Your hot takes are usually correct. Takes me a lot longer sometimes to see the right response to something.

Pierre Poilievre - Conservative Party of Canada

There’s a video on his website with the pronunciation. Sounds like β€œpolly-ev” to me.

So sorry for you and your family. Sounds like Snoop and you were a good match for each other.

β€œFangorn” didn’t work either, unfortunately for Tolkien fans (of which I am one).

It’s been a while since I used it, but there might be a β€œflatten PDF” option in Adobe that would resolve the problem.

Try printing to PDF instead of saving as a PDF (if you haven’t already). Sometimes saved PDFs contain fillable fields or other features that ECF doesn’t like.

This is what I received in one of their small boxes. (Sent them the photo with a request for identification of the different types, but didn’t get a response). They occasionally have sales with free shipping, so I’d wait for those. The shipping is sometimes more than the bananas.

I’ve ordered from them. The Gros Michel bananas are good (despite not tasting like artificial banana flavor) but they have other varieties that are even better. The Pisang Raja is delicious.

Back view of AC Milan’s new shirt, with alternating red and black stripes. The stripes coming over the shoulders from the front do not match up with the stripes on the back.

Really like the new AC Milan 125th anniversary shirt, but the failure to match up the stripes from the front with the ones on the back will keep me from getting one. Shame, really.

The Name of the Rose is streaming on Prime, so I watched it again. Such a good movie, but I’m always amazed that we got a high-profile adaptation of any Umberto Eco book. (Even though he apparently wasn’t a big fan of it himself). Now do Foucault’s Pendulum.

Weird to see the Doors on that list. Was a big fan of those Billy Idol, Big Country and Police videos.

All great, but Richard Sala! One of my all-time favorites.

Never expected to see the Aurora Borealis in South Carolina, but here we are.

I read once that there are four different helmet styles in college FB:

1. Plain (ND, Penn State)
2. Number/letter (Alabama, Tennessee)
3. Logo (Clemson, FSU)
4. Michigan

(Not entirely accurate, I know).

No spoilers, but our purple-eared Bedlington loved Sisu.

I don’t recall the first one, but the other three definitely were.

I can’t speak for anyone else of course, but I received an email from Spoutible very shortly after the breach informing me about it.

Wouldn’t be the first time Batman got a plane to check out a private island (from The Brave and the Bold 127).
