I can get EU citizenship which makes me very lucky

You said "can get", implying you haven't done so yet. My advice? Get the EU citizenship. Simply getting EU citizenship doesn't commit you to actually moving overseas.

That said, things aren't that bad right now, but it'll take time to process the paperwork. By the time things get bad enough to force you, you may not have the time to wait for your application to be processed. Plus, depending on the number of refugees, they may change the rules on who qualifies.

Worst thing that happens is that you spend some time, effort and money and you get some peace of mind, which isn't a terrible thing at all.

The Guggenheim claims that this creation of manila paper was a way "of recycling manila rope, previously used on ships".

Okay, that's cool!

Do ... do people these days not use file folders?

A disease called trachoma has turned his eyelids inwards, causing his eyelashes to scar his corneas so badly that one has already turned opaque.

Okay, that makes more sense now.

You can blame bird flu for high egg prices at the grocery store.

Which is exactly why there were high prices a couple years ago and why they've been slow to come down. I want to start seeing little gleeful Trump stickers pointing at the egg prices, going "I did that!"

I was trying to solve a betweenle a couple weeks ago, had it down to the words immediately before and after the word-for-the-day, and couldn't think of it. I went to three different AI engines and asked them what word was between those two, alphabetically. All three engines repeatedly gave me "answers" that did not occur between the two words. Like, I'd ask "what 5-letter English words are alphabetically between amber and amble, and they'd suggest aisle or armor. None of them understood 'alphabetically'.

For right now? Ice cream. No, seriously. Ice cream will help cool down the injured area and improve healing.

If you want flavor, you should be able to take most foods and puree them in a food processor or blender.

For myself, one of the keys was to have a variety of flavors at a variety of temperatures - nothing too hot at first, though! Cold things like ice cream, cool things like V8 or cottage cheese or tuna salad, room temperature stuff like bananas and spoonfuls of peanut butter and jelly, warm stuff like scrambled eggs and refried beans. Have mashed potatoes, sure, but you can pour gravy over it!

They said it was because of "media leaks". Translation: we don't want anyone looking at how we conduct the raids or who gets hurt, we just want a really big perp walk afterward.

They directed ICE to target people who are accused of serious crimes, but they also told them to round up anyone they run across during those searches. It's not going to be very long before they're just indiscriminate raids.

It's interesting that his thought process is, "It's not cheating, everyone does it which means this is fine!"

I mean, the thought process he's admitting to here is interesting in light of Trump thanking Musk for "He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide."
