Dear Bob. I’m so fucking sorry.

Why would vaccination end? Not from the US - what did I miss?

And it’s sooo typical of their hyper-inflated personal and national egos:
They didn’t wonder for one minute why on earth foreign companies would pay up. For the honor or doing business with the greatest country on earth tm? Because they’d have no choice of other buyers, since no other countries has car / computer / whatever manufacturers who’d buy their products instead?

They. Are. So. Fucking. Insular.

Thank you.

Tbh I’d love a key, sounds like something I’d really enjoy!

I’m sorry what?

Where I’m from, the hyperbole would go “You’ll get punched.”

You made me laugh in the middle of a pretty shitty day. Thank you.

It took me a while to understand what you meant because we don’t write anything on our ballots. There are piles of small cards with one candidate (or list) on each, we (are supposed to) pick one of each and put one in the envelope.
But yeah, I agree with your take.

It was common in France until my dad’s childhood, in the 60s. There were commercials for Ricoré (half coffee, half chickory) in the 80s. AFAIK, you can still buy it in all supermarkets.

Fwiw, it’s répertoire.

“Vegetables” are not A Thing. The word just means a part of a plant we eat as a savoury dish. Some are seeds (like peas), or pods with the seeds still inside (green beans), or leaves (spinach, chard), roots or kinda-roots (carrots, garlic, beets), or (baby) flowers (cauliFLOWER, broccoli, Brussels sprouts - all from the same recent cabbage ancestor), lots are fruit (pumpkin, zucchini, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes). I found it fascinating when I planted my first garden 5 years ago, knowing squat about nature. Veggies are just plants where your pick the good part.

Not a staple where I’m from, but aren’t there japalenos in there? Bell peppers ?

France. I fear I’d be driven out of town.

Oh thanks. I’ve come across the name, never seen one. TIL.

What is it? An ugly ham? A weird champagne flute? I’m lost.

I had no idea. Thanks for explaining!

What’s the story here please? I’m out of the loop. Why is he expected to register? Most young Americans don’t, right?

I mean, most languages are not written.
