Can't seem to get this video to embed (it's Vimeo), but it is a very interesting look at the macroeconomic and cultural changes we can expect to face post-Covid. It's about 30 min: https://vimeo.com/427912671

Share a pic of a really cool food you'd recommend. If you feel like it, share some background on what it is, where it is from, etc.



Here's dahi puri. I won't pretend to be an expert on it, but it is a South Asian dish my wife and I tried out here. It is sort of a crunchy shell filled with diced onion, chick peas, mint, spices and yogurt (and some other stuff, perhaps a little magic too). You can get them made fresh in the supermarket here, but they're a bit off bounds at the moment (coronavirus ruins everything ). Fresh and spicy at the same time ~ amazing!

Though the last bike ride I was on I came across a drunk fellow on his bike shouting "YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE!", I had no choice but to stop and talk to him since It was along a canal and he was all over the place. He asked if I had a light which for some reason is always the question whenever I'm stopped by a drunk person. I don't smoke which disappointed the man, he then offered me a beer though not the unopened one in his shopping bag, the one he had been drinking while cycling one handed.
He seemed to be unaware of social distancing, and sprayed on my face when he slurred his speech, hopefully he's not infected!! Luckily a couple of people distracted him so I did a 180 and got out of there fast!

Ugh, jesus, hope it's nothing. A few days ago as I was crossing the street, a 50-ish-year old guy crossing from the opposite sidewalk leaned towards me and grunted "masks off!" as he walked past. He wasn't drunk or anything, just your average braindead Berliner. Luckily he didn't engage further, but the abruptness and aggressiveness of the whole thing left me shaken for a while...

Seriously, what prompts people to act like such prickholes? For all he knows, you could be a recent Covid recovery story. Very sorry to hear you went through this.

Yesterday was the first day where no masks are required in shops (except for pharmacies). I went to a shopping center because I had to make a complaint and it was packed (considering it was Monday noon!). Out of all the customers maybe 10 or so were still wearing a mask. Also most shop assistants were not wearing masks anymore.

Must be nice that things are thawing there for you guys. Do you feel confident the timing is right where you are for people to loosen their precautions in public spaces?

shouldn't it say "another there is"?

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Do you know if the playability is the same? I ask because I bought Sam n Max and found that the Steam version changes the point-n-click function, i.e. you have to double click the interaction icons to make them work; there were other little irritants, too. Thanks again!

Those look great ~ what about filming one getting printed and then publishing a 10x speed run of it to YouTube? Probably something satisfying to watch and could spark some buyer interest.

Oof I officially fail at the internet.

OK sorry didn't mean to derail the thread there...

So this creepy meme is trending on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/h8a0po/spare_a_hug_please/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb

Laura Hunt, is your avatar a clip from a meme? Or has this meme style been made from your avatar? I figured Jack’s earlier posts in this thread were using your avatar in the meme but maybe this isn’t the case?

Hehe flashback to that scene from Funny Farm:

... it is used with food.

Bull castrator.

OK now I have questions.

(Nope, not a bull castrator!)

"Regret this tattoo? Never!"

Randy is a woman.

Nope

Nope, but right category - it is used with food.
