Mexican here. Cinco de Mayo commerates the Battle of Puebla. It's widely celebrated in the United States and not celebrated here. It's really more a Mexican-American thing.

There are 32 states down here and only one, Puebla itself, has the day off. As a resident of one of the other 31 states, it literally was a normal day at work for me.

We'll remake it for meow!

Ask meow nicely. If meow is feeling generous, meow will give you a slice! 😻😹😺🐾🍕

Redundant since this is not our world. Kitties just let us live in it. 😻😹😺🐾

True story!

Agreed. English is so stoopid sometimes! I didn't read what you said as offensive at all. We're all good. 😺

You're right! The translation is such a disservice. That's why I prefer to simply use the Czech term, houskové knedlíky. My goal was to expand my cultural understanding by trying to make another country's food by hand. I'm very happy to say that I'm accomplishing that goal. 😻🇨🇿

Thank you! I'm very pleased for a first attempt.Thank you! I'm very pleased for a first attempt.

You're not far off. I was aiming for a poor man's svíčková by learning to make the houskové knedlíky first. My goal for the coming weeks is to make svíčková entirely by hand and do even better with the houskové knedlíky.

One step at a time. I'm proud of my first step. 😺🇨🇿

I'll do that next. I remember that in the Czech Republic. It's great!

Because somebody told me to Czech it out! 🇨🇿

Are you Hungary for my bad humor? I'll be here all night! 😹🇭🇺

Sorry how bad this humor is. I know it needs more Polish! 🇵🇱

Serious Answer: I was in the Czech Republic recently and really fell in love with some Czech food. I work from home and love to cook. So I wanted to see what I could recreate from home.

I love them. I don't think I nailed the presentation, but I nailed the execution. They tasted lovely!

I'm a Mexican trying to make Czech food. I'm definitely exploring a new dimension of my cooking. I'm having fun! 🇨🇿🇲🇽

México. I have Telcel. I pay 550 MXN (≈ 27 USD; €25.50; £21.20) and get 16 GB data + unlimited calling/text with free roaming in the United States and Canada. I also get free long distance to national numbers and United States and Canada.

One trick: my plan is technically 8 GB with a 2 × 1 promotion for 2 years. Every two years, all I do is ask them to renew my contract and my 2 × 1 promotion and I get my 16 GB back. I literally get 8 GB of data for the cost of a smile and a "por favor" every two years.

EDITED TO ADD: I get full 5G speeds in both México and in the United States and Canada. I get up to 200 Mbps in both México and the United States. While in the United States, I roam on the T Mobile network, so I'll get whatever the T Mobile network is capable of. I've never been to Canada, so I don't know how well it performs. But it's still part of my plan.

And, if I want native coverage in Latin America, EU, or UK, I can pay 950 MXN (≈ 46.60 USD; €44; £36.60) on demand for 10 GB of data for 30 days. Granted, travel eSIMs are a better deal, but the option is there.

It's not from Spain, no. You have the language correct, but but the continent. It's too bad, because the EU laws are better than ours. 😿🇪🇸🇪🇺

My exact plan if the the Twitter/𝕏 thread goes nowhere.

You'd guess right. Ironically, we have great consumer protection laws here and it's illegal here, too. But I doubt the authorities would do much without a flood of complaints.

And sadly, my Twitter/𝕏 thread with the company in private message is going nowhere. 😿
