Languid incompetence, no less. "It probably won't happen while I'm in charge..."
For real. I was there a while back, and I was surprised at how much traffic there was in the Quarter. There's very little relative cost to a delivery-only bollard system. Many other cities have the same systems up.
Well, there's always me after 3 whiskeys.
Greece. Food is usually good, but spice is a totally foreign concept.
And Mexican food in Greece is hilariously bad. Like they can't even Google a picture of nachos?
Once years ago when I used to smoke, on was visiting Ghana and people were literally yelling at me for smoking in public. It's illegal to smoke in public in a few African countries at this point IIRC.
As someone that lives outside the US, this is not a real friction point.
What do you think all the rest of the Boomers in the world do?
Ugh...Just laying on that couch... Can't defeat natural causes with a wooden stake.
The gut punch was Gina Torres, and Zoe not being allowed to grieve and be with Wash.
I watched Serenity again a couple years ago, and it was just as harsh and abrupt as I remember it. It's a hard emotional jab at anyone who has ever loved a partner that's a part of their everyday life.
Depends on the origin, but a freshly fermented and dried whole bean from the farm is like light drugs. Your heart skips a beat, you inhale, you smile, and life gets noticeably better.
Finally, my tax dollars going to things I want!
Thinking this through, they probably filled the car with gas until they couldn't breathe and then hit the firework mortar to set it all off. Also gives them a higher chance of ending it all then, as opposed to the "oops, all fire!" version, which would have been a lingering way to go.
There are reports of a firework mortar and gas canister in the back. Looks very intentional and showy from the video. Stupid way to end one's life, but that was part of it I think as well.
"Let me check for the address and a map in this phone book."
Itchy on your head!
Makes you scratch ya pits!
GOOOOOOOOOOOO LICE!!!!!!!!
The Red Sea is actually just another rift valley along the same edge of the plate. It just filled in with water first.
A friend of mine went from a school in the US to a French school, and when she said there were 7 continents, everyone including the teacher made fun of her.
Dogmatism goes both ways.
We separate Europe, Asia, and Africa because the Ancient Greeks invented the boundaries and terms, and the Romans kept them up.
They lived in the area, so for them, these boundaries were just names given to land on either side of major bodies of water: the Nile, the Black Sea and Rioni river, and the Mediterranean.
They considered Egypt part of Asia for a while, and anything south of the Med as the landmass "Libya." The Romans kept up the same definitions as maps expanded, and just extrapolated from there.
Well, I'm here now. So there's that.
You're welcome. /s
