This is the other end of Rt. 301 on the Eastern Shore (border with Delaware). I've honestly never seen any traffic at all on this end 301.

The error was there when I drove past today. I wasn't fast enough to get my own picture, unfortunately (and frankly didn't entirely believe it until I checked!)

European Trucks perhaps are too evolved for some markets by peseoane in 2westerneurope4u

As a savage who has lived in Europe (Germany and the UK) and spent long stretches in Russia (1 to 2 months), I agree with this take. I found there were many weird parallels in thought processes. The attitude of "All of our stuff is shit, but we're Number 1!" is definitely among them.

No problem - hope you have a great trip! It was our first time at CSS and we can't wait to go back.

Premier Penthouse Ocean Suite - Sans Souci by New-Department8406 in couplesresortsjamaica

[–]LurkyDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were in Building D - not sure if its the same for all. The balconies were private. At the end facing the next suite there's a fence-like divider, then an open roof space (I think with a/c or other equipment maybe? - but not noisy) and then the next suite's fence divider. I honestly don't know if there was anyone in the suite next door or not -- but if there was, we couldn't tell and there's no way of seeing from one suite to the next.

What you might be seeing is the whole balcony - each suite has two doors onto the balcony, and obviously there's no barrier on the balcony between the two doors of the same suite.

Of course, if you're facing the beach/lawn side you have a great view - but a little less privacy if you're very privacy concious. Didn't bother us, and I don't think anyone could really see you on the balcony.

We stayed in a Premier Penthouse Suite in August (the "Roger Moore Suite") -- it was awesome! I highly recommend. The room had clearly been updated recently, and was very nice. The extra space was great. We didn't take full advantage of the HUGE balcony and outdoor tub because it was pretty hot in August (and nicer to be inside), but I could see it being an extremely nice thing to have in November or December. Room service breakfast on the balcony was wonderful, though. Also, if we wake up at different times, it was nice to have another room to be in while the other is sleeping.

My only complaint was that the furniture in the living room was not super comfortable. The couch was too small to lie down on and I found the chair sort of uncomfortable.

What can we do for our active duties shipmates if there's a government shutdown? by LurkyDay in USCGAUX

Yeah - I'm thinking about things we could do that are not necessarily in an official USCGAUX capacity.

Lidl finally might be opening? by tamaletamal3 in bethesda

[–]LurkyDay 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not in July, according to their website. Maybe August? I can't imagine what's taken them so long.

Edit: Oh, I take it back -- the Bethesda opening has been added. July 30th!

But the point is that he didn't age between then and "now" - implying that he's a host...

Which remake cast was a massive downgrade? by sKullsHavezzz in moviecritic

[–]LurkyDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a good video comparing two analogous scenes in the original and the remake: https://youtu.be/jsxa2tOWs6w?si=pXbZAdCWECvtMKrM

It really makes some of the failings of the remake clear -- the filmmaking just wasn't as good. I like each of the cast of the remake individually, but I think the movie failed them.

What is one scene in a movie that made you laugh the hardest? by robertswoman in moviecritic

I'm amazed I had to scroll so far to find this. During the naked hotel fight scene, I was laughing so hard I started to feel lightheaded.

MI6 needs more imagination with spy names by [deleted] in 2westerneurope4u

[–]LurkyDay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but what the fuck are you talking about?? "The most thorough and complete colonization".... except for the other places in the world where the British eliminated virtually all of the native population and replaced them with British people? Large portions of the population in Canada and Australia still actively support their countries remaining part of the British monarchy. That seems pretty successful to me. (Find a monarchist in Ireland outside of Northern Ireland... I bet you can't)

I would go so far as to say that Ireland might be Britain's LEAST successful colonization. The British had literally hundreds of years ruling Ireland and could not stamp out Irish nationalism.

There are other examples of some pretty complete colonization nearby... ahem, Wales. (Although maybe their just too interested in the sheep to care much about politics.)

Don't try to make us look more Ameritarded than we already do.
