So small dick energy and big dick energy are both insults?
What of medium dick?

According to a recent article I read, big dick energy isn't an insult, at least it wasnt considered one by the female journalist. She explained it as an expression for the calmly confident behaviour of a guy who knows he has nothing to prove

The pizza box thing seems weird. He was at home not hiding away in  some compound. Wouldn't authorities know he's in the country just from when he entered with his passport? Or is Romania just behind in electronic tracking?

Dear Amazon delivery people.
If my package doesn't fit in the letter box then ring the bloody door bell or knock on the door.
Don't just leave my package in the garden.
If you must do this, then at least putting through a little card to tell me it has came is the standard.

That seems unclear, esp. since they brought him in for questioning in April already, and he posted a vid from Romania a few days ago.

Asked Amazon twice in recent weeks to delay delivery till a Friday, when I'm home.

Was ignored twice. The second time, the package hadn't even left their warehouse when I asked for the reschedule.

Maybe they didn't know where he was in Romania?

I've only seen BDE used as a positive.

What about "big, swinging dick"- good or bad?

[Tonitrus]

Bad, if it puts an eye out.

I saw the National Archives are doing their annual release of new cabinet/government papers - and it's now into the early 2000s which I remember very well. In a historic archive

That's how I saw 30 year olds when I was Ash's age, tbf

German public broadcaster ARD has been broadcasting their news program from 20 years prior for a long time now (their - usually 15 minute long - 8 o'clock news is still *the* main news braodcast of the day for many Germans, I think). I remember watching the ones from 1970s in the 90s, with the resignation of Willy Brandt, or the FIFA World Cup in Germany and such and being quite fascinated. Now they're re-broadcasting programs that aired *after* I first watched this.

The ones from 1989 - 2002: https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/tsvorzwanzigjahren100.html

Actually watching the one from 31/12/2002.

Leading story: the inaugural voyage of the Transrapid in China (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transrapid )

Also:

- Kofi Annan saying weapons inspections in Iraq are going well, there'll be a report in January '03 and there's no reason to go to war
- German finance minister saying the first year of EUR cash use has been a success
