I had amazing ramen in Estonia. It was run by a Japanese lady though so I’m not sure that counts.

Someone decompiled it and there’s now versions of it available on the play store and other places. It is a real blast from the past.

I just discovered this yesterday and went all the way down that rabbit hole. Holy moly they are really trying to beat down on the guy trying to do the right thing. That police department is NASTY.

It looks like he has some good lawyers coming his way though. Looking forward to the second part of the civil rights lawyer’s video (and part three of his own).

Holy cow that first camera is just so full of genius engineering.

Another thing after talking to my wife is that there are a lot of large American families and children vie for the attention of others, which means having to speak up and over their siblings which sort of trains us to be that way.

Mmmm, it’s a theory I suppose but I have a large family. Our dinner table is busy but not loud (except with raucous laughter which is semi frequently in fairness). Cross conversations go on all the time, it’s just the nature of lots of people at a table.

My own experience with American tourists is that it’s a volume thing. Interestingly I don’t recall noticing it as much while visiting the states but definitely slightly louder than other cultures.

Sounds like you won’t have any issue anyway.

Good luck with the move! I’ve never heard anyone come back from Australia with a bad word to say about it and lots of my fellow countryfolk do a year there (including my sister and bestie).

TIL there is more than one type of Eid holiday. I thought it was only after Ramadan which was back in March.

Nail on the head. I know I’m gonna enjoy a Tom Hanks movie, and he was really great in some roles, but if Frances McDormand is on the ticket my socks are gonna be blown off. That woman is art to watch.

Edit: Willem Dafoe and Olivia Coleman also. There are obviously loads more but they all really excite me to see in a movie.

Ireland has Gaelic football too so you have to figure out from context which football is being referred to.

We even play against the Aussies at a mix of the two football types occasionally which is called international rules.

Their lads are fucking massive as they play it professionally while Gaelic football is strictly amateur (all the money gets pumped back into local clubs which generally end up being very nice as a result).

It must be the 1% of the 1% of many fanbases.

Whenever Ireland are in a world cup, people start saving from the qualifiers so the rich are definitely there but it’s die hard footie fans that make up the bulk traveling.

It’s hard to overestimate just how much some people love the beautiful game. I remember the 2002 world cup which was in Korea / Japan and myself and my mates were getting up at unholy hours to watch all while murdering beers and screaming at the TV and I’m not even that into football.

When the mad cows disease was in the UK they were burned. Feels like that was about 25 years ago.

I teach all of my kids that “no” is a complete sentence. I want them to be very conscious of consent, but I also want them all to respect their own wishes.

Unrelated, I also teach them all how to throw a good punch and keep their god damned hands up and chin down as soon as I think they have enough self control not to abuse it.

Married 23 years. Not interested in other women but I find women generally to be beautiful. It’s like looking at art to me. Every painting has It’s own beauty. It’s just nice to look and appreciate then move on with my day.

leaving it behind isn’t as easy as they say it is.

He very much feels like Goebbels / Himmler to me. Amazes me that he feels straight up in the right but I guess they both did too.

That’s surprisingly decent. Fair play to them.

What?

That’s not what I learned, it was that she was wearing male clothing (for safety) then renounced that, then later ended up in male clothing (probably through coercion) and that was considered a renunciation, ergo murder.

She was fucked anyway from the get go after being caught by the English who had declared her a heretic early.

I just finished listening to the episode on her on half arsed history…

He is sorry. Sorry he got caught.

Well that’s fucking stupid. Can you see what’s in the modlog? I can’t look right now.

This is the biggest news story of the day IMO.

I can’t think of a single job it can replace.

Me either and I don’t think it ever will reach that. We’re already seeing diminishing returns.

The thing is it doesn’t need to replace a full job. If it improves productivity by 10% then that’s the number that will either lose their job or just not get hired in the first place.

I’m sure these are very worrying times for folks in college, especially computer science and the arts.

UBI seems like the only long term solution to me.
