Yes, but I believe you about the fart.

Agreed.

And the causes are probably broadly similar; lack of education about how to cook, lack of time to cook, lack of education on healthy food, too much food advertising, ultra-processed foods are too common, healthy foods are expensive…

No, but your weird obsession with ridiculously unhealthy food is somewhat interesting.

So the answer is to not visit the US then.

If you liked The Expanse, check out For All Mankind.

It feels almost like a prequel, set a couple of hundred years before the events in the series.

Hell, the villains have more character development than protagonists in other shows.

Also Uncle Iroh, it possibly the greatest male role model in TV.

What is the flavor “it looks like orange, but is actually just a tub of shit”

You are correct, the US needs to increase speed limits to even things out again.

I have 3 hungry boys to feed, I’m not sure I could carry all of our groceries in one trip. , 😁

Most NZ supermarkets just stack the boxes at the front after the checkout.

Are also keep a few in the back of the car.

Or boxes; we use boxes. Carrying 3 - 4 boxes up stairs is much easier than 10 bags.

We did it a while back, you will adapt pretty quickly.

Gather round children; as I tell you the story of Georgie Pie, it offered cheap local (to NZ) fast food, in this case meat and sweet pies.

Highly successful and well loved, it was a common sight across the country. Unfortunately, the corporate entities from off shore came in, diluting the fast food dollar across many more options. MacDonald’s brought the struggling Georgie Pie; mainly for its locations and to remove a competitor from the market.

Every few years; to maintain the trade mark, MacDonald’s runs a Georgie Pie promotion where you can get a pie from MacDonald’s. It is like the zombie of local “cuisine” reanimated over and over again to server its master; for the only job it is good for.

When playing games with the kids, we start at 0 being the position you are currently in, then count from there.

e.g. in snakes and ladders, if you are on spot 30 and roll a 5, tap spot 30 and say “zero”, then spot 31 is “one” etc… till you are at spot 35 saying “five”.

Teaches the kids about zero and avoids miss counts from the younger ones counting their current position as “one”

This is the way.

Getting my 5yo to accept that he can peddle and balance by himself; takes longer than the ability. He used to crash once he realized I had stopped balancing him, sometimes it would take a minute or more.

So is walking

I mean wouldn’t it be crazy, to get something like people are eating cats and dogs publicly said.

It is getting a little obnoxious. But still mostly on the good side.

To be fair, Diogenes was a cunt of the highest order. Love his work; but not a good role model.
