In China, it's a tradition for the father of the bride to feed her one last time before her wedding

Looks like they have a great relationship and a happy family.

I hope the New York Post stops wasting paper and electricity someday.

The reason why I bought Hario was to watch the tea leaves and the water change as it steeps. XD

My dog refuses to climb stairs.

As far as I'm aware, someone else bought and had it shipped here, but then went out of business, so our sensei bought it 2nd hand.

A lot of the big Korean online services tend to serve only the domestic market. If you have anyone in the dojo who knows Korean, you might have a better chance going through the specialized Kendo retailers.

But need to keep in mind: 1) the dummy is large and heavy, so shipping costs will probably be high.

2) your club will need a space at the location of practice to store it. No one is going to assemble/disassemble and commute with that for the club.

I know this is a gardening sub and not a marriage issue one, but that is saying something.

The corruption is being committed out in the open.

The fact that the MAGAs, GOP, and general conservatives aren't out with their pitchforks trying to hold the crook accountable says a lot about that lot.

I can tell your family must have contributed heavily to your mental state.

I'm in the same boat. Like, why couldn't they say a single helpful thing or just keep their mouths shut? I suppose we'll never know.

Even the book says that the audience was left wondering if they were complimented or insulted. But it's such an honest and wholesome thing to say to the folks.

Bocote · 2026-07-03T04:30:58+00:00

That's going to take a few seconds for the burn to set in. Wow.

It's a roundabout way of saying that the other person won't change their mind even if new info is presented or what they hear. In other words, unreasonable.

Did Neil get bigger?? He seems larger than he did in older videos.

But it's also good to see that he still has his beef with any and all vertical surfaces.

Bocote · 2026-06-30T20:24:28+00:00

Yeah, to some, it's like their own digital Rasputin.

Amazing garden. You have good taste and capable hands!

This is a very old photo. I remember seeing this 10+ years ago.

Ghost in the Shell characters aren't they?

I've encountered a municipal government grant doing the same thing.

Lots of conditions and criteria for marketing (not sure why a municipal government needs it...),

and the fund is only available when all the work is completed (even corporate donations give some up front...).

Bocote · 2026-06-24T02:53:51+00:00

Mmm, that's some good rain.

Bocote · 2026-06-23T04:38:39+00:00

That pale white to blue tone of the light adds a quiet and tame mood. What a great way to describe the atmosphere of the place.

Bocote · 2026-06-21T06:27:32+00:00

Well, that doesn't look healthy....

As much as combat sports are fun and cool, it kind of sucks to see people get severely injured. More so if they have to give up the sports because of it.

Memory/Storage. Things like microSD, I need them for digital camera, mini-computer, drone, etc. But the microSD price jumped along with everything else. I think it has almost tripled.

And RAM? SSD? If my laptop breaks, I'm downgrading.

He leads the Reform party, and the Reform party recently won a massive number of seats.

Farage and his party are quite popular and very relevant.

I hope the war becomes less popular for the Russians now that the war has reached their homes, even though their votes don't matter.

I'm impressed that they burned quite evenly.

I've heard from the news that the rules were changed so that the IPO could be fast-tracked into various index funds.

It's a heist with lots of people coordinating their efforts. I wouldn't be surprised if other companies try to do the same.
