@Alfred please tell us about the book Waiting for Snow in Havana. Please provide summary and context for its creation.

Various royalty have competed as Olympians, mostly in equestrian and sailing events - which are among the few that require serious money to be competitive. There are several Gold and Silver medal royal winners in both disciplines.

Hah!

@tyghebright Yep. No problems. Steam is pretty good about that.

@Hyporeality @jcsimonds

Perfectly relevant, and presented for all our edification, one of the greatest stories of all time:

@singlemaltgirl @QueenOfEverything

Yeah, no. I do not need the details of Kamala's pap smear, Biden's colonoscopy, or Trump's Viagra prescription.

@ps9714
It was awesome, with enough (very French) surreality to satisfy anyone.

Truly impressive dancing, fashion, singing, and spectacle at nearly every step. The ride of the robot horse was overlong, and (of course) NBC kept breaking in to tell us how wonderful the US Olympians are and have been. Otherwise, I'd watch a replay - more than once.

@tyghebright

So, I went to Steam and bought it, but found it unplayable. I was completely lost - I learned how to shoot rocks, but that's about all.

Never figured out how to pick plants, walk, or anything else.

A walk through or guide might have helped, but the mouse was way, way too twitchy anyways.

Hard pass.

Dude needs a new source for weed - something with less paranoia.

Way less paranoia.

@Brisse

Fair enough. Give him a warning then.

@Brisse Rule 34.

Do they "sext" already - have nsfw chat capabilities? If so, it's kind of a valid suggestion.

If not, well, why not?

@Kittiekatt53 Silly. Great for maybe 30 seconds, but way to long.

Also, Hitler pictures? Really?

@peeppeepcircus @JazzCrafter

We're not, and it's pretty much too late.

December 12, 2000 the self-stylized "supreme" court appointed a climate denier as preznit, instead of the guy who literally wrote a book on global warming.

To quote Porky Pig: "Th, th, th, that's all Folks!"

@CJShaneArtBooks @corlin @QueenOfEverything

Not to mention the insanely polluting bunker fuel burned shipping that compressed sawdust across the Atlantic, and the train and truck diesel to take it to ports.

Shipping is a massive carbon source.

@Sr0bi @Tacitus_Kilgore

The fix: require any media with "News" in it's title to be factual (perhaps via independent fact-checkers), with substantial penalties for violations.

@Oma_Trisha

I drive an hour, 45 miles, to save over $1/ gallon on gas. It takes a gallon to get there, another one to get back. It's about a $10 savings per fill-up.

I always pair the trip with other errands in the area, so it's not just a two hour trip simply for fuel.

@JanetZumba_FalPals @DavidSalo

It's an interesting concept. How would one implement that? Checkpoints at borders?

Will women have to pee on a stick to cross a border on the interstate? What age ranges do you stop, or do you simply question them about menstruation?

Maybe use the marketing databases of product purchases to see if they buy feminine hygiene products and medical databases to cross-check for pregnancies.

It's insane on the face of it.
