Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50% renewables. And we are shutting down – not building – coal & nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest. PS: We also don’t eat cats and dogs. #Debate2024 pic.twitter.com/PiDO98Vxfo— GermanForeignOffice (@GermanyDiplo) September 11, 2024
You listen to people like Trump and some of the Maga loons and you think 'Nuke the sight from orbit'. Then you hear from some of these people and think, 'Hmm... maybe it's worth saving'. The degree of humanity is pretty remarkable.
Funnily enough I just read that and thought, 'Ooops!' I originally wrote he fought with 'Monty' against Rommel and then realised some people wouldn't necessarily know who Monty was so edited the post as that was probably not relevant. Monty was this guy... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Montgomery
Why? She adopted her kids so they would be raised by real Americans, not have to deal with parents who eat pets.
That Haitian blood, tho... if it's not giving you AIDS, it's in your veins making a goldfish kabob look damn tasty..
I'm hardly an expert on the national cuisine (I do know a thing or two about rhum agricole, however), but based on my very limited knowledge of what they actually consume in Haiti, it's pretty damned tasty. My wife and I knew a married couple back in the day at Indiana University - she from Germany, he from Haiti, but they'd lived together in Haiti - who used to have us over for dinner from time to time. Delicious.
Bomb threats to the Springfield, OH town hall and elementary school. As a reminder: Stochastic terrorism is political violence that has been instigated by hostile public rhetoric which is directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished by using indirect, vague, or coded language that allows the instigator to plausibly disclaim responsibility for the resulting violence
Trump is back leading the EC polling again. 281 to 257. Looks like Kamala's sugar high is starting to fade https://www.realclearpolling.com/maps/president/2024/no-toss-up/electoral-college
Truthfully, I don't keep much on hand, compared to other styles of molasses-based rum. Right now, I have a bottle of Rhum Barbancourt 8 year old in stock. Their 15 year old isn't distributed in Ohio, which is pretty frustrating. That's one I very much want to try. Presumably, we'll be visiting relatives in Louisville at some point later this year, and I always keep handy a list of bottles I can't get here, but normally can there.
Chef Carl Ruiz, RIP, has said that Haitian Food, is the best. He says you have the black soul food cooking aspect of spices and seasoning combined with the French cooking aspect of "mais son plais" and discipline. He also said the service was crap.
Barbancourt indeed is one of the best. Look for their Special Reserve, It is like a cognac. St James from the French W.I is excellent as ell. Mount Gay from Barbados.
Haitian food is one of the Caribbean best indeed. It is pretty similar to New Orleans food. Creole cuisine, with African and French influence.
The EC is stupid, but don’t get worked up by this map, like @charlie15 said. Especially don’t get worked up by posts from our Orange alarmist, who was implying Covid vaccines were killing soccer players and people in stadiums left and right.
When our friends got married in Orlando, his mom and family cooked the food for the reception. It was phenomenal. Rice, chicken, beans ( sos pwa?), pork, plantains and other treats.
@usscouse They intentionally put the results on the outer edge of the confidence bars to favor the GOP, in order to create an aura of GOP success. Then when they lose, they can claim that the polling proves there was voter fraud.
