what if the plaza was actually a plaza?? idk, idk

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen was filled with cars until a 2 year pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street. pic.twitter.com/lvQmnXoX0d

I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing at this. I want to know if this dude is married and his wife can't bear to tell him, or if his boys constantly chirp him but he thinks they are joking.

I was starting to get worried that it was fake because that IG post is not on their  page.
Canco it's real. This guy had apparently worked in corrections before becoming a sergeant in 2019

Is it dads everywhere or specifically dads from the Midwest who say “we needed that” after a heavy rainstorm?

"XXX River is up/down" every time drive over it.

Oh man both of these

yeah and new yorkers have this crazy way of saying "wanted" and other similar words, with huge emphasis on the T and last syllable

Was reading the article and then this struck me in the eyes:                                                                                                           https://fox4kc.com/news/invasive-jumping-worms-spreading-throughout-missouri-kansas-and-more/?ipid=promo-link-block2

 

If you find a small population, jumping worms’ tails separate from their bodies when caught, so experts say the best way to get rid of it is to seal it in a plastic bag, leave it in the sun for 10 minutes and then toss it in the trash.

Just finished A Perfect Spy by John LaCarre. I normally like his novels but I hated this one. Would not recommend.

i am reading A Perfect Spy and it's unlike any other Le Carre. i mean there is still spy stuff, but so far a good bit of it reads like Great Expectations

yeah he kind of meandered around too much with his coming of age retrospective junk but whatever. i still liked it

I just realized that I say "HUNt-N" instead of "Hun-ting" .

This applies to any similar combination of sounds. For example, you surely say "Mount-n" instead of "Moun-tain".

Astute observation, my dewd

it's not a place to drink, it's more of a place to pick up wings to go. also i don't think liquor licenses are as easy to obtain as you might think

I think it was that 30% raise he got recently

That is called the "Biden bump"

ftr there were several available images that were less pixellated but this one felt right

Oh man, if you went to a sleepover in the 90's and this was there along with a N64 crap was going down. A bunch of 10-12 year olds just playing golden eye or mario kart until 1am when the parents came down and unplugged it.

« on: May 17, 2022, 01:35:30 PM »

unrelated, but question for any ITK pianists...whenever i (zero experience on the piano) am playing the air piano (frequently) my go-to move is thumb and ring finger hitting at the same time. What do you think? Am i probably a natural? Should i take up this instrument?

The first and fourth is always a hit!  If you really want to jam, throw the pinky in there too...though that chord is always a little sus.

can't believe this wasn't a spracne post
