We have a Londoner-owned British restaurant in the Dallas area (From Across the Pond) and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed trying almost everything on their menu. Mad props to their Bubble & Squeak, and shepherd’s pie.

Kelly’s Roast Beef in Boston was really good.

We have them in Dallas. Meh. Decent burger, but they fail with their chalky fries.

I liked Danny’s in Minneapolis. Their Juicy Lucy burger was worth the wait.

Dallas:
>Zaguan - A Venezuelan/Argentinan cafe/coffee shop/bakery. Very good, and has a nice GF selection if you need that.
>Sonny Bryan’s BBQ on Inwood. It’s the original. Don’t bother with the franchises in other locations. Get the ribs
> Chocolate Secrets on Oak Lawn - This is for dessert. A great little Chocolate…

You might want to eventually swap out those kit lenses for a nice 18-200 lens. The convenience is massive. You can get a nice used one for $345 on Amazon, or $650 new.

Red Robin is my downfall.
“You mean, you’ll just keep bringing me fries?” /sniff “I Think I need a moment here.”

Always know the photo policies in any space you’re in. Most of the time it’s OK. Sometimes it isn’t. If it isn’t, don’t be “that guy.” Especially if you’re American... don’t be the Ugly American. Be the cool American who people are glad to see.

Edit: She also found out that Socialized Medicine kinda sucks. They slapped the wrong steel plate in there. It was too big. Which means that she got to have a second surgery when she got back to the states to fix the Irish Doctor’s fuck-up.

Actually, Sanders was unemployed until he was in his 40s, when he won an election. And his newest house was a $600,000 beach house. And this isn’t a generic 70 year old saving his money. This is the guy who preaches the evils of capitalism while enjoying all of the privileges of capitalism.

I love my wife too, but I’m…

Don’t conflate health insurance with health care. The two are entirely different animals.

Agreed. This bad trope assumes that “doing the same thing” includes complete control over every factor imaginable. Many times trying again works because some factor has changed that the person trying isn’t aware of.

All the while buying that third luxury home and helping his wife defraud her employer for millions. #manofthepeople

Many politicians are freaky looking beasts.

So when are we quitting the ACA? It’s been a disaster and a failure from inception as well. I’m not going to defend Obamacare-lite here, because it sucks about as bad as the ACA, but a little objectivity might do you some good when slamming one side’s bad plan over the other side’s bad plan.

Here’s the list of Anki’s shared Geography card sets:

Anki is a good one with a lot of downloadable content, and is pretty easy to make your own on. My wife did a lot with biblical Hebrew when she was in that class.

It has a pretty good userbase that uploads their flash cards.

My wife may be the biggest flash-card nerd in the universe. She swears by the Anki app.

My sister found out that Ireland doesn’t take their insurance, so she and her husband had to pay through the nose when she broke her ankle in Dublin.

Arizona (Or at least parts of it) is a beautiful state. The wildlife is interesting, and the vistas are amazing. We spent a week in Tucson a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it... except for all of those damn bicyclists.
