What is the highest number of upvotes you've personally observed ths daily chat thread having (while still having zero comments)?

Early this morning I saw 7 upvotes and zero comments.

I think the organisers already l got the business connections etc.

They will be back as something totally different. Definitely not anything that might tie them back to this scandal, but they wouldn't just die off like that..

The organisational talent and events market and people's spending power can probably support replacement or alternative events.

Hopefully...

Oh yeah American Gods was pretty good too. I loved the little side storied about other gods. There was one who was a prostitute that ate a man, a jin that body swapped with a struggling businessman, and also something about an ancient god from the prehistoric age.

Stardust is a fun movie.

The first time i watched was in the cinema. I was so smitten by the pretty star lol. The next time i watched w was with my gf. It was torrented and we watched on a computer... we didn't finish watching lol

Late at night when this thread was still freshly forged, i saw that it had zero comments and 5 upvotes.

That means 4 lurkers skulked by in the deep of the night, upvoted it, and went away.

It was quite difficult before the smartphone era, i did it for about 2 years. From the start when we decided to be bf/gf it was already going to be LDR due to moving for new job.

Luck was on our side. A lot of our work travel and holidays matched up and we managed to see each other every 3 to 4 months at the longest. Sometimes every 2 weeks when we were based close enough.

I married her.

Will i do it again? Yeah!

The best parts are always meeting up after however many months.

Do you learn to read and write too? Or is focused on conversation?

I have not read it, but i shall!

Gaiman's novel "Neverwhere" is also super super good. A very average man enters a different world, faces challenges, seduction and love. The writing was superb, a perfect balance of humour and plot and action. One of the 'classes' of people in Neverwhere is the Velvet. The protagonist referred to her as a velcro. That was unexpectedly funny.

And what a bittersweet ending. I'm a sucker for this kind of endings. Stephen King also does these kinds of 'breakup' endings sometimes.

Side note, the movie Stardust was also really good. Also an "a very average man enters a different world, faces challenges, seduction and love." kind of story, but it's the details that make a movie/story.

On leave today to settle a few things at home.

So nice to lie down on the cool living room floor with ceiling fan on, in the quiet of a weekday.

Fell asleep for about 15 minutes until the contactor rang my doorbell.

mods of r/place has a super brush tool that constantly erases it.

That's no fun. It's playing an unfair game.

Try just drinking water and eating breakfast. I find that sometimes coffee wakes me up not because of the caffeine but filling the stomach with something.

If I eat fruits, or bread, i can work fine with just water or milo.

Hahah just what we need for a cold Monday morning!

Maybe i can start by editing and reposting my post-vasectomy post from reddit. it's juicy and wet.

So far no deformation. They dont curl up at the edges like the cheapo coil mat that came with the car.

Easy to clean. The grooves and pits to collect dust are diamond shaped, so it doesn't actually trap dust. They just lets the particles drop inside. Easy to vacuum or flip out.

They are made to fit your car (assuming your car is on their list) so the fitment is very good.

Totally no regret buying them, I held off the purchase for so many years and suffered to peeling coil mat. Should have bought at least 2 years earlier.
