Also away from home, but also willing to do the same here. I even have an old-school coffee grinder like the slop generated. Got a couple of proper Bialetti Moka pots and a Hario grinder too. Maybe have my old gen Delonghi Magnifica in the background. I'll check back in here on Monday, I wanna see where this goes.

Hey, America, what the fuck?

It's gonna get down to -30°C this week, I'll turn the heat off and just throw on the good ol' toque and a sweater and report back, assuming I still have fingers.

Americans will do anything other than buy an electric kettle.

Many non-US places (otherwise known as the rest of the world) have cheap wine, cheap food, and social benefits. Cigs though idk, you'd have to be insane to smoke in most developed countries because if the cancer doesn't kill you, the prices will.

Thank you for your service.

I really rather like oatmeal raisin cookies.

According to this source via wiktionary, it's '[p]ossibly from a contraction of "grinning like a ’possum eating shit."'

Canada redeemed, absolutely beautiful leef lads.

Jailing is not the answer, no, but throwing in "[m]arijuana may not even harm fetuses" is not the kind of message we want to be sending. One of my professors is a leading expert in cannabis research in Canada, and he is currently studying the effects of cannabis on fetal development in rats. They and previous studies are finding/have found increased anxiety and decreased cognition and sociability in rat pups exposed in utero, with worse effects in females than males. Other studies have found some physical deformations I believe, but I'm not so familiar with their research. My professor is studying this specifically because of the extent of its use in pregnancy and his concern with the long-term and large-scale effects of this. Cannabis is a drug and should not be used – without exception – in pregnancy until its safety and efficacy is established. I sympathise with women in a tough situation, but it's simply not fair to the children. I just think throwing in these kinds of phrases is dismissive of rational concerns, even if the responses to these concerns are irrational.

It's FOSS, so fork it and host it yourself or find someone else you like who has/can do so. I don't personally think it's too surprising that this free (as in freedom) platform was created by and initially attracted leftists and anarchists, and even if it is, I think it matters far, far less than everyone seems to think it does.

Makes me sick, fuck that hellhole of a country.

Take the red pill, all linguistic categories are equally unreal.

Bet you can fit a hell of a lot of diplococcus in a diplodocus.

'Lo and behold'

(Terribly sorry, I can't help myself.)

Here's an article for those out of the loop.

Your science teacher was wrong, unfortunately. In Classical Latin, datum is pronounced as [ˈd̪ät̪ʊ̃ˑ] "dah-too(m)" and likewise data as [ˈd̪äːt̪ä] [ˈd̪ät̪ä] "dah-tah."

Not that Latin should really have a say in how we speak English anyhow.

Agreed. Funnily I'm from a more temperate country and she's from where I'm at now, but she's the one that is always cold and wants to keep it at ~22. I ain't gonna argue considering she pays the electricity bill, though.
