I can understand that people might want to demonstrate outside the convention, but who are the delegates inside booing Clinton’s name? As elected as delegates of the Democrat party, if they can’t support the Democrat Presidential Candidate they shouldn’t be there.

It’s appropriate that this article is in “Adequate Man”.

Knallerfrauen is the best german comedy in the last 30 years.

In Germany most beaches have Strandkörbe you can rent. Like a double sun lounger with a canopy. (do a google image search for strandkorb). These nearly always have a drawer that can be locked with a padlock and you can put the key in your trunks pocket when you go swimming.

People will see you doing this so it’s not really secure. The main advantage is it takess someone with enough balls to sit down and uncover the bag before leaving, where as a wallet in a shoe can be grabbed in a split second

For peolpe who live in other contries, can you tell us what Bengay is. I have never heard of it, and I’m guessing it is a brand name.

You make the assumtion that the umataro42 is US American.

“thanks to an incredibly obvious handball”

About half of the time I find photos of me cringeworthy. I always find recordings of my voice cringeworthy. I’m sure the main reason is it’s an unfamiliar “view” of something we think we are familiar with.

The shoe box for socks is a good idea, but stacking the socks is not the way to go. This is a last in first out queue. Having gone to the bother of folding the socks, they stand up well enough and you can stand them in a row like books on a bookcase resulting in a First in First out queue.

Unless you were expected to find new results (normally only a requirement at PhD level) or you just rewote a couple of reports in your own words then a C grade seems extremely harsh. If you developed the project and carried out the lab work then you have demonstrated necessary skills, or did you write up the report in…

“By the time I was born though they had both stopped, so I never grew up knowing or seeing that in my life.”

“If you have leftover antibiotics, for example, you probably didn’t take them as prescribed.”

Exactly, and some of the vodka will stay in the filter as well so, which in itself bumps up the cost a bit

“But what about the directional no oxygen crystal lattice recycled blue jean cables that are guaranteed to have less jitter and counterclockwise axis rotation?”

Too late. An automatic update to windows 10 trashed a lapotop of mine.

But not all “Shy” people are the same sort of “Shy”. I know people who would find a question like “What is your favourite food?” extremely patronising which sends the message “I’m not interested in this question nor the answer, I am just obligated to say something”

I agree with many of your gatway games, especially Carcassonne. But I would disagree with Pandemic. It’s a bit two Rulesy for many reluctant gamers. Two particularly good gateway games that are social and quite quick to play are Bohnanza and Mama Mia. (check them out on Board Game Geek).
