very easy. As long as you know which station(s) are closest to your hotel, it's easy to use the giant tube map outside every station to figure out what line to get on. I had the biggest issue w/tickets last time just because I couldn't figure out how to get a day pass that I didn't buy ahead of time

If they film it again this year, I'll post it, but it usually doesn't go up until February - which is still pretty dark.

We're in Scotland again, and back in the Scottish Rite. My 1st show in 2022 was Betsy's last year, & Robert's last year was 2023. Wish I had been able to sing more with them. Dan (the new Musical Director) is great though. I'm really impressed with the depth & generosity of talent here.

I’m a singer & cellist & I promise you that practice isn’t necessarily pretty, even if it eventually will be. I don’t want to be responsible for wrecking the sleep of a shift worker or little one. But I also dislike yardwork. Soundproof single stair elevator would be the dream.

Panera introduced the panini - pressed, grilled sandwich - to the US. I doubt there’s been a panini press in any of them in 20 years. It’s all industrial air fryer thingies to reheat prepackaged crap.

Where’d he get a copy of the official Handbook? It’s been out of stock at Powells for months.

Also started with books because he was able to use the metadata from the Library of Congress. So taxpayer funded as well.

When I was 14 my mom would send me to the store with a list, a signed blank check, & instructions to write it for $10 over so she could have cash for gas or whatever. Nobody blinked.

This is the WORST! The 2nd worst is trying a recipe that requires 7 different pots/pans/bowls, 3 different techniques & complicated cooking directions & results in a bland, boring meal. There is no roast chicken recipe that makes a tastier bird than a grocery store rotisserie.

… sit next to the power reclining loveseat, like the repetitive drone of a Phillip Glass piece come to life.

My credit union very kindly can print off like 10 checks at a time, so I don't have to spend stupid money on whole checkbooks when I only need 6 or so a year.

If I drink my sugar, it gives me immediate digestive repercussions. I can usually handle something with a bit of protein, like a milkshake or thai tea, but soda & fruit juice go terrifyingly through me. Just bought some of the diet 7up Shirley Temple, may pick up the cranberry spindrift at Costco.

I’m not saying that the destruction of the ACA is good. I know plenty of gig workers & freelancers this will devastate & eventually it will hit everyone. But also it’s no worse than people starving or freezing. Everything sucks. Place the blame where it belongs.

Most of us out here privileged enough to be talking optics. I have heard no ppl on SNAP. Every choice was shit. The responsibility lies squarely in the R’s laps, the assholes who elected them & the folks who didn’t vote for the smart lady.

Anecdata - I have lived with my BFF for 20 years & we just bought a house. While I feel the 900sf w/guest potty is both too small & excessive, finding a house that wasn’t giant bedroom + tiny child rooms was impossible. As more non-partners cohabitate, dual main suites may get more popular.

I think that number is missing a decimal.

Ooh, look who got a Cricut.

Here is an illustration.

Don't you know? The Base is the same as The Default, as in The Default human is the white man.
