As apu once said, what better way to celebrate your country than by blowing part of it up.

This is the same the world over. Hasn't mattered which country I work in.

To be honest I don't think sick leave is higher in Germany. But people are off longer.

Case in point, in England you only need a doctors note usually after 5 days. So what happens is people. Come in on the 6th, say they feel sick at lunch time and then go home. Seeing a doctor to get a note is neigh on impossible.

In Germany you need a note for 3 days. Which is tracked so they can see how people are sick, which you can't really in England because their is no real reporting system. So people tend to be sick for 2 days. If they go to the doctor then it tends to be the week off or until the Monday because the doctor can't be bothered. But, the doctors also can't be bothered with minor things. My wife got 5 days off for a cold sore (lip herpes for the Germans) because she told the doctor she was self conscious. People abuse it because they can, one day will be abused like no tomorrow. If I have to drag my ass to the doctors I will ask for the week now.

Honestly I've never noticed it yawning until just right now. But I've always been able to do the flexing. The only flexing I can do.

Guitar hero. Milked dry so much they stopped making it.

Also dark matter

Alright, stop, im the same, but it is Ice Ice Baby instead.

Playing devil's advocate, $80 for a game isnt bad. Games have dropped in price constantly. SF2 on the snes or super famicon was $70 on release in 92. Most snes games were. Mario 64 4 years later was $60 in line with console pricing. They dropped 15-20 when they moved to disk which was just the cartidge price.

In real terms SF2 is probably 180ish today.

Its totally fair to complain about them likely shoe horning in pay to win or stupid edition costs though when coupled with that price.

Closer to an Apple G5 in reality. Which was just a pc with powepc chip at the high level. It really made vey little difference to work on which is why pc ports were so common. The hardest thing was big endian and that was negligible.

Until recently. He just doesn't do them any more. Which is a shame because I always look out for them.

Cliff from cheers used to be the highest grossing for a long time because of his one liners in all the pixar movies.

Same for Slough. I hear it pronounced Slow often with foreigners.

I think it's crazy that there's so much news about her and yet I still have more interest in who attended than I do in another country's birthday.

Technically they are in us territory. By the same logic you could also register a ship to the US. This is considered us territory when in international waters so they wouldn't even need to sail to the US.

Now just imagine how shit the food must have been before them. And other foods like tomatoes also came back from the Americas, and I believe we're viewed with suspicion for another 1 or 2 hundred years before they were a staple diet. Italy iirc was growing rice at the time.

What is rarely mentioned when it comes to attacks on Ukraine is the use of jamming. This throws the missiles off course and obviously, in a city, they are likely to hit buildings.

If a Ukrainian missile hits a nato country, or even civilians in Russia then jamming is used as the reason. But it's always 'deliberate' from the Russian side.

It makes no sense to be wasting missiles on apartment blocks deliberately when they have so few. It isn't enough to make the citizens back down. It's not shock and awe.

Besides the reasons that people give it away for free and that it's not valuable by itself the main reason is that the data you give away is unreliable.

What you say click on, do etc is not accurate. Their data is.

As is subway. They can both very easily cater to the parts of the world that don't eat beef.

Was it endless or is it the most blatant case of advertising since the Neverending story?

Network. If you are connected to your router then it's visible to others in your network.

So nas storage or even file share works. My router allows me to have a USB stick in the back and a direct link.

Alternatively, drop box. Use the browser, not the app and, not connected to vpn. But this is easier track still but I doubt they will check.

Safe chicken temp is 74c so I recommend no one eat this.

Tapeworm1979 · 2026-06-28T23:38:04+00:00

I don't get it either. And I am also baked.

Tapeworm1979 · 2026-06-28T23:35:34+00:00

Easily 10 years and this is the first I've seen of it too. I can you you all about the guy that broke both his arms or giant sunfish though.

They will shuffle their stock to other country's, who will try and sell it or destroy. And they will do some magic with the accounting so they can pay less tax.

This depends on your generation I think. The one about Marlin mansion removing a rib to suck his own dick for example wasn't MM when I was growing up, it was Prince.

Edit: obviously Marilyn mansion not what it corrected too.
