Mildly reclusive American living in Europe.
Tends to get truculent about movies, music, the Oxford comma, and politics
"if I did die it would shock people, but it wouldn’t surprise anybody."
Rudy ran out of hair tar
Skipped the hair dye today. It's not like he's going somewhere fancy like The Four Seasons (Landscaping) or anything
Irish-Americans found an affinity for corned beef as they finally had access to meat and especially beef. They initially lived in and near Jewish neighborhoods, so, it became popular to boil up corned beef, cabbage, and root vegetables.
Some counties charge booking fees, which they charge when someone is arrested but not convicted of anything. They release people and they have some number of days to pay the fee and will get a warrant if that doesn't happen. Essentially generating charges for someone who may not have done anything wrong. That's real shady
Edit: counties, not countries
Honest question. Why does Canada seen to hate using adjectives? "Canada goose", "Canada day", "Canada town"...
I wish I was there. And it was closer to Christmas. I haven't seen real snow since I moved to Germany and never a white Christmas. When I was a kid in Michigan, we would get 70cm a day, over and over, from October to May
No, that was something earlier when he quit NBC when Jay Leno wanted a show again and Conan didn't want them to change the time of the show from what Carson had. He did a live show. I can't remember what it was called, but it was something like "banned from TV". He was mostly looking for a way to keep taking care of his employees: as he always did, including out of his own pocket during the last, previous writer's strike.
Suffering under more natural disasters than anywhere in Europe.
There's therapists for—well—therapy, doctors for medication, and social workers for problem living situations. However, the time away is just a break; a person has to continue all three of those aspects after they leave. Inpatient treatment is just to get started.
Are asylum-seekers illegal? Anyone crossing the border could be an asylum seeker.
"attack stabbed". He was really serious
I’m here to provide levity
She makes much more sense when you know that's what she thinks a US representative's job is
Meant to prevent misfires. The trigger doesn't directly cause firing: there's a hammer to strike the primer
I agree that he and Liz Cheney are the only ones showing any spine but I'm pretty sure I heard Kinsinger say he had to fall in line and vote for Trump in 2020
You're wild
Now? When was it not?
I had a bad experience with the Bluetooth on Sennheiser and got so frustrated I broke them into little pieces and threw them away. I've since bought two pairs of Bang & Olufsen and have been happy. It seems they have a sort of light pink on at least one of the models
I guess the radio is a bit more efficient
So many questions.
How can you tell if a graveyard is abandoned?
If a grave is empty, is it a grave?
How did you know it was empty?
And still my first aid teacher to get my German driver's license said that the survival rate for people whose heart stops is worse in Germany than the US
"healthy" is inherently a positive word. It's like trying to turn "happy" negative. You could change the form and put the risk on that noun: "....found to be a risk to ones health/happiness"
I know. This song rocks. Kate Pierson just belting like no one else
Those are just esoteric or poetic uses. It's perfectly fine to just say "it" in all those cases, but there is still a distinction for people. It's worth considering the possibilities of that disappearing as well. In any case, we don't conjugate differently for genders
What is "basic school supplies" for you? In Europe, there is a list of basic supplies students need and the displays show up in stores around July: things like pencils, pens, erasers, paper, binders, folders, punches, staplers/staples, paper clips, correction fluid... There's a lot
Shirley Manson?
I know. I wasn't trying to be pedantic or even serious, but I couldn't pass up calling out the use of "literal" on that occasion
Have you seen the meat? It literally pours out grease. Fun fact: a main ingredient of döner meat is chicken skin.
I'm sure there is a range of quality.
Any döner sold for €3.50 contains largely skin.
I think she's too ignorant and incompetent to truly be evil
"'Friend' helps drug, film being gang raped, and force a Hindu woman to consume beef" but I would change the order to go from least to worst, whatever you decide that to be.
They do, but he can't afford it anymore
The one specific models I'm nostalgic for are the IBM ps/2 30 & 50.
It originally referred to a camera, so a meme to draw attention to poor quality pictures--"camera is potato" and then "potato quality"
Just happy when my long internet history can actually contribute something.
That's exactly my experience with a CP1525nw I've had for a dozen years. Kernel support and Android prints fine to it directly since at least the last several versions. I have been using off-brand toner and have had mixed results with some, but it's cheap enough that it doesn't bother me to replace a full cartridge if that happens
Sure, then it's the opposite, but it can't be neutral like the OP wanted.
Literally? Are you sure you've seen their pictures?
I believe 911 will work without even a provider. I've obviously never tried it. Maybe without a card even
