I went to Popeyes a couple times on the US Army base in Schweinfurt in the late 90s. I liked it a lot.
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.

Seems the scientists have recognised my pain.

BBC News - Non-burping can damage quality of life, researchers say
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-67774902

It's very rare that I burp. Always used to be a thing when drinking that I had to do a handstand or put my fingers down my throat to force one. The only time I'll burp normally is when I'm going to puke.

Since flag redesigns seem in fashion, Kyrgyzstan is adopting a new flag. Old one on the left, new one on the right.



Still looks like they're sponsored by XBox and/or Xerox, though.

The pharmacy from my hometown where I used to buy all my pharmacy stuff has sold winning tickets of the Spanish Christmas lottery. As a matter of coping with FOMO, I always buy Christmas lottery from all my usual stores (it's typical over here for businesses of all kinds to sell Xmas lottery).

If I had never left my hometown I would be: rich

Is this a life lesson?

I slept 18 hours today. Had a 40 degree temperature. Typical as soon as I'm off work.

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

For the first 10 or so years of my career the same thing would happen to me. 

I sympathize.  :console:

For me at least it was pre-kids.

I actually think it was the kids that cured me of that particular problem.

My hips are already hurting just thinking of being in bed for so long.

A Popeye's is opening right by my house.  I'm looking forward to it.  Popeye's Chicken is the shiznit.

Luckily we're visiting my partners parents so I'm not necessary for child wrangling.
Though it does make the already complex sleeping arrangements in their 2 bedroom flat even worse with me taking whole big bed to myself so as not to infect anyone.  :blush:

I just checked and it looks like they don't sell jambalaya anymore. :mad: Fuck, it was shockingly good for a fast food place.  Oh well.

Maybe it's just the ones near me, but the quality has dipped. When did Burger Hortons buy them out?

Reading about Yukio Mishima's first trip the west. San Fran, Rio, New York , Paris, London etc. Then at the end of the paragraph: "For some unknown reason, he also took a day trip to Guildford" :lol:
