to appreciate where you are, a time to leave to improve yourself or your situation, and a time to fix where you are rather than leave.

Which almost seems like the reverse double con.

There was never a phone in the first place. Never expected to be. It was all a scam to get lefty YouTubers to buy a thing that doesn’t exist because they were going to shit all over it.

This is the only answer I’ll accept as real, and I have logged it in my head cannon. Thank you for your service.

Attaching rocket thrusters to small moons, probably.

Obligatory OK Tyler Durden.

The hammer, the sickle, and the communal pee jug!

I’m OK!

Ok.

I agree with you, and the part that always sinks this within SW is that all he did was put together a very commonly used droid from spare parts. Protocol droids are all over the place!

Is it impressive to put together a Honda Civic from spare parts in your spare time? Yes. But it’s also just a matter of collecting the right parts and having the time to assemble them right. No one is inventing anything new, and it always seemed like that was what EP1 was trying to sort of say.

Cool, thanks for the explanation.

Wrong how? I just like Swedish style bitters. I make them myself at home. Malort is like the light version.

Fair. I still get a lot of use out of a Leatherman I’ve had for 20+ years.

100% agree.

Once tasted a 20-year bourbon that was so good, it ruined decent stuff like Woodford for a week for me. If I only knew what decent stuff was like, I wouldn’t have any idea how great something can really get.

Malort broke Chicago containment? SMH

Nashville doesn’t have enough Scandis to have a tradition of medicinal bitters, which is what malort is based on. It’s an invasive species there, like kudzu or Asian carp.
