Had me all like “fuck yeah! they can’t even pronounce can’t” and then you didn’t capitalize “english”. This is turning out to be a good therad.

Same, but for the simple reason 'government' is already a way too broad brush, regardless of what country but especially in democracies where they change periodically. And then there's the different branches, layers, leaders, parties, factions, individual politicians and elected and unelected...

"Anybody got anything good to say about the government of there their country????" Oh oh oh... sure! Oh.... Man... I was gonna say roads too. I'm going with dikes then. In addition to the usual branches of government we got an extra branch just for water management. Keeps me feet dry. Go...

Apparently I'm doing a stress test... I don't want to leave the lights on when I'm not at home for more than a couple of hours and I haven't been home much at all the past week. I already switched to 12/12, but then they got 24 hrs light, 48 hours dark, some 3 hr light days, it's been a mess...

I had them all, the answers, illuminating ones too, perhaps the greatest in the world, but then I read Tyler's disclaimer in tiny letters: "I'm not looking for nerdy answers.".

Yesterday’s leftover dinner, beef and mushrooms slowcooked in rosemary beef broth, wrapped in pastry dough. Yesterday’s dinner. Aside from eating it, really enjoy cooking this. One pan aside from the mashed (sweet and regular) potatoes and a little pan to boil the fluids into a sauce. Pretty...

Abroad, but not in NL. Which is not a densely populated country but a sparsely populated city. You can literally see the next town/city from almost everywhere or hear the cars zooming over the nearest highway.

Finally some lazy (grass-) beach days… Location requires a drive through a tiny town with maybe 5 stores of which one is a bakery: Bun with baker’s cream Apple and strawberry thingies.

Today in Woke News Global: The street Eskimolane in Dronten is renamed to Icerinklane. Local research has shown people might experience the label 'Eskimo' as offending. The 7 companies in the street will received 500 euros compensation each, for the hassle involved in changing their address...

I remain flabbergasted a speaker has so much power, directly and indirectly. Yes the argument for not trusting him is clear, though I do get the impression he, even his predecessor, doesn't want to be just a puppet but actually fill the position of speaker. But what's the argument for supporting...

The US 'violating' the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in regards to cannabis, on a federal level, is by itself already good news and a good example for other nations where the same treaty is used as an excuse to not regulate production and sale.

28C / 82,4F degrees tomorrow, no clouds, barely any wind "Van dis about vokken time, Summer is hier So gryp 'n cold one en gooi 'n chop op die vuur" Goosebumps every year.

Sitting at a table with a bunch of family and my wife, after a few wines, asks the waitress, maybe 21 y/o, good looking, if she can take a pic, stressing everyone needs to be in it. I (in my head lol) was like yeah right it's not a 360degree camera why oh why are you putting that poor nice girl...

The chips in front is krupuk (shrimp chips). The yellow stuff is atjar (acar) tjampoer. Normally goes with nasi. It's sort of a restaurant spin-off of the Indonesian nasi and chicken satay I posted a few times in this thread. But with fries instead of fried rice and the satay is pretty much...
