Ambergris is from whales

No, originally the first three digits designated where you lived when you requested your SSN. The middle two were also not sequential. The final four digits were the only purely sequential ones.

Thanks for the confirmation, robobruddah

AFAIK ex-presidents aren’t allowed to leave the country without specific permission, due to all the classified crap in their heads. If one tried to flee the country, it would be their detail’s duty to detain them.

Heck, they’re not even allowed to drive in public roads… not that Trump has probably ever driven a car.

I’ve never tried one, but now it seems I have to.

Cinnamon apple jelly should be more common too! (Not apple butter… fuck Apple butter).

Apple cinnamon all the things!

I am retired and you’re describing me, other than the fact that you’d have to pay me to watch soccer. I watch bicycle racing instead. It’s a damn nice life.

You can’t fool me… that’s clearly not a 16th century CE cat.

I asked people to take handover for a full month before I left and nobody cared. On my last day they kept asking if they could call me with questions. I said only if they had their credit cards ready because I wasn’t going to work for free.

I watched the first moon landing on a black & white TV while wearing footie pajamas.

I’m enjoying it a lot so far. I haven’t missed working at all.

I retired about a year ago, so the left-most book on the middle row is about me.

I haven’t had it but my mom did. She experienced or remembered none of the actual cpr but the recovery from bruising and broken ribs was so painful that she signed a do not resuscitate order saying she would rather die than have cpr again.

When it comes to refried beans, “too many” or “too much” are both incorrect. The correct construction is “may I have some more please?”

Cbat?

According to an article I read yesterday, Florida defers to the state where the felony conviction occurred. Since it’s New York, he is allowed to vote unless he’s incarcerated.

BTW, he’s already convicted, so he’s already a felon. Sentencing is just the next step. If he wasn’t a rich white dude he’d probably be sitting in jail while awaiting sentencing.

Usually just a small amount of food is enough, but your pharmacist should talk to you the first time you fill the prescription and tell you if more is necessary

My understanding is that it’s a holdover from after WW2, when American troops were still there a lot. Americans in general, and American soldiers in particular tend to be pretty loud and effusive in large groups, which can get on anybody’s nerves. So they annoyed the locals, the locals got rude, and a cultural trope was born.

In the USA, the French have a reputation for rudeness. I didn’t really expect that to be universally true, but I was surprised by how actively friendly many people were. I spent time in Paris, Nice, Avignon, Pau, and brief stops in a few other places. The only rude person was the guy selling food on the TGV.

I’m not sure what you mean by knowing how to move in a major city. While in Paris, I walked or rode the metro. In Provence and thereabouts, it was train or bicycle.
