Keep speaking those foreign languages!
I just rode into the city and back for a tooth extraction (which was not fun) and it's very hot. Okay when you're moving but not when stopped at lights.
Feels like 31c.
Video footage of the Sept 2 incident has finally been shown to members of Congress, with adverse reactions from members of both parties. The video reportedly shows that the 2 survivors struggled for 41 minutes to get the remaining part of the boat upright so they wouldn’t drown. Then they were killed.

A man of peace?
Just when I was hoping to see the pictures, I was directed to download the app, even after choosing to read on the site instead of the app. Not downloading the app means I can’t read beyond the first paragraph.
Louisiana is also how and humid, providing a Club Med for cockroaches. Years ago I concocted a mixture of boric acid and oil that produced a respectable number of carcasses. I’m curious about whether this is an even better solution.
So, Splinter , could you please share the recipe?
Here's the original article
Don't look at the pictures
Excellent and he also nails Biden!
We used the aircon for the first time this year, especially in my den at the top of the house.
I have cancelled my ChatGPT subscription and I have moved to the free Gemini. It is not better, but it is as good as the paid ChatGPT.
I've just written an article about Copilot and Gemini on DCT and it will be published shortly. So now I'm trying Grok and ChatGPT with the same image ideas to see how they compare. It's just a bit of fun really, yet the results are surprising. I sub to Copilot 365 family plan which my brother pays for and to Google One Standard which is only around $3 per month.
I'm glad it was censored 
Very fluffy!
Dogs have owners, cats have staff!
Was it hypocritical of us to applaud him for bribing Argentina to elect Milei-favoring legislators?
Does the end justify the means?
Sometimes, yes.
This is a heartfelt speech from Mr Cagney.
It therefore begs the question, would it be hypocritical of us to applaud him if he managed to overthrow Maduro?
Yesterday I popped into a Chinese mini market in Martinez because I know they always have my favourite beer, Imperial Golden 710ml in the coolers. It's actually one of the smartest Chinese shops I've been and to my surprise the girl at the till is Argentine, unlike some of the other places where the person at the till is usually a rude Chinese.
Anyway, I also knew that she gives discount for cash, so I bought two and the price each was reduced from $3500 to $3300, but the odd thing is that she scanned both but still only charged me a total of $3300. I even gave her time to spot the mistake, but then made a sharp exit.
Reading that article was simply nauseating.
It reminds me of the government's announcement that petrol stations could introduce self service which never happened.
Update: crazy whiteout snow is now blowing across the lake. This photo shows what we had before the new round started. No asado here!
And then the sleet started.
The lake woke up and, like a bear coming out of hibernation, it started roaring. The sound is overwhelming.
I had no idea that the Great Lakes could be so dangerous and had never heard of the Edmond Fitzgerald, until now, thanks to Gordon Lightfoot.
We have two street lights outside our bedroom window and in the damp weather, midges/gnats in their thousands get attracted by them. But they then manage to get past the mosquito sheet in the window and possibly through other gaps and plague us, even when no lights are on in the bedroom.
We have double glazing in that room and I now shut the windows tight and lower the blind, which is also new, which keep the buggers out. But yesterday I forgot and it was like an infestation, horrible. In the end, after shutting everything down, I grabbed our powerful vacuum cleaner and managed to get rid of then, even though they kept reappearing from nowhere.
Lesson learned and windows and blinds get closed up tight at about 5pm.
