I was on the final day of an overseas trip. I’d been there for several weeks, and my wife flew over and joined me for the last week to see the sights.
I’d eaten the hotel breakfast buffet almost every day of my stay with no issues. So, I grabbed my usual items, including some buffet line shakshuka (an eggs, feta, and tomato stew). It may have been sitting out a while…. Thankfully my wife opted for something else. Yum yum, check out, drop stuff off at my company’s HQ, off the airport, drop the rental, etc.
We were sitting in the airport inside the security check when it started - nausea, sweats, and bad cramps. Not the best look when in a foreign country with serious (and slow) airport security. Got through, beelined to the bathroom, and I thought I got it out from both ends. I boarded the plane feeling a bit better, but it ramped up again once we were onboard and continued for the entirety of the 13 hour flight home. I have seen immense torment inside the tiny bathroom of a 747 airliner, and I think I spent more time in there than my seat. When I did make it out, I sat shivering and sweaty in my seat for a few minutes before I had to go again.
I was thankful my wife was there to keep me hydrated and that the plane was empty enough that I could grab a seat row near the back for myself to lie down, instead of climbing over some poor bastard every time.
Surprisingly, I still like shakshuka.
Quit fucking about on the internet - we need to win decisively and have the election denier’s bullshit shut down immediately.
Call up your county’s Democratic Party and go knock some doors or drive people to the polls with them. Talk to your (sane) friends and relatives to make sure they’ve voted, or have a plan for how they’re going to get to their polling location and vote on Tuesday.
Do that, and we can get back to fucking about on the internet and sharing transgender Star Trek beans memes, instead of fighting off fascism.
Apparently at Critter Depot, if you’re stateside. 2,000 crickets for $54. Subscription discounts available.
I get what you’re saying - some games aren’t fun on steam deck controls, or just run like a dog.
But, look at it differently - It’s a PC by virtue of the fact you only have to buy it once to use it in both. My 10 year old XPS laptop and my gaming desktop are very different classes of hardware as well, but they’ll both run Plants vs Zombies that I bought once.
I can’t say that about the stuff I bought on Switch and want to keep playing on Steam Deck.
He has a a free couch, he just needs help getting it out of the basement. Totally fine.
American here, what’s exciting in Swedish politics these days? I’d like some reprieve from the dumpster fire that is America for a minute.
Snakes? In my snake pit?
It’s more likely than you think.
Go ahead and explain open source to Sen. Bloodfeast. His response will most certainly contain the word “communism”.
Hell yes - these kids nowadays need to experience real fake news - not whatever these weirdos have been crowing about.
And hopefully Red Meat comics.

They exist; they may have been super holistic before COVID, and they just latched on to the anti-vaxx mindset but maybe can’t stomach MAGA.
I know one who is a retired doctor. He writes medical exceptions for anti-vaxx rich folks in the area and manically chewed my ear for 20 min about hydroxychloroquine and the rest before gushing about RFK.
I agree with you, though. RFK’s going to be pulling from Camp Weirdos a lot more than Camp Give Us Our Fucking Rights Back this election.
We don’t; we’re just a surprised as you that things are suddenly back on the rails.
Are you in the US? Bawls is a Guarana soda sold here. Can’t find it locally very often (Meijer, sometimes) but you can order directly from their website.
Yes, the name is stupid; still my favorite soda.
Just don’t put it on your home network. I have an LG C3(?) from 2018 that is a perfectly good dumb TV without the WiFi password.
