The fact that we all casually talk about how big money is almost a requirement to get into, run, manage, and maintain politics … goes to show you how democratic the system is.

Do the security guards get to take their diabetes medication before or after the race?

At this point in the car industry, the logos and brands are playing musical chairs with one another

A constant worry … that is often interrupted by someone telling me what my responsibility is

LEAVE BY 9 OR YOU WILL BE CHARGED WITH TRESPASSING

Nightmare? … I thought it was the American Dream … either way, you have to be asleep to experience it

Corporate America: … how can we weaponize this and turn a profit?

La la la aaaah da la la la laaaaaaaaa ah daaaaaa

just take any stew … and add a tablespoon of real Japanese wasabi

It would be fun to figure out how to place a lens on it … to either bring the image closer or make it further to completely screw with the perspective

Or even a fun house mirror effect and distort the image in the center.

It would cause them to have a few accidents before realizing something was wrong with the camera

Secret Service had to tackle and restrain the White House head Chef who confused the Thanksgiving main dish for the President’s turkey neck

The people who own, run, operate and manage all information systems from education, news services to schools are all or mostly private corporations, businesses or wealthy benefactors who all base their wealth on capitalism. So they spend all their time and energy using the services and organizations they control to convince everyone everywhere that capitalism is the only option and that socialism in any form is not good or does not work or is not practical.

Can I come too? Do you have room for uninvited guests? I won’t talk to anyone or bother anyone … I’ll just eat :)

Once you do enough cooking, you start to realize that most recipes can be rendered down to a few basic components and combinations … and it all depends on what region of the world you’re in, what culture, what foods are available and what you grew up with.

Cooking, preparing, cutting and serving a turkey/chicken is fairly simple if you stick to just the basics … and use a digital thermometer to monitor the internal temperatures

Gravy is a bit of a trick but do it enough times and you get the hang of it … if all else fails, have a packet of instant gravy mix handy (it makes gravy in about ten minutes)

Everything else with the Thanksgiving dinner is basically just boiled vegetables … if you plan on anything more complicated than this, then you are spending the entire day in the kitchen.

Dessert can be very simple or very complicated … depending on how masochistic you want to be … but it’s best to prepare the sweet stuff a day or two ahead of time.

Whatever you do … stay in the kitchen and pay attention to everything that is cooking, baking, frying or boiling … if it’s roasting for hours, stay nearby and be ready to act on it if anything changes or goes bad … in your off time when nothing needs to be done in the kitchen, wash the dishes and clean the space, because you’ll be making a mess again as soon as you start processing food again anyway.

If you’re not cooking, you’re cleaning. If you’re not cleaning, you’re cooking.

They did the math

We used to do quite a bit of travelling ten years ago and we used booking.com quite often. In those early days of booking online, there was a period when you could call the help line and actually talk to someone from America or Canada. And they were always helpful. We got messed up bookings back then and we always got help and figured things out. At one point, we were booking so often, we got to know one or two of the operators we kept talking to in London, Ontario.

Fast forward ten years later and I would not recommend any of them any more. All of them send you to a call center in either South / Central America, Philippines or India and like your comment said, they do absolutely as minimal as possible to do anything and keep you waiting on the phone as long as possible.

None of them work any more and it is far better to use them to shop around for quality, reviews and recommendations … then book directly with the hotel.

Use the sites and services as a guide, then find a direct phone number to the hotel and book directly with them.

Its not a feature … it’s a goal

You could always collect the gas before it exits the system … by intercepting it all at the source.
