Thank you for making my point for me!

What I find amazing is how so few non-Apple people can have an intelligent discussion about someone’s preferences for it. I’m not an Apple superfan unable to view its copious flaws. Instead, I am able to formulate a coherent reason for why it is the right choice for me and why Windows and Android are not competitors…

I moved to Mexico from Canada last year and drove down with whatever fit in my truck. Last week, I went back to my property to bring back as much of what I’d left behind as my luggage allowance would allow — mostly personal papers, books, and photo albums. It’s a good thing I had realistic expectations for what 100 pou…

Ah, was just about to say this! I finally got over my hoarder habits after the first time I had to pay for a move.

As a native French speaker, I remain amused by how using a French word makes English people think something like cold cuts is fancy. :)

What I said. Thank you. A rare Canadian I’d be happy to have a beer with! :)

Thank you SO MUCH for reminding me of why I loathe most Canadians!

Cheapest Netflix subscription in the world. I’ve accessed the US, Canadian, UK, Spanish, Mexican, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Bosnian libraries and the Mexican is to me the best library of all of them in terms of amount of good content. I watch shows and movies in three languages (French, English, Spanish) and this is…

You’ve obviously never tried to access QC content out of Quebec, never been to Mexico, but are correct about the third part — I miss Canadian sheep about as much as they miss me!

Can’t get Hulu out of the US. :-|

I’m happy to answer your questions! I’m glad you found my comments helpful.

“For many countries overseas, communication (TV, internet, and phone) are run by the government owned telecommunications company.”

This kind of BS is why I used to torrent so much when I lived in Canada (thank goodness for Mexican Netflix!!!). I’m happy to pay for content if it’s readily available to me. But until broadcasters finally get it into their brains that we live in a global world, I will not jump through hoops or wait months (and likely…

I was meh and then I saw the magic ingredient -- the olives. The kind with pimento centres okay or...

The spreader bars are a very good example of Euro-centrism. *wry grin*

You’re very welcome! Here’s another useful link:

The heat was one of the many reasons I gave up my Euro-centricism and decided to try the hammock. I prefer not to use AC so I can stay acclimatised to the local weather. It’s so wonderful not wake up all sweaty after a night of NOT tossing and turning, even if it was 30C+ in the room. I’ve had one cool night in the…

I’m getting so tired of that Euro-centric reaction to my adopting a bed that many peoples have slept in for millennia.

Or sleeping in a Mayan hammock. Blissful sleep, I have discovered thee at last.

Am I glad to no longer live in a country that believes there is such a nonsensical thing as “breakfast food.”
