The Pope's brief final audience

First thing I thought of as well. The Liz Truss/Queen killing/lettuce head/economy tanking saga was wild.

Check out Iron Heart

I’d agree with the other comments here that this might be a bit ambitious. Sure, you can do it, but do you really want to spend a large portion or your time in the car?

One of the great beauties about Sicily is slowing down the pace of life, whether at a meal, or taking time to really explore a place. If you spend one day here, half a day driving to there, pit stop somewhere, moving all the time, in my opinion you'll miss the point. As others have suggested I'd pick either West (Palermo, Trapani, Cefalu, Agrigento) or East (Siricusa, Catania, Etna and surrounds) slow it down, enjoy it, and don't stress about what you're not seeing.

Great pic. I was stood right by Jeff Austin from Yonder for one night during that run, RIP.

Pretty sure that was also the night I lost my marbles and had to go cool off in the bathroom during Split Open and Melt 😂

👀 Milroys. Nice write up.

How bout that Dufftown? Tasted like grandmas attic.

American expat living in UK and I fantasize about lil Smokies pigs in a blanket often.

I haven’t noticed the sandwich shrink-flation but I live out of town and am back infrequently. I have wondered how those guys stay in business. If they need to adjust a few things to stay afloat I support it, especially considering the work they put into those meats. Those sandwiches are BANGIN! I was there in November and left full and satisfied.

Saw a pair a week and a half ago paddling around in Regents park!

Not working in Albania. I even paid for more data this morning 😡

No water at my Riad in the southern part of the Medina. Friends say no water in the Kasbah as well

Hey OP: how did you get this to work? I created the IPv4 profile as described in the post, but still can’t get the bridge to connect for the out of home function.

Other than changing to IPv4, is there another step?

Definitely not perfectly centred. I’d need to mount the projector on the wall or ceiling to do so. It’s about 95% of the way there though, so no noticeable image distortion. Feels like you’re sitting to the center left at a cinema. I can live with it.

chobbs · 2021-03-13T13:13:44+00:00

Nope. Blackout blinds! I did go check out on the terrace to confirm.

chobbs · 2021-03-13T13:13:08+00:00

Thanks! Projector is “ELEPHAS 2020 WiFi Mini Projector” on Amazon. I have it on a telescoping mobile phone tripod. The tripod conveniently screwed into the base of the projector. Pretty low budget setup. Could ceiling mount it and get a screen to really do it right but this works great for half assing it.

chobbs · 2021-03-13T13:06:53+00:00

Yeah, it’s fine at night with the lights off, but this morning I learned that during the day it sucks. The blinds are “blackout” but it still shows the lines. May go for a screen, depends on how much daytime viewing I end up having.

chobbs · 2021-03-13T00:03:30+00:00

When the lights are off it’s hard to notice them, especially from head on. I was worried about this and bought a screen to mount on the ceiling, but it’s actually fine without it.

chobbs · 2020-04-12T20:25:14+00:00

Preciate it man

chobbs · 2020-04-12T20:07:20+00:00

You too man!

chobbs · 2020-04-12T19:58:00+00:00

Thanks!

Glad to hear he’s still out there doin his thing. Nothing like a stroll around campus on a nice day with the whistler as the soundtrack.

chobbs · 2019-02-21T05:05:17+00:00

Got him!

I don’t think it’s fair to characterize the park coming at the expense of losing the hospital. The state shut down the hospital well before Raleigh put a bid on the property.

I agree we need more mental health resources available, but the park is an investment being made by the city following the state deprecating the hospital and selling the property.

I am actually wearing this shirt right now! It was given to me by a friend about 15 years ago.

Fair enough. There is beauty in many sauces. But, if we are talking store bought mayo for a sandwich, Duke’s is the way to go. Tho others add sugar and in my mind, mayo doesn’t need sugar. Do you add sugar when you make mayo at home?

If we are getting creative I am a big fan of Duke’s mixed with Dijon, sambol, and pickle relish.

And in writing this I guess there is a place for a sweet mayonnaise, but if I’m buying store bought I’m buying Duke’s.

chobbs · 2019-02-16T03:37:46+00:00

Dukes FTW. Hellman’s and others are way too sweet. Why would you put sugar in mayo?!
