How many other Americans, like this commenter at the New York Times, think that Canada's population is 1.5 million? Who do they think takes up all those buildings in Toronto?
Received this bit of advertising in my email. Glad to know that, by default, we're friends, even if they can't remember my name.
I got this ad from a local theatre for a Beatle's cover band and I thought, that's impressive, they found a left-handed bass player to be Paul. Then I watched a YouTube video of them and HE ISN'T LEFT-HANDED. So they've photoshopped the still photos.
Well this is a first for me. Skilled AND lucky at the same time. Usually I have to put up with one or the other. Mostly the other.
You know how you make sourdough starter? Mix flour and water and leave them on your counter for a few days, then discard and feed regularly. All the yeast you need is floating around you! Look up 'Wild Yeast Sourdough Starter' and skip these expensive kits.
Folks, this is insanity. Simple syrup is the single easiest thing to make yourself - it's literally 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Anyone buying this makes "too dumb to boil water" an upgrade.
Got this from Facebook advertising a fitness program. Frankly the best way to shock them would be to play with a strange dog on a frozen lake with almost no clothes on.
As with healthcare, American discussion of #gerrymandering almost never mentions that no other democracy in the world allows it. There was a whole NY Times article this morning that failed to mention that the rest of us have figured this out.
This reminds me of that game we played as kids, "I bet you $100", "Well I bet you $1000", that always ended with someone saying "I bet INFINITY DOLLARS".
At my grandparents house you had to change the channel on the TV, and then turn the knob that rotated the roof-top antenna to the proper angle.
We have apparently entered into the "shoot them with lasers" phase of mosquito control.
