Just dig a hole in a subduction zone and let tectonics reclaim the materials.

Horsey to block

In cowboy times they went to Fairhaven, Ireland instead.

Americans didn’t join WWII for Europe, almost everyone was staunchly against joining the war before Pearl Harbour, letting Europe and Asia sort out their own problems. They were reluctant after so many died in WWI just to save European empires from other European empires. This just seemed like more of that at the time. Then Japan and Germany declared war on the US, obliging them to fight. Otherwise the people were ready to watch Europe get taken over by Hitler.

That said, the US Government had already decided they had to join the war for self preservation and were working on a way to start to convince people when Japan attacked. That really did the US war effort a lot of favours.

I just meander without purpose, going whichever way feels good. The unaimed arrow never misses.

I wonder when we’ll really start to see the numbers showing how good office workers are all getting the better wfh jobs while the in office jobs are being done by what’s left over.

There’s a well established tradition of hand-me-down furniture being put out in alleys in East Vancouver. When you move and have no furniture, you can just tour the alleys and come away with a coffee table and a sofa or a couple of chairs. Did it a few times. You gotta know how to check for bed bugs though.

I use Plex. Jellyfin looks great, I try it every so often to see how it’s progressed, but it’s just not quite polished enough for me to make the switch yet.

I used this as my guide: https://thestartrekchronologyproject.blogspot.com/2009/09/and-now-conclusion.html

Except of course the Enterprise finale, I watch that at the end of enterprise, not in the middle of TNG.

TNG was being first aired throughout my childhood and I would catch the odd episode here and there when I got to stay up and watch it with my parents to guide me, as suggested. But I didn’t get into Trek properly until I worked in construction as a labouror, my first job. When there’s no work, there’s daytime TV re-runs. The Space Network, the Canadian version of The Sci-Fi Channel, would run 2 TNGs back to back from 12-2. I got way into it then. I then watched all the series’. Now, every year or two, I’ll just throw on the first episode of TOS and go right until the end of the whole franchise in mostly air date order. I even have a playlist that has all of the overlapling seasons from the 90s to play as one big series, playing each episode by air date/chronological order based on a chronology I found online. Keeps it spicy.

I think it would be funnier if he was standing on the ground with his fists up.

It takes me 2 hours to travel by bus where it takes me 30 minutes by car in my city. I can’t afford to drive so I cycle. Badly planned routes by for profit bus companies is not how to create a useful transit service.

The real kicker is that the same company does the buses in the neighboring cities with more social clout and they are really good and win awards. People with cars there bus most of the time. They know how to make a good bus network. They choose not to. Our city has more people, even, but they alienated the drivers so thoroughly, it would take a generation of completely overhauled good service to rebuild a trusting ridership base beyond the desperately poor. They’ve built themselves this super expensive problem just to save a few bucks 40 years ago.

That’s anecdotal, not data.

That’s how I roll too.

I loose weight by eating 2 big meals a day. My go to seems to be frozen pizza (1000 cal each) and and curries (500-600 for curry, another 200 for my naan in butter). I eat 1600-1800 calories a day and feel like a glutton while my scale keeps going in the right direction. 50lbs down so far.

The Wandering Village?

The Western New England accent is very different from your classic Foggettaboudit east coast accent. Unless you’re an academic linguistics researchers, it’s basically the same as American standard. He was luckily born into his accent.

Their accents are different. Bob has a Midwest touch to his speech, as is standard for Illinois kids like him, Steve speaks classic Western New England, typical of his Massachusetts upbringing, which is almost exactly the same as American Standard.

But these two came up in the New York comedy world around the same time. They weren’t close but had many mutual colleagues. It might be more about a similar performance style than a regional accent you’re noticing.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Again. So good.
