Nothing quite like creating a globally homogenized mediocre beverage experience to help you return to that "coffee shop vibe". This coming from a guy who oversaw record numbers of food poisoning cases at Chipotle.

Great! What the United States needs is an entitled nepo baby "entreprenuer" in a cabinet-level position advising a petulant sociopathic nepo baby "president".

Have you never been to an izakaya?

The only rule I've been told is that you must wait until noon to say "konnichiwa".

Obviously have been dipping into their savings accounts too long.

Shouldn't the term used here be "reverting"?

Well IAEA has punted like we always knew they would.

That's a lot of garbage. And then there's the wrappers and boxes too.

Five vaccination shots. Never tested positive. Never had symptoms. Always socially distanced. Always masked when appropriate. Willing to pay 75% higher airfare so I can spend money there. Don't make this needlessly difficult.

He has rockets, but he's not a rocket scientist

Pretty sure the Russians invented paranoia.

only 8 or 10 types on the shelf already at the konbini

Trump wasn't very skilled at this.

Deeply disappointed to see him so tolerant and appeasing with Trump.

Watching it was tortuous. Don't keep trying this stupidity.

Regardless of trigger pull, Mr. Baldwin failed to observe basic firearms safety by not directly verifying that the gun was loaded or unloaded as soon as he took possession of it. And yes, a round can be discharged without pulling the trigger, whether by overheating as a previous poster noted, or by the hammer being jarred or bumped when it is sitting atop a live round. See y'all in court.

good luck getting that out of the package while keeping the cream filling intact

Why a Snickers? You can get one pretty much anywhere on the planet.

How much does it cost?

A lot!

let us hope the strawberry farmer will be stepping down soon

Perfectly appropriate for journalists to press interviewees about the credibility of sources and facts, and also to expose liars.

SkyNet for real.

So what is the cost of the average case of COVID-19? Medical treatment + lost productivity + funerals etc? When there's a metric to apply to these costs, then ask if pay-to-vaccinate is a good business decision.

Follow the money.

Make them pay.

I was privileged to observe first-hand the bribery and corruption scandals of the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City. Rest assured, the IOC does not give a damn about the local hosts or any less-than-stellar outcomes for the games. They operate above the law.

Talk about not setting your sights very high

very cool gigantic interferometer

Whether I am in Japan or home in the US, I avoid chain-brand coffee shops. They will never have the charm of local coffeehouses.

If this act went on for two hours, pretty sure the autopsy will reveal he was already unconscious when it began, by whatever means was convenient.
