Hey there Smithers, don’t get discouraged and down on yourself. There’s a reason old guys are still valuable for their sage knowledge. We too were once non-discriminating instant common-sewers.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

Descaling the coffeemaker and trying not to inhale those nasty chemicals. It’s the most excitement I’m going to have all morning. You gotta do instant coffee! :D I like the name change! I do enjoy instant coffee when not at home and I’m not a total coffee snob but.. freshly ground beans, Smithers. ...

This year I obviously set and all-time record by doing the first one a few weeks ago.
Was this due to unseasonable warmth?
Probably not. Vinny was mowing last year’s grass/weeds/shrubs all enhanced by gallons of human based nitrogen compounds. ;-)

Re: Occupied Land acknowledgements

When did acknowledging that your institution is on “Located on Occupied and Unceeded XYZ Ancestral Homelands” become a thing? Is it anything other than empty virtue signaling? See, the problem is that literally every grain of dirt was once inhabited by someone else (who wasn't a white male oppresso...

No biggie. It could be worse, or better depending on your perspective. You could be of Scottish descent and not know about haggis. 😉

Wait, you were in Switzerland?

Everyone knows about haggis, Mountaineer. O0 It’s too extreme to not hear about it.

Smithers, you must be relieved, pun intended, to be back in your home bathroom.
That toilet picture is what results from holding it too long. :-)

… Dual, FWIW my wife had Hungarian friends a couple houses away from her where she grew up. Lots of cabbage rolls were made and consumed. She taught my wife how to make them.

Re: Trump Supporters Say The Darndest Things!!!

I wonder what percentage of politicians are genuinely concerned with telling the truth? For example the “women’s rights” dressed up mantra that allows/condones killing of a human being. Or as we once heard, you can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig. https://www.factcheck.org/2024/03/factch...

The coffee is much stronger on average than in North America and there’s lots of unique takes on flavour such as grapefruit lattes.
