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.

He has a a free couch, he just needs help getting it out of the basement. Totally fine.

She’s lovely! What’s her name?

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.

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.

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.

The mind and body may go, but the heart remains. He sacrificed his own aspirations to give Kamala the best possible chance of burying Trump. Legendary final chapter, 10/10, would vote Dem again.

I also have a no Samsung policy, because of their refrigerators.

What an awesome project - thanks for sharing the details!!

Unexpected Einhar. Nice.

The Milverine, and his Wikipedia page:

Definitely garlic mustard. Should be purple at the base of the stems, and the root will have a bit of a hook to it.

I spend a lot of time clearing this stuff in my wooded yard, as it’s highly invasive.

I’m not, but I have several Jewish friends. I also live close to rural batshit Crazyville. I can hear the difference in “Jew” when it’s said at the Jewish Cultural Center vs. at the townie bar with disdain, for sure. Hard R territory.

Of course they are - it’s very difficult for a rat to use a lighter.

I tried doing a TimeShift restore last week for another software issue, and nvidia drivers crapped the bed (again). Decided it was time to bite the bullet and swapped out my 1080 Ti with a 7700 XT. Did a clean install of Manjaro, and it was eerie how simple it was to get everything including Wayland to work. Should’ve done it two years ago.

Odd that hanging out maskless in townie bars and churches back in 2020 wasn’t the best idea. Who could’ve possibly predicted that?
