Amazon is running a black friday sale in the UK from today through next Friday. :hmm:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I've read New Jersey has the densest population in the US. Guller, is that your experience?
It used to be that way before I moved there.
:lol:  Nice one.

Just walked past the the local (mainly Nigerian) pentecostal church and there are hundreds of Chinese people going to some sort of event. Never seen it so busy. They've needed to hire security the queues to get in are so big :huh:

1st Century version of "Why do you never call", by Pliny:

https://sententiaeantiquae.com/2019/11/21/pliny-with-an-epistolary-guilt-trip/

QuotePliny, Letters 3.17

"Is the reason your letters have not come for so long because everything is going well? Or, is everything good but you are really busy? Or are you not that busy but just have barely any time for writing?

Please take this worry away from me, I can't handle it! Do it even if you have to send a courier. I will pay the cost and top him too as long as he tells me what I want.

I am well, if to be well is to live in suspense and worry, expecting all day long and fearing that anything which can hurt a person as happened to my dearest friend."

Plinius Iulio Serviano Suo S.

Rectene omnia, quod iam pridem epistulae tuae cessant? an omnia recte, sed occupatus es tu? an tu non occupatus, sed occasio scribendi vel rara vel nulla? Exime hunc mihi scrupulum, cui par esse non possum, exime autem vel data opera tabellario misso. Ego viaticum, ego etiam praemium dabo, nuntiet modo quod opto. Ipse valeo, si valere est suspensum et anxium vivere, exspectantem in horas timentemque pro capite amicissimo, quidquid accidere homini potest. Vale.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

The judgement on beef wellington is a little harsh.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of Scottish culinary culture.
