You want sources? Here you go. Read the filings yourself, you filthy animals:
Notice of 2024 Annual Meeting & Proxy Statement: s204.q4cdn.com/701424631/fi...
Form 10-K SEC Annual Report: s204.q4cdn.com/701424631/fi...
Don't fuck with me. I'll spend another three hours in Excel. I don't care.

Would love to hear if it worked out. There is a reveal that is super heartwarming that is interesting.

I have played it (many times). Came here to make this recommendation specifically.

Omg. I’ve literally only read Crying of Lot 49 (twice). Welp, guess I gotta update my kindle library.

Again, I’m a guy who studied abroad there and took a few months of intensive language classes, so giant bits of salt. But as I learned it you’d repeat the word for “good” or “yes” and use vocal inflection along w how much repetition to get to the equivalent of “better” etc

We went to somewhere in Hungarian speaking Romania for a folk festival and I remember sitting on the top of a small mountain and looking down at the valley and thinking, “and that’s a really good place for the horse people to come in off the steppes”

Do you know if it’s part of the language group to have the thing (I don’t know the name) where you don’t have e.g., good, better, best? Or is that a uniquely Hungarian thing?

Hungary is just this wild island linguistically. So cool.

I only took one semester (and am no linguist) so I’ll take your word for it. It was so hard to learn, three months as a college student and I never learned to pronounce sör (beer) in a way that was communicable.

Semi-related? I love the fact that Hungarian is non Indo European and is only—apparently—related to Finnish

Exactly, I should have done more like ten, but I wanted to watch the Formula 1 race as a treat.

you could always use apple maps, which (apparently) does not know the express lanes exist.

Apparently, some of the confusion over the em dash (or long hyphen, as I saw it called) was that people just didn’t know it existed. It is on the first page of GOODNIGHT MOON, for god’s sake.

Now I’m thinking about the effect of having English as the lingua franca for global elites on our little global coffee house salon.
Mostly vis a vis rura/culturally conservative political groups in counties where English is not particularly widespread.

My mom taught me how to do a bow tie on the side of the road by a peach stand on my way to senior prom and I’ve never forgotten.

I’m 5 foot 8 and my constant battle w a regular tie (aka not a bow tie) is nailing the length. To get a good knot and dimple I’m always close to having the back half be longer.

Have you liked the last two? I really wanted to love them, but felt the most recent was a tremendous disappointment.

Would have loved to have seen the people actually come out of the cards and then Mat fight them. That scene, along with the fight after he is healed of the dagger, are seared in my 15-year-old brain.

Awesome, I really enjoyed the coverage last season. I’ve only watched the premiere and enjoyed it, but as a book reader I’m… intrigued to confused on some of the decisions.
IIRC evil bubbles go away as plot point, so giving that to Lanfear makes some sense. 1/2

Also lots of brands engage in “vanity sizing” and just lie about what the size is (looking at you A.P.C.).

And that’s before getting into sanforized vs unsanforized, which is different from raw vs not raw (or one-wash).
Raw unsanforized can stretch up to 10%, but you also have to factor in shrink from your first wash/soak.

I only had access to Nick at Nite during a few weeks each summer. Welcome back Kotter looms way larger in my mind than in the larger cultural consciousness, so I guess that my pick from that “genre.”

I’m not a complete sicko, currently making some jasmine for gumbo. (I don’t have Carolina Gold on hand so I must make do.)

Maybe I’ll give it another go, I don’t remember any specific problems with it, just bouncing off it quite hard.
Currently having my first go at Titus Groan

In all seriousness: Ancillary Justice, Children of Time, maybe Book of the New Sun.
It’s been a hot minute but I’d softly recommend the entire Justice series if you like the first.

Can’t find the article, but the 2 over 5 thing is also a creature of nationwide(ish) regulations. These IMO are almost universally terribly built & won’t last more than 30/40 years & will be a huge problem because I can’t imagine the major repairs needed will be profitable/affordabe (rental v condo)

This is part of it, or at least if find the single stairway problem persuasive. www.nfpa.org/news-blogs-a...
