Bake the potato. Add sour cream, chives, and a dash of seeded mustard to the final mix. Bacon bits are optional.

This is how I learned to like a particular subset of potato salad.

Don't tender the life extender?

It was done in Australia quite a few years back and widely mocked. There was a bit of a bump in "XBox babies", but it was mostly from the kind of people who don't understand that a one-off cash bonus spent on a bigger TV doesn't cover the costs of raising a kid.

That is Trump's demographic, but he's being very optimistic if he thinks these kids will be going to the polls while he's still alive.

I've been seeing a lot of reports lately of white people getting screwed over like this. They all had one thing in common: women traveling without male company.

The main limitation I always had with Strava was limited activities. I know there are off road onewheelers who log their routes as ice skating, for example.

It would also be nice to save points of interest that aren't linear routes. E.g. nice vantage points, businesses that accommodate group rides, public water/toilets/power.

Forget the turducken. This year we're having brachiotyranotriceradilophovelociturducken.

You should hear the sound they make. Thumping bass that you feel as much as you hear it.

Soju and fried chicken is also an excellent option.

Interesting, I seem to know "thank you" in a few languages, but not "please". I wonder what that indicates...

Spanish: por favor, gracias

French: sil vous plait, merci

Indonesian: ?, terima kasih

Mandarin: ?, xie xie

Japanese: ?, arigato

German: ?, danke

Italian: ?, grazie

Aussie: oi, cheers/ta (/s)

The £ is a bit of a giveaway.

That's a good one.

We used to screenshot desktops, set it as the wallpaper, and move all the desktop icons to a temporary folder.

I've heard swapping the N and M keys is a good one because it doesn't register as unusual on a visual scan but messes up touch typists.
