Not so sure at all...
We'll see but... fuck.
On a brighter note, we attended a standup comedy of Daniel Sloss (scottish comedian who has 2 shows on netflix) yesterday afternoon.
Was good fun !
I just watched the movie OPEN WATER again, even though it's quite depressing, and out of curiosity visited a website to see what charges may have been brought up against the charter company that inadvertently abandoned Tom and Eileen Lonergan, whose bodies were never found. I have two different ad blockers, and during the short time it took me to read the article, one of them blocked 126 ads, and the other one halted 134 ads. Just an observation with no personal comment.
BTW - the charter company went out of business, it took them 2 days to realize the couple was missing.
I will never go scuba diving.
I doubt that your adblockers blocked 134 ads.
There were probably a few ads and numerous tracking / cookie syncs
Coincidentally, last night John Oliver did a segment about Data Brokers => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqn3gR1WTcA
I'm sorry for your loss, John :(Quote:

You have to do this. It was JUST like the movies... the games were FUCKIN UNREAL. We lost by 1 min. WE were so close. Solved them all but the last one. AND then the music played, and the pig appears and closes the door JSUT LIKE THE FIRST movie as we are in that room where buddy chops his foot off. It was so well done. Exactly like the movie. The music starts playing just like the end too. I get goosebumps thinking about it now. It was that good..... 10/10. It won best in the world a few years now in a row. But there are tons coming to top that. The one I did in Orlando? WE were in a warehouse to look like a forest. It FELT like we were in the outdoors. Looking for gold. WELL DONE. That was the second best. We were riding Indiana Jones style Temple of doom into a gold mine. IT was so fun. LOVE IT.Quote:

Something has been eating at me recently (I've had to make a fair amount of customer service phone calls. What's annoying is you invariably have to navigatr past the "Spanish speaking" options and disclaimer in Spanish.
I have to admit that I am at aloss as to why every other immigrant to the U.S. has to learb English except for the Latin cultures where we go the distance to provide "Spanish speaking" alternatives in our signs and services. I have nothing against, Latin American immigrants in general. I think that as a culture they contribute substantially to the general U.S. population. I've always founf those that I have encountered to be hard workers with good traditional values for the most part in my experience of course.
So, why is it that they are afforded this second level of communication and signage while nothing is done for any of the other multitude of immigrants? (Like, Muslim or Slovic populations doe instance) My grandparents immigrated from, Germany. Not only did they make learning, English a priority they enjoyed no alternative second form of communication. I just don't understand why the Spanish speaking folks are so special as compared to all other immigrants to the U.S. They still represent a minority" in the states, no? So what is the big difference? One thing that led to my posting is that in an interview a "Spanish" politician was amazed that the interviewer came from, L.A. and didn't speak Spanish!! Apparently, according to some Latin Americans, all Americans should also speak Spanish now a days. What's up with that? English, is still the official U.S. language, no? And it has been since the country was formed in 1776 and every other culrure that immigrated to the states had to learn English and were not afforded the same accommodations the Spanish speaking fiks are abd that they now seem to feel that speaking only English in the U.S. is a failure on our part as English speaking citizens.
Is there some kind of valid reason for this practice?
Well, America has no official language and American English and Spanish are by far the two most commonly spoken languages in America. That might have something to do with it?
