Chicken sashimi is about to be taken off the menus in Japan, as even their way more sanitary ways led to quite a number of health incidents.

I don’t think they would listen to me, as I have been banned from r/news - the usual “antisemitism” for criticizing Israels genocide in Gaza.

Go figure how this “news” would deal with criticism of Murdoch…

I get the XL free-range eggs from the farm shop here, and they are 50-60ct apiece. And they are worth each and every cent. Last week, all eight eggs in the box were double yolk.

I don’t think the biggest problem of Hollywood is the lack of Republican meddling.

And it shows that only Hollywoods has-beens are rooting for Donald.

I’m over fifty, and the last check I had to deal with was about 30 years ago. And the only reason to have this check back then was because I had to pay an American company for some software updates, and as I did not have checks anymore back then (about nobody had then anymore back then). I needed my bank to issue one check acceptable in the US.

It was the most expensive free update I ever had: The update was free, but shipping and handling was $10, outside US&Canada another $20, and express delivery another $10. Plus about $35 in fees to the bank for issuing an American bank compatible check and swapping local currency into US$.

Fun fact: Despite paying for “express delivery” and sending the check and the order per air mail, it took six weeks. One Sunday, the doorbell rang, and a courier right from the next airport delivered a beefy box (software was media and printed manuals back then!). In the box was a copy of the order - it was stamped as “received” on Friday morning, so they really did express delivery. Why the air mail to the US took six weeks though is still a mystery.

Last time it was off was during the summer holidays.

Germany to the US (California). An order for a software update.

So all he could get was a disco group way beyond the best before date, and a second class country girl?

It’s actually a quite good game. I hope to get mine signed by Irving Finkel. Sadly, he was not in when I bought a replica at the British Museum.

Hopefully the Americans will actually notice who ruined them…

Of course he has. He has neither a plan nor a chance to deliver here. All he can do is keeping as quiet as possible about it in hope that his MAGA sponge brains forget this was a thing he promised.

I’ve tried to make it clear that I’m not interested in punishing anyone for past decisions or mistakes—on the contrary, I want to learn from them to create a better process moving forward. My goal is to collaborate and make their jobs easier, not harder, but I think building trust and comfort will take more time.

I’d wager that the engineers have experienced such promises in the past and got burned. Engineers, by nature, are very analytical. Re-gaining trust that was once burned will take a lot of work. And managers like you are exactly the kind of people that burn engineers.

Tell me they won’t end up in the same pot. Please!

“Etwas”…

Maybe not what you expected.

There you can see that he is a full-blown politician. Whenever he opens his mouth, he emits lies.

He could close the borders to keep Human Transmittable Avian Flu inside. Nobody outside the US needs a new pandemic, but the raw milk drinking antivaxx folks in the US seem to love it.

I saw more LA houses in the news, and again all what was left was the chimney. To me, it looks like houses there are just part of the fuel. But one cannot tell whether those houses were the ones that were grandfathered in. And if the new regulation is in power for just a few years, just keep in mind how many new houses with new standards have been built since then.

Unlike houses here in Europe, which are usually made of stone, bricks, or concrete. Our house has a reinforced concrete basement and floors, foam concrete insulating walls, and concrete tiles on the roof. While it would definitively see damages if placed into the middle of such a firestorm, it would resist way longer, and would not contribute to the fire. I’d say before our house would get damaged beyond the need to just clean and repaint it, everything combustible (vegetation, sheds, fences) around would be long gone.

Better shut off the complete platform. And issue an international arrest warrant for foreign poitical influence / election interference.

Wherever he cut, you can safely assume it will only hit the people at the bottom, not those at the top.
