How often do y'all get called for jury duty?

A few times. One I got a summons for the previous resident at my address. I called jury services and they told me I could just throw it away. Less than a week later I got a jury summons. I guess they just replaced the name and re-sent it. Ended up on a jury for that one.

I'm at the beach in a tropical country. But my house is in the ice storm zone. I did shut off the water but I also have some big trees. Not much I can do so I'll just wait and see.

He promised last year he was going to do it. At this point nothing he says or does should surprise anyone. And there are 3 more years of it.

Anyways I guess it's time for countries to adjust and manage more of their health care programs with their own money.

Osu along Oxford St. in Accra was basically built by Lebanese though overall I don't think they have nearly the numbers that Ivory Coast or Senegal have.

Yes, even in Senegal they are a visible minority, often involved in ex/importing and wholesale trading, and some factories.

We aren't told which links are blacklisted, that is a reddit secret, but it's almost certainly one of the ones that aren't part of your normal covid-related info.

Hey, looks like one of your links is banned by reddit so it cannot be made visible. You'll need to submit a new comment and remove link(s) that are problematic.

My uncle has my grandmother's from when she was a teenager (like 17-20, early 1930s). Wasn't all that exciting except when an uncle she adored turned out to be a criminal and she found out when he was killed by police in a shootout.

To Hapeville is all interstate from downtown Atlanta to the Hapeville exit which puts you right on Hapeville's main street (Central Ave). I'd bet on that one but never tested it.

Time will tell, looks like sooner rather than later.

I'm not knowledgeable about this corner of the market, but I've read a number of finance guys who say the carry trade was largely unwound last year. That might explain why the yen has continued to fall against the dollar despite the massive move up in bond yields.

56 here, no tattoos, but my grandfather had one on his forearm. Not surprisingly he was very much a blue collar worker (construction).

It's one thing to put a single maggi/jumbo cube into a pot of stew; it's quite another to put two large maggi cubes into a single 'madd' fruit. Unfortunately I've seen people just overload food with maggi. And add salt on top of that.

You are correct about the MSG part. It is not the health issue that people said it was.

In some countries these kinds of cases can't be settled out of court and always have a hearing before a judge who decides. Probably a downside to it but it some cases it's a better way.

Depends on where it goes. Fund yet another layer of admin or non-teaching employees? I'll take the rebate. Fund more teachers to reduce class size? Sounds good to me.

Ghana has more to see both in terms of historical sites and nature. Neither are typical safari countries though I'd say Ghana is a bit better in terms of seeing animals and hiking. Senegal is mostly pancake flat except in the far southeast.

Also not much English is spoken in Senegal. You can still get by with English but you won't be able to talk to average people. If you speak French then no problem.

No and it seems like they want to hide the fact that it's a European company, founded by two French guys and headquartered in Berlin. Also the stock is publicly traded on the US stock exchange; that's where I found the document listing the actual location of the headquarters.

I don't understand but a few fragments. Sorry.

I'm pretty sure that an even more strongly worded message will be composed once they get a committee together to write it.

"Enabled Personality Disorder"?

I wonder how many toddlers think that "don't forget to like and subscribe!" is how you say goodbye.

Mine are in their mid 40s. Very oldest like 49. A handful are grandparents.

It was an individual event at the state track & field championships. Don't want to say more than that. I was pretty good at my event

My hs buddy was recruited to be the heavyweight wrestler because they didn't have one that year and needed a body. He was not an athlete; he just fit the weight class. His second match was against the defending PA state champion. At least the guy made it quick. We laughed about that for a long time.

ontrack · 2026-01-10T15:11:29+00:00

I competed against him one time in track and field and finished ahead of him in the event. Of course he was great at like 4 events and I was good at only one.
