I decided not to do it. I think once a year is enough now and I didn't have the requisite enthusiasm.

:smile:

The monk statue is permanent as far as I remember but the temple is fairly small and inconspicuous, so I'm not surprised it didn't show up on Google. ...

Good thanks, Shawn. Travelling at the moment. Mostly avoiding the internet.

Hats off anyhow for getting it right.

I actually have Laotian Kip back in my apartment, so if you PM me your address, it's yours. :up:

Yes!

Warmer. This is where I am now and where I went from where I took the picture. A city not far from here.

Not too far off. Had planned on going there but changed my mind (while I was in the city I took the picture in actually).

Oddly specific, but no. Correct country though. Fair try. Hint: A city in Thailand. It's almost like you don't even want the money.

10K Picture Competition. You get 10K* if you can figure out where I took this picture. *In Turkish Lire Laotian Kip.

It's not clear to me what happened. You're complaining you have been falsely accused of being @"keystone"?

If the same percentage-wise results occurred in Ireland which has a more proportional system, the largest party would be facing a forced coalition now...

I got bored with Steve and killed him* to be honest. Being fellow Americans was not as much as fun as we thought. *Don't do that.

Nope.

:cool: :up:

So, Murdoch wins another UK election. He hasn't lost one since he came to power in 1979, actually.

An honour. :smile:

Is that not Le Philly Boeuf Steak Sandwich? Whereas in the US, on pretty much every street corner there's this guy: /uploads/resized/files/e9/j8u0bm77...

I've now tried Gboard and I didn't get gonorrhea once. Hm, that sounds like an ad. An American ad. America. Durn.

I shall celebrate tomorrow by taking a bath in Coca Cola, wearing a large cheeseburger as a hat, and developing an opioid addiction. I'm not sure if t...

The narrative that Trump will be granted evil superpowers if he wins is out there now and not going to be vanquished by facts.

I'm not trying to look inside your heart here. I'm just saying, if you know how not to sound sinister and threatening, please take that route. If not,...

Any Republican celebrating this is going to look comically misguided if the upcoming and inevitable Dem fear strategy works and their people turn out ...

It's the conservative right who fear Reform. The better Reform do, the better for Labour*, because it's largely conservative votes they're taking. Tha...

Anyhow, the ruling is a gift to the Dems. The focus moves from Biden's ineptitude to Trump's potential tyranny. Might even save them. You can be sure ...

It should be understood that you don't get to be President by having any moral standards at all. So, Trump declaring openly he doesn't is, yes, meanin...

Good. You won't mind being banned if we deem you go too far then.

It's been reported. But as you pointed out, it's difficult to know what to make of that.

This thread is intended for people to talk about their intense annoyances. If that makes you murderously upset, please go elsewhere.

In the enlightened future, this type of auditory abuse may be considered like smoking and banned.

Officially grindcore, but pretty close. Same here. Came across "Full of Hell" quite recently. Solid stuff. :death:

Yes, for me ambient music, particularly pop, disrupts my intuitive feeling for a place, replacing it with a candied consumerised cadence that I find r...

I did laugh. I feel like it's the artist, not philosopher, in me whose stomach turns at such auditory assaults. But that may be conceit.

Vicious and awful. Though sadly unsurprising.

I may be pretty extreme though. E.g. If I could get a free meal at the most expensive restaurant in the world, I definitely wouldn't take it if I had ...

A most egregious abuse of grammar. Requests cannot ''literally'' flood ...unless they are somehow presented in liquid form. :chin:

Who is the real president... ?!? The Earth is under attack! :scream: ... Jill has gone for a weekend at Bernie's!! :fire: :rage: :death:
