Same here. My company also has a plant in Conroe they kept open, which I think is crazy. But after Rita and the highway gridlock margarita parties, I sort of get it. At least my German coworker temporarily working down there is getting to experience a new American phenomenon.

Only Louise Linton can afford this crap

The sad thing is that she isn’t old enough to look that way yet

See that’s the thing. For like a season I swear they stopped calling them Mounties, then started again, but all the while referencing US things. A lot of Hallmark movies are actually made and set in Canada, so I think it’s just an intentional vagueness on their part

They’re very slowly dipping their toes into it. I am surprised it’s taking them longer than the Bachelor franchise.

They also may or may not have moved it from Canada to the US? It’s very unclear after Season 1 what country it’s set in. I gloss over most of the Christianity plots because it’s generally benign, vague Christianity.

UT grad here. I always thought it was interesting we had Confederate statues. Texans tend to not identify with the Confederacy, then or now, except for the novelty of how many “countries” have ruled Texas. That being said, Texas republic freaks are just as bad and I doubt UT will ever remove statues of them

Denver had a grilled cheese festival a few months ago and ran out of grilled cheese very quickly. I think they ended up ordering pizzas to appease the writhing masses who paid $40+ to go? I also think Dolly Parton was there? It was weird

I worry about overzealous violent mobs and the #notHillary Bernie Bros fringe groups too. But would it be better if we on the left went back to antipathy?

Wow! No but thank you for sharing

Arpaio also stalked and threatened my former law professor, who was hired by the state of Arizona to investigate him for ethical violations. You know you’re a bad dude when you attempt to harm an administrative law professor (aka a boring dude)

I’m a woman. I was full time in law school and working full time at the time, so I had 1 night to do all social things. Multiple dates was a way to be efficient. If you go on enough dates, it become easy to tell if the date is good within 30 min-1 hour, but it never becomes easy to eat that much in one night

We’re the only country that can refine their oil, there’s no way we’d go to war. All we need to do is revise the oil and then they’re screwed

I hedge energy for my company as part of my job duties and had our VP ask me what the forward curve on electricity will look like when North Korea bombs us. This is our new normal folks! (Side note: North Korea attempts to hack our energy utilities every single day. If they’re going to attack us, I would predict…

I’m not positive whether you’re joking, but I once went on 3 dinner dates in one night. It was awful

When was this again? I work for a can manufacturing company. The industry really is consolidating, you’re right. Btw I can’t believe you drank Spaten! I mean you’re in Europe, at least get a Trappist ale

It’s because hunting is a “sport” and you’re hunting “game”. In fact, hunting was the first sport, so logically its accoutrements would be located with other sporting goods. That being said, I think it’s real weird you can buy guns at Walmart.

You are remembering correctly! Not sure why this person won’t let the whole thing go and, more important, why it’s bothering me

What you’ve shown is that Heineken is brewed in NL, not canned. I would know because I work for a company called Crown. We can Heineken across the world. Why are you digging in your heels on this? So weird.

You should let this go. You’re finding random things on the internet that aren’t giving you the whole picture and disputing now two people who work in the industry. I’ve witnessed this beer being canned in two continents outside Europe (btw it’s the Netherlands, not Holland. Calling it Holland is like calling our…
