I love the composition of this photo.

It is less of a US thing, and more of a class thing. Expats are temporary work assignments overseas usually for high paying leadership positions.

They see that happening and just restore all of the deleted comments anyway.

It actually sounds like you might need a little dose of forced empathy based on your post and comments. I understand you are angry about this, but thinking that they must be immigrants or dog/ child abusers because they left their lights on? That’s not normal. Get yourself better curtains or consider moving to a different apartment before you do something stupid that you’ll regret when you grow up.

ML isn’t AI, but a lot of people (companies trying to make money) have started branding it as AI.

I know you said it, but counting on family support when you are elderly is such a gamble. I know so many people that moved away from family or their kids are too busy with their own lives to support. Many people get out into a home and visited a few times a year.

Bircher museli (Swiss) and museli (also called granola) are two different things.

The first is a mixture of yogurt, milk, apples, other fruits, dried fruit, seeds, nuts, and grains. It is typically prepared the day before and is mushy.

The second is a dry mixture of grains, seeds, nuts, and dried fruit. Kiwis eat the dry stuff instead of breakfast cereal over yogurt or milk and it is crunchy. It is generally eaten over breakfast cereal because it is considered healthier.

It really isn’t politics. New Zealand is very isolated from other countries, so the price of imported goods are high. It is also a small nation that is primarily farms, so there isn’t much room for development and home prices are high. It has a small steel industry but otherwise there isn’t a lot of manufacturing unless it is related to dairy.

New Zealand has had a constant outflow of people to other countries that ebbs and flows for at least 40 years. I left during a previous surge. Home prices are too high, wages are too low, and better opportunities can be found abroad. When other economies start slowing down, a lot of people return to NZ.

The giant foam finger is such an amazing idea for the right person.

I’d agree that NYC has probably the most diverse food scene in the world.

Four weeks. I have Crohn’s disease and had perforated my bowel roughly 15 years ago. I wasn’t allowed anything by mouth and was on a saline drip for 3 weeks. After my surgery I was on TPN for another week before I was allowed to eat anything. I went from 185lbs to 130lbs and it took about 6 months to get back up to 160lbs.

Look at the lifts on those shoes…

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Peet’s hasn’t been good for quite a while.

For me, not at all. It just doesn’t even cross my mind to talk about my day unless something major happened. Some people can tell stories about anything and everything and for me it just doesn’t register as a thing to do.

Canada didn’t integrate blockchain into agriculture on a whole. The article you linked was a pilot study.

We still pump it into the air via small aircraft!

Marco Polo. Such a shame Netflix chose to drop it.
