Updates on the vampire neighbors if anyone is interested. We left them candy at Christmas, they repaid us with fresh bread and a note.
they DID buy it for their kids for college housing. But then they found another house that they liked better and bought that, so now they have this house. They claim the rent it as a sort of B&B but the occupancy is about 5% so they are losing money. I guess they have enough money not to care about it.
You mean, like an AirBnB?
I guess, I havenāt looked to see if itās listed on any platforms, Iām not sure I care that much. There were people there last weekend, and then a cleaning crew came on Monday, so it checks out. Also explains why there is never trash on the curb, the cleaning crew takes it with them.
Has anybody ever tried on board wifi via starlink?
Onboard wifi is usually crap so I tend to avoid it, but gave it a go on our flight Rio to Lima (LATAM) because of starlink and its way better than I expected.
Bought some wifi coverage for the little one to watch full streaming (Disney/Spotify) and it works quite well.
Wasnāt terribly expensive either ($12/flight which was about 6hrs use for us).
Iām at my barber. I think he might be Turkish. He just brought me a drink, sorta like coffee but not exactly. What am I drinking?
ā¦Turkish coffee?
Is it sweet?
Not sweet
Doesnāt sound like Turkish coffee then.
You just made that up!
Reminds me of the movie Snatch
Turkish: You take sugar?
Brick Top: No thank you, Turkish; Iām sweet enough.
amazing movie
Just like your barber!!
Any celiacs or those celiac-adjacent here have experience with or opinions on the Nima sensor? Iām debating getting one for my son. Weighing the pros and cons (especially the cost), Iām not sure of the practicality. However, itās celiac awareness month, so theyāre currently on sale. If youād rather PM me, thatās fine, too. Thanks!
I have no experience with the Nima sensor but have a son and SIL who are celiac so please let me know the results of your research. Thanks. Alan.
Thereās drawbacks on the kinds of things it can test, and obviously it only tests what goes in the sensor (might miss a cross contact area in the food), but the ongoing cost is significant. Dropping $200 on the sensor is one thing, but each cartridge, which are single-use only, are $12 each. I can see the value of using one when traveling and strongly react to being glutened. The device itself seems to be pretty reliable for the sample tested, though.
I donāt have anything to contribute but I need you to know that I love this phrase.
I was not a fan of that phrase, but itās whatās widely used, so too bad for me!
I imagine a world in which there is a random āglutenizerā terrorizing the city, walking along the street and throwing bagels into peopleās unsuspecting maw, disappearing down the alley only to show up at a sporting event to blast the crowd with a t-shirt cannon repurposed to distribute croutons as if it were a fire hose.
Pretty sure that was the plot of an episode of Power Puff Girls.
