It is a rug I bought from Turkey. It works rather well.

Boss left the company we both worked at. About nine months later, I hated my new boss and wanted to quit; he offered me a job.

I’ve risen through the ranks since then.

It will still probably end up like email. There will be a working group, public or private, that defines minimum spam requirements. If you don’t comply, you’ll be defederated.

Bring COVID and HIV to the USA in 1929.

Maybe Zika as well.

I’d like to see Japan deeply. I’d go all the way across the country and make sure to stay at rural spots along the way to enjoy the stillness between cities.

That’s hard to do when you have Alzheimer’s.

The understanding of races in Latin America had a lot more shades of grey compared to Anglo America.

In Latin America, there were words for the mixing of various peoples along with a gradation of allowed positions in society.

In contrast, Anglo America typically treated race as all or nothing. Even for mixed race people, they would get classified typically as the lower status race.

They get people to buy my services, so they aren’t that bad

Vacuuming helps because it can suck up bed bugs.

All of them.

If you have access to a vacuum cleaner with a handheld attachment, use that to vacuum in every crevice, no matter how small. Vacuum the bed, the mattress, the walls, everything.

It is reverse gambling.

Learn how to be an active listener.

And add a carrot and an onion and baby, you got a stew going.

When I do burritos, I refrigerate the hot fixings separately and only heat what I’m going to eat. I can usually get the food to last for a week in the fridge.

A duffle bag that folds up to be very small. That way, I fly out with only carryons and have a laundry bag that acts as a carry on bag in case I buy too much on vacation and can’t fit everything back in my luggage.

Someone else mentioned a walking around backpack separate from my flying/train riding backpack.

Travel wallet with Passport ID card. That way I’m carrying valid ID and some cash but not all my ID’s and cash.

Water bottles with integrated Britta filters.

That’s for actual residency. This seems to be able to exist in the country digitally. Other countries, like Estonia, have the same thing.

Zelenskyy probably read the room and had a plan in case something like this was going to happen.

Zelenskeyy walked away from this showing that the breakup with the USA wasn’t his fault and that he was willing to explore costly options for peace provided there were security guarantees. He then immediately went to Europe to tie up his support there.

If the USA is no longer going to support Ukraine, that was a great show to shift the blame onto Trump.

Because I want the future to say nice things about me.

This meeting isn’t something new or out of the blue, but will likely continue current trends.

Ukraine immediately reached out to European countries for support, many of whom indicated that they would support Ukraine even if the USA didn’t. I expect this to continue the creation of some kind of post NATO European defense treaty/system without American involvement.

This will also weaken a lot of other American led security alliances given that Trump has hinted at demanding more from them as well.
