Ok, gents, lets get back to the subject at hand and cut the sniping.

Welcome to the forum @Gilfson! Hope you find it useful.

It does suck indeed, I've been there once or twice. Any resemblance to food is purely coincidental. Sometimes those places will have some sandwiches which are meh but better than having nothing but a packet of chips. Spray cheese can be made sort-of palatable, but that would need something like celery sticks to spray it into, and those sorts of places sure as hell won't have that!

Definitely a bottle of Yellow Tail, no half measures!

I often add essential toppings (like anchovies) to supermarket pizzas, frozen or fresh, and also a little extra cheese. To me, any pizza made with a bought base is 'semi-homemade'. Even making the base using self-raising flour for the dough rather than a yeast dough is sort of cheating. But I don't really care!

Adding my two bob's worth to AZ, PA and PK, I flew into EWR Terminal A and the bus between there and the monorail was fine, just add a little time.

As there is when certain other posters refer to hit pieces.

Some of those rules are advice or guidance, others are ex cathedra pronouncements.

His choice to be called Leo XIV has prompted that view of his intent, as it evokes Rerum Novarum, the noted encyclical of Leo XIII.

You're right about that, big diverse countries produce most of the food that they need, importing niche products or things they can't produce at a competitive price. Vanilla beans are one example, production is very labour intensive and even at a high price, countries like the US (and Australia) can't produce it at scale. Both of us could, in our tropical areas, but demand would be for high-end products that want the cachet of having domestically-produced vanilla. A tariff on the rest of the supply from Madagascar would have near zero effect on overall inflation. One US import that may surprise is Australian beef, which from what I understand is mainly grass-fed beef that is used in hamburger meat to complement the grain-fed US beef. The current 10% tariff is likely to have a negligible effect (assuming that it's still imported) as it's a small impost on the cost of getting a burger out of the door at McDonalds.

It's most likely nothing to do with 'Escort Ads' as such, it most likely refers to Genevieve (or Genoveva) of Brabant: Genevieve of Brabant - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG The story is also the basis of the Schumann opera Genoveva. What aspect of the legend, the underlying story or even the opera that the escort is alluding to is beyond me. I very much doubt this will ever come up in another escort ad, although some of our more learned gentlemen may be aware of, or be able to incorporate themes into play, so inadvertently the Lounge is probably the best place for this question rather than the Questions forum!!

Oh dear, I had buddy listed him but didn't act on it when I was in NYC. More fool me!

The 25% tariff will result in price increases from 0% to 25% depending on how much of each car is foreign, or USMCA non-compliant. Don't be surprised if retailers charge the full 25% regardless, and also increase the price of 100% US-sourced cars by the same amount just because they can.

The two threads are now combined so there is some duplication of comments that were made in both. The ad with the new name Threethousand has been deleted so there's no point in adding that name to the title.

Sounds like a Latin declension of 'twink'.

It seems it's 2 Feb again today.

There's existing discussion on this provider. It's old, so we're leaving it as a separate thread.

Margin of error, rounding errors ... EEEK, THE SKY IS FALLING.

Another random place I've been to comes up here!

The late Holy Father was born in Buenos Aires, his father was Italian by birth, but his mother, like him was Argentine. Not all diaspora Italians hold to their Italian identity the way that many in the US appear to do. Few in Australia would identify as Italian, most think of themselves as Australians first and foremost, while retaining some cultural practices. Some prefer to marry other Italian-Australians. I can't speak to Argentines of Italian descent think of themselves.

Further to this, if the owner is the person who serves you, you don't know whether they have a tip sharing arrangement for everyone doing public-facing work. With a sole trader, you know who sets the price and who would get any tip, in any business with both owners and others serving customers, you don't.

I should of course add, escorts are not alone in this ... and perhaps not the worst offenders ...
