Covid-19 lockdown check-in

I think this is the only time where Grumbler quotes me and doesn't give me shit.

Kinda.

But it's too cold right now to actually do protests. Quebec's got a curfew too.

I was asking more about people bitching and squawking inside stores.  You know, Karens.

  I may sometimes disagree with you, but I don't give you shit.  I never, for instance (unlike others) given you shit when you use a wrong word in English.  I give shit to the arrogant (being arrogant myself sometimes), but think you are a great guy who adds a lot to the forum.

I'd be glad to see evidence to the contrary.  Maybe you are seeing something I am doing inadvertently.

Not that I know of. Our covidiots bitch on social media. Our most vocal issue is those that want to go on vacation in the south anyway.

Got the first jab today.  Not a zombie yet. 

Only side effect so far is the sore arm...feels like when I had a bruise on the arm from being nipped by a horse a year or so back...but without the bruise discoloration. 

But most of the effects (flu-like symptoms, cold chills, etc) are supposed to come after jab #2.

As long as the side effects aren't worse than the 2nd Shingles Vaccine I got - that sucked for about 10 hours.

Addendum - on the Google reviews page for Five Guys, someone posted the full menu if people want tot see the prices. Reviews are either 1 or 5, with nothing in between.

There is a Five Guys in my hometown that opened a few weeks before the pandemic. Never went there, but before the virus, there were queues outside. There are plenty of good burger places in my town though. Not sure what makes them supposedly special.

There's a few in Barcelona, they opened them a couple years ago. I wasn't a fan when I lived in the US, so haven't checked them out.

Then again, I loved Jack In The Box

@Syt What's the Oil use for the frying?

@Syt What's the Oil use for the frying?

I have no idea.

[Admiral Yi]

@Syt What's the Oil use for the frying?

I'm guessing peanut oil, based on the fact that underneath fries it says "cooked in peanut oil."

You have a keen eye!

I found it strange that a menu in Austria (I assumed) would be written entirely in English, so I was reading through it to see if there were any cases where they had translated.

Picture the scene.  A family run restaurant in a small town in Northern Italy.   The grandmother, who does all the cooking, comes out to see us. She is very happy we are there.  Her grandson, who speaks passable English, translates for us. I ask her what her specialty is.  She absolutely glows with pride as she points to the menu item which is translated as "overcooked horsemeat".

What is one to do, I order it.  And it turns out to be an amazing slow cooked dish.

On the way out I leave a written note of the correct translation for the grandson.
