And contrast this to what Japan/Tokyo has been able to achieve. Not equivalent of course given the population and density, but shows there are other ways

Seems it was Obayashi Corporation. Makes sense to have one of the largest construction and civil works companies from Japan involved. They do indeed understand the shake, rattle and roll.

The Waterview Tunnel in Auckland had some Japanese involvement as my daughter had a classmate from Japan who’s father moved to NZ to work on that project.
Don’t understand why go over that slip prone hill. There is the old railway that runs a bit further west which should show the way.

Nice. I used fresh squeezed grapefruit juice in my hop water. It tastes like hoppy Squirt as a result.

This Black Forest Rye ESB-ish ale has turned out most fine. Balances between sweet red currant and slight bitterness from the EKG hops. Wonderful foam that lasted well past half of the pint. Too easy to drink

I think we will see the 120s in the coming three or so months. JPY will become a safe currency along with the Euro and the Swiss Franc.

I will read this. Sounds similar to “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” by Kuhn

All best still warm from the oven. Goes down hill from there. Though I’m pretty OK with toasted (or better yet grilled with butter) banana bread

He has many opinions and is quite vocal. Typical Irish Setter in that regard.

Look up Irish Setter singing and playing piano. I’m pretty sure my boy could have a great rendition if he listens to Anita and Willy

Do they actually want to not only destroy the economy but also the USD so they can try to force a switch to cryptocurrency?
There is absolutely no sane logic to any of this. But techbro fantasies dance theougj their heads and continue to devastate the “normal” world.

He’s describing Fox News, right? Just a bit confused.

So he can further mess up NZ as he did with Air NZ.
And that supposed businessman running things in the US is doing so well at it.
So much spinning I’m going to vomit.

Maybe his review would actually be very glowing “a guilty pleasure unlike any other book I’ve laid jaws on”

My mother’s absolute favorite movie.
I once flew her from Chicago to Palo Alto so I could take her to see the restored version at the beautiful (also restored) art deco theater. Packard Foundation was responsible for the movie and theater restorations.

He looked very guilty and has studiously avoided going anywhere near it since. Not sure what review he would give.

Have been told that donkeys produce the best manure. Uni friend of my son was seriously trying to talk me into keeping donkeys.

Since the ftc.gov is a casualty of the current admin here is an archive link that Microsoft points to regarding password rotation. TL;DR not a good idea and no longer recommended

Do they have fennel seed in the sausages? Hard to find what I consider proper Italian sausage (as I would find in Chicago in New York so not based on anything I would know Italy proper) and I’m on the verge of just making my own.

Ah, that makes sense. I definitely would have only seen it on Syfy and not Showtime. And my kids (and my wife) would have definitely reacted to a nude scene when we all watched it when they were young.

There definitely wouldn’t have been when it was broadcast in the US. You watching some bootleg, uncut version?
