That's why we up here in Canadaland will be building a moat filled with carnivorous attack beavers to keep marauding southerners at bay.

Whatever else ya Yankees think about Bernie, you missed your only chance at an inauguration with a Killer Mike performance.

In Homo Deus, Yuval Hariri succinctly makes the point that while artificial consciousness is unattainable in the near future, artificial intelligence is imminent and has a good chance of facilitating a substantial collapse of the human population, if not extinction, either at the instigation of its masters, or of its…

…and in the end got singed, but not fired.

Waaay too many examples come to mind. The retired ravers among us may be too ashamed to admit how effectively the early rave scene specialized in (chemically-assisted) goosebump inducing beats, most of which are unabashedly cheese. I think though FSOL's Papua New Guinea can still stand: https://youtu.be/wfWMv8Y1V5E

The finale of Beethoven's 9th is grand, but the opening of the second movement of the Seventh is the only piece of music that makes me feel like I've stepped into the Afterworld (with out pharmaceutical association). Truly chills.

Is Bela Lugosi dead?

And to get there, you would have to take Dali's Car.

No, that's only for doggie fecal matter.

I recommend a cheap Suzuki 4wd. Worked beautifully on the drive to Jökulsárlón, including a few off-road trails. Also, gas is crazy expensive.

So not true. Has anyone everyone achieved the climactic ecstasy of finally getting the double loop-de-loop to work in the Fast & the Furious franchise?

Yeah, I see them in the vicious tradition of classic satire. Irredeemable and excessive offense is a necessary ingredient. Yes, they are assholes with biases, but they perform an important public service that I don't think any other American entertainment providers do.

Yes! Green curry is so versatile - my fav ingredients: fish, mushroom and pumpkin.

So what you're saying is that he can be repeeled?

Something something from orbit, just to be sure.

I guess there must be a few ways, but this way made for some very tasty patacones:
- cut green plantain into 2-3 inch long pieces
- fry on each end until slight browning (I used coconut oil).
- remove and mash pieces individually into 2-3 inch wide, about 3/8 1/2 inch thick.
- let cool a bit
- fry again in oil, both sides
-…

Finally got someone to show me how to make patacones with some proper technique. Topped with chicken mole or slow-cooked wild boar(pulled) and a bit o' tomatillo salsa, sour cream and habanero.

Sure. Like you could only really say that Kate Hudson was almost famous.
Sorry.
