Quote from: Valmy on February 14, 2025, 02:19:57 PMI give my wife various lobster related things for Valentine's Day pretty regularly thanks to that scene.
Yeah, my late wife and I were always referencing that scene. 
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Heh, we used to cook lobster with one of my former GFs as a romantic thing, but it was because of the scene in Annie Hall.

Did anyone watch this year's Grammy's?  I had never watched it previously, but my roomy had it on and I sat down.

Will Smith started his comeback by hosting a tribute to Quincy Jones. His appearance was bizarre.  He was scrunching his head down the whole time and he had this drugged up looking smile on. He looked permanently broken.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

He's tall bloke, soundslike he's getting back problems in later life and is probably taking some strong painkillers, hence sounding not so sharp?

The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

That sounds pretty negative.

I might be going to Cali in Colombia in a few months.
It doesn't seem the safest or nicest place in the world, so I guess I'll just work then go. But I am tempted to take advantage of being in the americas to pop in somewhere better on the way home.
At a glance possibilities seem to be Miami or Panama :hmm:

Very jealous. I've not been to Colombia but everyone I know who has raves about it - especially the Caribbean coast so maybe look into Cartagena and Barranquilla (home of Shakira). But they've liked Bogota too.

I'd like to go one day. Miami is also one of the few American cities that really appeals.

No impression of Panama :lol:
Let's bomb Russia!

Columbia is better than the two places you listed.

Advice from Brazilians i know, but should be applicable "Don't wear jewelry, don't look rich, don't use cash, stick to where you see other tourists  and you'll be fine" 
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.
