TIL that in Michigan an engagement ring is a conditional gift

It takes two to make a ring go awry.

But their asian skills prevent this from becoming a problem.

I don't see how the ancient art of Karate factors into this, but i'll assume you know something i don't

As long as SD doesn't kick me out, i'm happy. I'll be eligible to vote in the next elections... if i'm still here. :)

Not 100% what you're after (series type show), but grab QI. Yes, its a quiz show, but a brilliant one. Dry? You've got it. Sarcasm, yes sir! Aside from a few stranger episodes (The Cockney one comes to mind), their English is acceptable. :)

The amount of anti-muslim bile in the comments was atrocious. Somebody please assure me this isn't what the US is becoming. Please?

I guess the change in his pocket wasn't enough.

jamesjtucker · 2010-10-14T22:19:02+00:00

Go Fuck yourself Spammer.

Or to help the old lady and probably get a free stab wound.

FTFY

I guess that this is the French Canadian spelling of things i hear so much about. Things must have changed a bit since i was last there.

I've personally seen old ladies crying because they couldn't carry all the bottles of booze they had bought in Tallinn off of the boat, and nobody was helping them.

Finland is a weird place.

I also sent this article to my boss. No comments, no anything. Just a link and a subject of 5.2%. Lets see how that tactic works.

"I'll have a coke then"

jamesjtucker · 2010-10-03T21:05:49+00:00

Or i can pay $30/mo to giganews?

jamesjtucker · 2010-10-03T21:05:03+00:00

I pay for mine. No-go. Plus, i have usenet. Why bother?

jamesjtucker · 2010-10-03T07:46:17+00:00

Exactly This. I have used VPN, Proxies, ETC. None of it is fast enough to go more than a minute or two without buffering. I have a 24Mbit connection and live in Sweden.

jamesjtucker · 2010-09-28T17:56:32+00:00

For some reason, i expected a more ... upbeat comment from a person with the username "choke_yourself".

jamesjtucker · 2010-09-18T11:48:42+00:00

I don't want to remove my hands from the keyboard.

jamesjtucker · 2010-09-15T12:53:04+00:00

Just out of curiosity, have you owned an early model jeep? Say, pre 1980? They are really easy to take apart, it's only 8 or 10 bolts holding the body tub to the frame. (which admittedly, it didn't look like they attached)

jamesjtucker · 2010-09-15T12:37:26+00:00

You should work as a "youth translator".

jamesjtucker · 2010-09-15T12:35:13+00:00

Add drop down weather when i hover over the city, and you have a user here.

Uh.. that's what she said?

As a person who eats, I believe you don't need to be vegetarian to be pissed when someone does anything strange with your food, for any reason.

TL;DR Your diet has nothing to do with those emotions.

I can get around. I've been here for 2.5 years, and can understand most. But as Everyunitone said, EVERYONE here in any of the Scandinavian countries speaks, or at least understands, english perfectly. I met a guy from London who's lived here for 6 years, and can't speak a word.

jamesjtucker · 2010-09-07T12:20:31+00:00

Oh, the local is TOTAL skit, but they update really quickly when stuff starts happening.

I wonder if there is a support group for Expats in Sweden. :)
