Nice house you got there. Wouldn't want anything to happen to it. Things burn, you know.

Yup, very subtle.

When I was younger we played role played so much over so many different systems that we eventually would just "play" any world and scenario we wanted. D20 for skills and resistance, d6 and d10 for damage and percentage spreads.

We didn't need a lot of rules because we knew how games worked.

Eventually others would join us and be playing right away because we weren't a bunch of rule lawyers.

If approach it like that. Very simple subset of rules to get them playing without fussing over everything.

So a lot of crypto exchanges (all?) require this type of verification. I assume the next thing is turning this into a payment app using crypto. That sounds very musky.

I have always assumed they were looking at a washed out, faded display screen that kind of flickered occasionally and showed them a view of the surrounding area but not necessarily what they were looking at.

People should pause and realize for many men emasculation is: having someone decide what burger they are getting without consulting them, a spouse that earns more money, and having to look after their own children. We have some work to do.

Yes, the realization that this was discussed as if it were statements from the Mexican government instead of to them was a bit of a letdown.

It's an increasingly popular first search goto for basic research for a lot of people. YouTube was like that for a long time in the same way Amazon is for product searches.

Not a great trend.

I am often overwhelmed with interacting and need a break even with people I love. I just need quiet time.

If it goes anything like the last public naming: Streety McStreetface.

I had surgery and was in a hospital for twelve days and I could not use hot water the entire time because their water system had legionnaires contamination. You can't use hot water because of the steam. My brother explained how hard it would be to remove it. So they just use cold water in the taps. Pretty wild. This was only a few years ago.

Always taking the wheel.

They will not get involved with you if you don't approach them. Don't do business with them. These guys are not messing around.

However, I have had numerous experiences with people in the group you mentioned. I lived in a neighborhood where they had a clubhouse and it was much quieter and had less crime during their time there.

I worked in a kitchen at a restaurant they frequented for private parties close to that clubhouse. They smoked so much hash. This was decades ago. They tipped very well, were polite to the staff, and never caused a scene (we had a separate entrance in the back they used).

I have been aquatinted with people who were in different states of involvement with them. They had different outcomes. Some fine (tangential to crime not really involved) and others who fared worse. The fared worse guys were like useful pretty criminals who they took advantage of because they wanted to be associated with that group and wouldn't take the hint to get lost. I'm not discussing specifics.

Finally, if you're life their neighbour and they ask you to come over for a beer just say you're busy. If a guy shows up from out of town and you run into him in the driveway don't ask why he's there. They won't involve you in their business but might notice if you seem curious.

The 80s were a great time to be a kid but, yeah, no one cared if we got terrified to the point of not being able to sleep on a regular basis. :)

The threat of nuclear war wasn't awesome either but we had punk rock, D&D, and it still made sense to buy comic books.

I was in a hospital for 12 days that had legionnaires disease causing bacteria all through the water pipes so you had to only use cold water. The steam from hot water, inhaled, is how you get it. So, you know, you were onto something there.

No worries, there other ways to work in food services. Breakfast cooking was a favorite of mine because I was mostly alone until 9 or 10 am in different hotels (you start at 5). Just you and the bacon. When breakfast is over it help with lunch and then you're done.

Pastry and bakery shops are also usually much more professional environments where attention to detail and consistency are very important. I have worked in a few of these (once full time, mostly just helping out here and there as needed in hotels) and it's nothing like the main kitchen.

You can also work in banquet venues where there's less yelling and stress compared to a la carte cooking.

One thing I really liked is if you worked hard, helped others when they needed it, and did your share of the cleaning, and showed up days after day you were part of the crew. I worked with people that could barely read, lapsed philosophers, guy training to be a pilot, washed up old guys who didn't know anything else, and we had each other's backs. It was good a lot of the time.

I'm not sure, that's not something I know much about. I do know that utterances under oath can be used to open new investigations and as testimonial evidence in other trials but I'm not sure how that works.

Let's hope?

I can enjoy a good restaurant but get really upset at crappy ones. I mean the kind of crappy you can detect with this kind of background. Like terrible menu choices that you know mean tons of frozen product or line cooks that have so many dishes to remember that they just wing it on half of them.

And I'll never spend my own money to have someone else cook me a steak. :)

If Trump takes the stand and is under oath, he will say anything he can to shift culpability to others.
