@RickiTarr Was just in Barcelona for a few days, where one in our group spoke fluent Spanish, tapas weren't free with drinks at any of the places we went to. Yes, cheaper than in the States, but far from free. Maybe outside Barcelona area?
I have been for 3 years, trying every single internet tip and trick. Buying cleaning products etc…
Yesterday I finally bit the bullet and emailed our maintenance staff to say that: “I need a new whiteboard, I've essentially tried everything and now there's just no white space left".
About an hour later, someone turned up and with kindness slowly removed the protective film I’ve been writing on for 3 years…
If you like chai, one of the better cups of milky chai in San Francisco is at Haraz Coffee House on Bush & Franklin. The Adeni / karak shai is similar in spirit (almost exactly identical) to Indian chai.
Trump's lawyer Blanche: There are a number of the jurors that we have social media posts for very much contrary to what they said. We don't want to confront them openly
Judge: They were not told it is an anonymous jury.
Trump's lawyer Blanche: Juror number 1 has a series of extraordinarily hostile Facebook posts-
Judge: Can I see them?... Was I handed the right thing? The sheet has 2 screen grabs
Okay, so last night I was on a date, and I asked hubs what he was up to at work, and he told me he learned Python, so he could write a program to help people troubleshoot computer problems on their own.
I ask him, "You're creating a program to replace yourself?"
Apparently, just the boring easy stuff he doesn't want to deal with, because he has better ideas about how he wants to use his time at work.
@Infoseepage@RickiTarr I spent a bit of time on a long excel if statement just so I wouldn't have to filter and manually update the few times a situation would occur.
@GottaLaff If only one of those jobs was to my son. He has been struggling to find something for almost a year now. Has a Master's in Biology and is just having no luck in the Bay Area. So frustrating to see him go through this.
Some Andreesen-Horowitz Crypto-Bro bloviates on a vision of Fascist San Francisco.
I hesitate to even give oxygen to a story like this, but it's just so fucking whack-a-doodle. It sounds a parody, or an April Fools joke, or a stand-up comic doing a... https://jwz.org/b/ykOm
... and I also feel the need to memorialize the event here and say that it's REALLY hard to cheer anymore for a goalie who gives up two shorthanded goals in 45 seconds
LOL The other "wrong key" story for me was in 2018 or 2019, when I ended up driving to a motel along old Route 66 and got room "6", took a shower, and collapsed in bed exhausted. A couple of hours later I was woken up by someone who ALSO had the key to room "6" and it ended up I had actually checked into "Room 9" but the key also worked for "Room 6". We just traded keys (not that we needed to, LOL).
Anyone else just... not particularly moved by travel? I don't necessarily dislike travel, but keeping a garden and a library is my preference 99% of the time. I find most travel stressful and disruptive, and I mostly do it to support books or see family.

A personal story about Donald Trump, Marla Maples. The “Carpet King” Bob Shaw, Adolph Hitler and my wife Martha.
@GottaLaff I never understood his appeal to so many long before he ran for president. And it absolutely floors me that people still follow him knowing who he is. It is just disgusting and depressing.
@moondog548@aintist@BlackAzizAnansi I raised my boys to question everything. Was annoying when they questioned me, but forced me to think and explain decisions with them. This is needed more.
@ryanhoulihan Have you ever applied to any job in Hawaii? Long long wait. First, to hear back. Second, to get a response between interview one and interview two, etc. Painful!!
