    Whatcha reading?

    Getting into Churchill's WW2 memoirs. I like his style for the most part. His references and implied defense of imperialism are tone deaf. But still very interesting to see his view of the war as one of the key figures.
  2. That can be officially revised, can't it?
  3. I use google pay all the time as it's just tied to my credit card. No bank involved. For bank phone payments and receipt of payments I find Venmo really easy and intuitive to use. Just know that Venmo for some bizarre reason allows anyone to see your transactions if you don't set them to private.

    It's great. Through immigration in 30 seconds.
  5. Oh Alan Reynolds, you ignorant slut.
  6. I'm a big fan of Argentine actor Ricardo Darin. I rewatched his film Truman for the 4th or 5th time last night. It's about a guy in Madrid who's got a short time left before cancer takes him and his best friend now living in Canada comes back to visit for a few days and say his goodbye. It's melancholic but also humorous and sweet. Got 99% on RT.
  7. Her face has become grotesque. Matches the insides.
  8. I spent 5 days in Marrakech in January and the food may have been the best I've had in any country I've visited. And so cheap. It's very touristy, but charming. Just watch out for the idiot mopeds careening through the narrow lanes.
  9. Anyone got a good streaming link for those of us traveling. My VPN can't beat Youtube tv detection.
  10. Watched Logan again last night. I'm usually not into the Marvel type movies, but I really enjoy this one. No end of the world nonsense.
  11. Why did Tennessee let so much time run off?
  12. People who veer wide entering the adjacent lane when making a turn.
  13. It sucked at the time, but the Spurs ultimately dodged a huge cancerous bullet with his departure.
  14. Sheeeeit. I did that many pleas in a couple days as an ADA.
  15. So how many wins are we realistically expecting assuming a healthy roster?
  16. That's a pretty wild statistic from that story. 1 in 15k chance of being struck by lightning over a lifetime? That's not exactly super rare.

    I thought I read somewhere that there's a max charge per day (when using a credit card/phone tap) no matter how often it's used, but I may have misunderstood.

    Headed there next week for a week. I appreciate whoever mentioned the UK ETA. That wasn't a thing last time I went. I love Penelope's food pics but I'm traveling on a tight budget this trip. So any favorite cheap eats spots? I ate a lot of sandwiches the last time I was there which were great.
  19. Back in SA for a visit. My go to breakfast taco joint is Mary Lou's on McCullough in Olmos Park. Solid as always.
  20. Something something bootstraps.
  21. Exactly. There's always some goober who thinks a particular event is singular with long reaching effects. After a weekend of college and NFL football distraction, this will quickly be yet another forgotten footnote. Those on the left (myself included) thought the effective overturn of Roe was going to seal the 2024 election for Dems. Womp womp.
