Mine looked like Julio Gallo.

Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

My other grandpa looked like a white version of Chairman Mao later in life.

Actually it was just his profile.  And the hair to some extent.

I guess he really didn't look that much like him.

It was his imposition of a local "cultural revolution" that provided the resemblance?  ;)

It was probably his revolutionary grilling techniques.

A 6 yo kid has been diagnosed with Diphteria in a village in Catalonia because his parents are some kind of retarded new age nuts who are against vaccines. This is the first case since 1987. I hope that social services take the custody of the kid, in case he survives.

I see McD now has an app that lets you order/pay your meal from their restaurant, so that you only have to pick it up.

I think Taco Bell and Chipotle have a similar app.  I don't trust them to not screw up my order somehow via the app. 

I'd prefer to order from a touchscreen kiosk at the place itself.  Ironically, a gas station chain (Sheetz) has about the perfect system IMO at their MTO locations.  Food is surprisingly good as well.

We've just had the first case of diphtheria in nearly 30 years in Spain, thanks to some idiot vaccine-deniers that didn't vaccinate their kid. The 6 year old is seriously ill at the moment and the hospital had to fly in medication from Russia, since we didn't have any of it in all of Western Europe, since this illness is - you know - eradicated in practice.

Merkel welcomed Egypt's dictator Sisi today in Berlin, his first state visit to a Western nation.

In totally unrelated news, Siemens got the biggest order in its 160 year history today. For 3 gas power plants in Egypt.
