    In Greek, the word for summer is kalokairi. It literally means “good weather.”

    Snow can suck a fuck. Totally overrated. Why go somewhere that you need to add layers of polyester just to survive? 1 layer of linen and I’m set.

    Edit: Every downvote from you churns a server in a data center that makes the earth heat up. Bring it on. Let the leopards eat your faces!


  • OK, slow down there, pardner.

    First off, advertising data is already used to do this. The WH app probably doesn’t really provide anything new that the CCP can’t already buy, the same way the USG buys ad data to track both Americans and non-Americans alike in violation of spirit of the 4th Amendment. The app might be vulnerable to targeted attacks and zero days, as everything made by this administration is twice as expensive and a quarter as good as what’s available to the general public because corruption is the only metric for success with them.

    Second, if it’s a classified device, then (using the DOD as a proxy) the WH app isn’t secure enough to be allowed as installed because it wouldn’t pass NSA vetting because it is an attack surface for targeted hacks. Meaning that nothing beyond emails that are FOIAable anyway are on the devices.

    Third, real life isn’t movies. Calm down, Liam Neeson.





  • Can’t speak to McDonald’s, but I can for KFC.

    KFC outside the US is great. Genuinely good and typically not the cheapest food, but not pricey. In some places it’s just original recipe (which is fairly crispy) and spicy.

    In the US it’s fully disgusting. Top to bottom, everything is gross, and it’s not cheap enough to be so gross. I would rather skip a meal than eat KFC in the US. But KFC anywhere in Africa is on par with the excitement of a Nando’s - guaranteed good food ahead.

    Last time I had McDonald’s at all was 2007 in Morocco and it made me feel gross, so I haven’t touched it since.
