I did. I watch English Premiere League and was able to get Peacock for $25/year (ad supported) so I can watch more EPL games on Saturdays and get all the commentary shows.
I’m watching an episode of Bluey with my kids right now and they’re playing Pass the Parcel and Lucky’s dad is trying to stop the music on his phone but his touch screen isn’t working lol.
The US will begin air dropping food aid to the people of Gaza, President Joe Biden announced on Friday, as the humanitarian crisis deepens and Israel continues to resist opening additional land crossings to allow more assistance into the war-torn strip....
How is Tlaib going to explain to her constituents that supporting Trump - who pushed the Muslim ban and called them shithole countries - by proxy will help them?
Biden may not have the best foreign policy but it really is a fascist wannabe dictator who will absolutely support Bibi regardless or we can choose Biden who isn’t a fascist who at least has shown some pushback.
Yeah, it might be Cantonese actuall, if I’m not mistaken a lot of the residents in Chinatown in Chicago speak that. Just spam but in another language.
What’s odd is that all of these calls hang up if I bother to answer. So yeah, could be looking to see if active, and if that’s the case, there must be like a dozen different outfits doing this because nearly that many every day
KVMs are unreasonably expensive and my work was about to throw this one in the dumpster. I just need to order some console cables first but I’m really pleased.
Man I thought the other night was bad. Just got my new fizzy drink maker machine. Showed my kids how awesome fizzy orange juice is. I didn’t release the pressure after fizzing it up, remove the bottle and BOOM, fizzy OJ goes EVERYWHERE… ceiling, my face, walls, the clean dishes on the drying rack, windows etc etc. lol
Years ago when I visited Germany (a hotel in Heidelberg), there happened to be another American in front of me at the hotel. He asked for water. The young woman behind the counter, knowing he was American from his language and accent, said: “Would you like any gasoline in your water?”
He was very confused, and I couldn’t contain myself, bursting out in laughter. I stepped in and explained, she meant to say “gas” and was asking if he wanted still water or bubbly water. She knew most Americans didn’t drink carbonated water, at least then – a few years later brands like La Croix would sweep the country’s soccer moms all over the States.
We Americans think it’s funny but then I remember that these people know multiple languages and of course someone is going to get a word wrong here and there.
I also remember the four of us at dinner getting served waters and the waitress was saying “please” as she sat down each one on the coaster on the table. Which my understanding is that she was translating ‘bitte’ to English and that word has many meanings, one of them meaning please but can be used when your hand something over, if I’m not mistaken.
I’ve got a plain older countertop device with mini CO2 cartridges (with a cheap exchange program) for now. I am redoing my living room and study soon and will get a kegarator soon so I have it on tap.
I don’t need the flavors infused. But if I’m feeling fancy I’ll add a slice of lime or lemon, or both (usually when I need to use the rest of one after making dinner). Although it is my understanding this is certainly possible, adding flavours/syrups or what not.
Today was a good day. Watched my NFL team win a spot to the Superbowl in a bar and all I drank was soda. No drink, no smoke still. Able to see friends in potential trigger environments.
