Lol. I'm not surprised that a French catering company underestimated how much meat the athletes would eat. And that the serving sizes may be smaller than what a lot of people might be used to.
Also what's not been mentioned about the no AC is the buildings have the latest in passive cooling...

It's interesting, because guys like Vance think that people with no kids have "no skin in the game' because they *literally can't imagine caring about anything other than themselves and their family.* Of course I have skin in the game. I live in a fucking society. I'm a human being. That's enough!

the left actually got 61% today in my quarter, so there's hope...

The frenchiest thing I've done since living here is get invited to a family's annual grape picking and pressing day. I didn't get to do the foot stomping, they had a 100 year old barrel giant wood pestle, which was still fun.
And yeah, I learned there are going to be a lot of spiders

oh related to this: in Australia, more people work in theatre than in mining (always touted as the industry bringing in the 'jobs' and so must be protected) and also a greater variety of trades, because of the carpenters, electricians etc

my partner and I love this show so much. It takes us an hour to watch each episode because we have to pause it so we can laugh without missing what happens next!

could you turn that remaining earring into a necklace?

oh yes when we were so mad at Poseidon that we attacked the sea...

they look so unenthusiastic to be singing in a video. Things were really blah in the early 2000s....

Likewise. Also, I have a Carson McCullers tattoo, and I think she would have probably hated that about me, and probably me too...

I organised my sewing room...

Welp theres my next night terror!

The very worst!

my mum played Hodel when I was three years old, so my earliest memory of music was her singing that song at home.
And then she sung it at my wedding!

So my music theory education is about 20 years old now, but I did play in the orchestra for Fiddler, Twice! And it is really interesting music, perhaps the 'mathematics' underpinning the music in Fiddler is also akin to a lot of traditional Japanese? The time signatures, keys and melodic flourishes

oh yeah I got caught out by those when I was at university! Thinking I'd managed to find some obscure book on my subject.
And since it was such a niche subject, I'd actually edited said wikipedia page, so I basically paid for my own work to be printed and sent to me...

my grandmother whittled away all her money by changing the executor of her will to which ever of her children was her current favourite, like a real life Bleak House, and the sapphires she had everybody fighting over also turned out to be glass.

It's not just crochet sadly, I follow a few crafty things on facebook and it's a lot of fibre crafts. Like, why bother. Sure the image looks kinda cool, for a few seconds... but that's it.

I love how that website writes so positively about choosing that name.
