The movie took place in Germany except for the castle and village scenes.

British accents still don't make sense, though.

I thought this was just a copy paste of the last time someone did this.

Much fewer than at their peak and continuing to decline in most cases.

As soon as they start charging for it, folks will stop using it as much.

It's just the same tech cycle as ever: give it out for free or very cheaply until you think people are dependent on it, then jack up the price.

Think Uber, Instacart, Netflix, things of this nature.

What would be nice is if entire nations weren't staking their futures on it.

Oi, you got a loisence for that wheelie bin?

Gay marriage is legal in my country. I don't know what the point you're making is.

I think it's worth pointing out that the same critiques that American LGBT advocates levied at civil unions in the states (which were common pre-Obergfell) are applicable to China. Namely that it's still a pointless othering and that the goal should be full equality.

I love to say the word "plover".

I respect sincerely-held religious beliefs, but find it hard to accept anyone with such an obvious thirst for power and blood has any of those.

My buddy is a Providence nurse, but is not striking. He told me he talked it over with his union rep. It's literally his first full-time nursing gig after training, and he has no savings, just moved across the country, and has shitloads of student loans. I mentioned that his union should have a strike fund for this sort of situation, but I assume he would know better than me.

Anyway it has been an eye-opener for me, as someone who has never been a part of a union and who does not have student loans, to see the way that American life is structured in such a way as to sap the power of organized labor. My mantra has always been "don't be a scab", but I guess sometimes it can be more complicated than that. And he's not technically scabbing, since he's just working his normal job and hasn't been brought on temporarily to cover.

Much to consider.

It's a Trump tweet.
