I think this whole thing got started by Omnipollo in Sweden a few years back. They started producing stunt beers like “Pecan Coconut Raspberry Mud Cake” stouts and “Pistachio Milk Toffee Ice Coffee Pineapple Triple Fruited” Imperial Goses. Huge on Instagram. We have had a few on tap but they’re suuuuper expensive and

“The Mallorcas”? Oh, come on! It wouldn’t be fair to expect you to know every detail of a foreign country’s geography, but jeez that’s like someone referring to Topeka as “The Kansases”.

Mallorca is an island. It is part of the Balearic Islands, along with Ibiza, Menorca, and Formentera (and a couple dozen little

Upscale resort town in Spain checking in. They. Are. Horrible. I have stopped going to the restaurants at night because I nearly went across the bar at an asshole a while back. They’re just...mean. They are trying to hurt others. They are also NOT our regulars - several staff have commented that these are mostly local

Oh, I love America Week! We have it at LIDL in Spain, too, though mostly with a different-though-similar mix of unholy lost in translation. Do you guys not get the cans of “pulled pork soup” in Germany?

This is the right answer. The silk cooks with the rest and a simple dish towel will remove the husk and silk all in one go, clean as a whistle. 

It will, however, be vetted by Xenu. 

MKBHD just did a pretty detailed video that covers the difference between all three (spoiler: even after 30 minutes of cranking cinebench they are pretty much tied; the Mini is a bit faster than both portables). There was also some preliminary tests of Intel vs. Optimized software. The consensus is that Intel software

I just want them to bring back the 12" form factor. I recently switched from a 12" Macbook to a 13" Macbook Air and the difference in weight and bulk is way more than I thought it would be.

I just want an option for “take me to the parking garage nearest this address”. In Barcelona at least that can be 2-3 blocks away, up various one-way streets, etc. If I’m driving it is more likely I will need to park my car near my destination than just abandon it in the middle of the street right in front of the

Same. American living in Spain. After great success earlier in the year, we’re back to skyrocketing case numbers and a hodge-podge of lockdowns that nobody really respects (not even the police) due to a culture of “no pasa nada”, and lack of strong leadership by a coalition government that is hanging on to power by a

This osteopath that’s speaking as the White House physician is different from the nutty old guy with the stringy hair that swore up and down he was in perfect health a few years ago. I wonder why the change.

I run the server on a low-end NAS with no issues at all, as long as it doesn’t need to transcode (it really shouldn’t, turn transcoding off if that’s what’s happening). OTOH the Plex client on Android TV has become such a huge, bloated, and laggy mess that I finally uninstalled all the updates on my NVidia Shield and

Since we reopened on June 8, we’ve been busy. But I don’t recognize almost any of the customers. We’re in a tourist town and have a very loyal group of regular locals during low season; these are the ones I expected to be back, but...it’s not them. The customers now are locals, but they’re new, many have never been in

Just Eat is the shittiest food delivery service in Europe so it’s a perfect match. 

A quick check of xtube suggests about 117,758 people.

It's money in escrow, which seems to be the secret sauce that made this market different from the others. They were (it seems) running a long con, gaining trust among buyers and sellers alike, until sales were high enough that the week's worth of funds held in escrow were sufficient to make it worth absconding with

Chickens are also plucked using a very similar machine. The process is a bit less, um, dignified though.
