Ugh, I hate that. I know the US is different, but in a lot of European countries, "my kids can't afford anywhere to live" is a MASSIVE factor in people voting for fascists.

I hope that there's a colossal gold-plated Trump statue because can you imagine the joy of seeing it toppled when all this is over?

No grass. It wouldn't do if any of his cabinet touched it.

Please, please let them install a giant gold-plated Trump statue. It will be so fun to see it toppled.

I love the stuff, but the use case is SALADS. You are not a salad.

Honestly, I knew we were off the rabbit hole and down the map with the mass coverage of Angelenos walking

See, a big thing about Dutch bike safety that I think is often underestimated is that everyone starts out as a child cyclist. It really changes the empathy equation.

Yeah, because this is a situation where the behaviour comes from a mindset where the perpetrators genuinely don't think they're doing anything wrong. Changing that mindset is going to be very difficult, but hard consequences might change the behaviour.

This is why, while infrastructure is great, I really do believe in the "drivers will do hard time for hitting someone" paradigm

Point. Also, an entry-level machine that's been used to learn on and then left to gather dust for years is probably not going to be in great working order. I don't think I'd buy a used machine from a private individual, because there are so many moving parts and I don't know what I'm looking at.

You do not want to know the words I used when I realised I'd started cutting without the seam allowance.

I'm so sorry. They claw up your heart when they go.

The magazines are printed that way, but Burda also does individual patterns printed on tissue. I'm making these PJs for the spouse right now.

Oh, that's weird. Because spinning wheels that are still functional for producing yarn will always find takers, and I'd have thought it's a similar market.

I was just about to ask whether that leaves Burda as the last one standing.

I'm interested to see what's going to happen with the World Cup too.

This is why one should never make fun of somebody mispronouncing a word. It means they READ the word and decided it was useful, why would you discourage that?

It's good stuff.

I actually taught myself to like cilantro, because I thought that it would be easier to get used to it than to pick it out of half the world's cuisine. Now I think it's delicious, so I can only assume that I never had the gene but just wasn't used to the flavour.

Someone needs to tell him that it's perfectly OK to put mayo on banh mi. Everyone does in Vietnam.

Why would they assume that? School shooters tend to be disaffected young white male losers. Those poor kids and teachers though.

Reminding me that for next year, I really do have to get the sewing machine out and produce a series of gold-fringed Pride flags.

Well, the point about Freikörperkultur is uncoupling nudity from sex, a task it performs admirably if my visits to Berlin lakes are representative.

I honestly thought Penthouse Forum was older too.

In my hall of residence, it was kids who didn't understand certain basic facts about electricity and would plug kettle, toaster, hair straighteners etc into the same power strip and fire them all up at the same time.

Which is weird, because the Czechs and the Germans have been making beer-flavoured beer just fine for generations. Hell, in Germany it's illegal to call beer "Bier" unless it's beer-flavoured.
