Scraping Through France

The law's a drag

Gravity doesn't exist. Falling pianos exist.

Does this "fight for democracy" involve actual democratic processes? If so, please outline any that Tom Nichols has not been calling for repeatedly for several years.

TY, very interesting. Of course, foodways have for centuries been examined on the basis of class categories, and there are many studies I'm aware of on the impact of colonialism on foodstuffs, rather less perhaps on colonialist views of the foodways of the colonised.
Hope you get some good input.

OK! What is the decolonial part of it? Im interested.

Please forgive me, I don't know what "imagining decolonial classification systems" entails. Does it mean I must exclude from my European food stories anything to do with corn, potatoes, beans, tomatoes, turkey, coffee, chocolate or cane sugar?

In awe of someone giving editorial lessons who uses "vaguearity" as if it's a real word.

In the 19th century the French commonly referred to the English as 'rosbif'.

Scouser, kraut, froggy, curry-muncher, beaner, limey... all terms bestowed by outsiders according to stereotypes of food habits.
In 19th century a common term for the British among the French was 'rosbif'.

I think that's your Anglo heritage inbuilt bias coming through. There are 100s of varities of 'stew', dozens even in the English-speaking world. The word derives from Old French, and possibly Greek before that, relating to the almost universal method of cooking the dish it refers to.

Proton, subject to Swiss law, advises users to use a VPN in addition to EtE encrypted email like Proton Mail.

OK. Its just that you refernced Google Search monitoring as a reason to go Proton. I've heard DuckDuckGo is a better privacy alternative for search. No idea.

*vpn

Do you just use straight Proton Mail, or Proton VP as well?

Does Proton do search?

I think he'd be better employed removing London's fatberg

Point 2 also good. We all get soooo much spam!

Fair enough. Especially point 1!
Can you tell me how you have experienced Google monitoring of you?

Can you explain your reasons?

My reaction is tempered by Yang's record of promoting, and current professional interest in, the idea of job displacement and UBI.
His own record of job-creation is not exactly stellar, something I'm sure he feels personally.

Oh indeed. But part of that brand in his own mind is that a member of the working class could never ever hold him in ridicule. "What, me?!!? The quintessence? The great interpreter of solidarity?"

To make it even better, I'm convinced she was taking the piss and poor Owen couldn't conceive of such a thing.

It was plain as day to me from her expression and subtle little grin that she was taking the piss out of you.
She's worth more than you could possibly imagine.

Meanwhile the police refer to him as "a man in his 60s from Norfolk"

I read once a description of Tesla as "a reluctant auto company". They only have 4 or 5 models plus an SUV, compared to dozens for conventional manufacturers and Chinese EV makers like BYD. The lack of innovation in response to customer preferences is staggering.

"I have studied the entrails of a sheep, observed the tail of a comet, examined the patterns of lightning, and heard the ravings of lunatics, and I can see the patterns leading to only one conclusion. I can see what others cannot."

There is no Polaris First Class out of Adelaide. United has code share with Virgin and Qantas for the intra-Australia legs; Polaris only kicks in out of East Coast ports in Oz.

Latest data does show a drop in transpacific demand, BUT:
1. International airlines don't do that seat switch thing for take-off
2. Adelaide is a small town; all eastbound flights for US fly via Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane, with additional passengers boarding there
