"It is noteworthy to point out that in Spanish or English, there are no expressions of time that go any further than two days into the past or the future;"

I'll think about this more next week.

Classic. Spending the revenue before it shows up.

"I can put myself in their office or at their desk and demand they help me."

What is going on in your organization?

Bonus army would disagree there. Dispersed with tanks.

They have to be to preserve their culture. The us population vastly outnumbers them and most of populated Canada is within a couple hours drive from the US. If there wasn't a strong border they'd end up being assimilated quickly.

I can't tell if this is profound or not. It's just an arrowhead.

Again, this was in Belgium.

I remember getting addicted hard to find those booster packs. It's funny we always look down on the people that would buy single cards from binders though

You didn't read the part about it being in Belgium?

Yeah I mean it doesn't capture the people that moved after wfh was implemented. Hybrid is appealing if your office is 500 miles away.

Claiming it's hybrid is disingenuous imo.

This was really hard to read.

Some component of silk provided some sort of health benefit.

I was installing laptops with windows 3.11 for workgroups in the 90s to get the tcpip stack.

Seems like an example of being too early to the market.

I mean you had BBS' but what else. Did this even do TCPIP? Windows didn't get a TCPIP stack till 3.11 right?

Exactly this.

Americans aren't even familiar with English.

"People will have tracking devices in their cars, they’ll track them to the intermodal hub, or track them to the port and local police can’t even go on and do anything about it,” he said."

Now that's funny.

I am not sure if there is some context to "neopagan" that I don't know, but I knew wiccans in the military in 1990.

Wow, 2 days for a fix, over a weekend.

Do you want to take the risk of losing your home just to start a business?

Interesting possibilty but it seems like the "discovery" story is too complex and unbelievable.

Probably some oversensitivity to the idea of "cultural appropriation " which is interesting considering the main ingredients besides Sichuan peppercorn is chili peppers .

I was the same way when I was young, then I found out about books going out of print and then later, library book sales, and then even later, about librarians actively culling their book collections to make room for newer books.

The Starbucks I've been too in the last two years (NE Ohio, Massachusetts) have all been like that. Creamer and sweeteners are behind the counter now. Seating is harsh and uncomfortable. The floors are dirty now. The whole experience is hostile.

They should have the goats eat cannibis to make it the perfect product.

I mean that says everything doesn't it.

CA still spends more than everyone else, regardless of Prop 13. Hardly deprived students.

So they rebuild the bridge with taxpayer money. And spend the next 20 years suing Maesk for the cost. And the Feds eventually lose.

How is this a complication? The Federal government has no issue spending billions and billions of future tax payers taxes.

Also the incentive of not having their companies effectively nationalized and put to work building some one else's product.

They were captured by one party a long time ago.

Protect democracy from the demos.

The subtext here is that the big seasonal employers can find anyone to work locally. And all the other businesses can't pay people enough to work on the lowest tier jobs. Pay people enough that won't hit their bottom line. So you really have the very rich and the somewhat rich fighting it out here. The solution would be temporary housing that is 20 miles away that they could bus in the workers but no one likes the way that would look.
