That etymology is pretty cool. And chiosco is my new (or reminded) Italian word for the day.

That does seem to be what they’re saying they think they’re saying. Straight and forward.

A vaccine’s efficacy is not the same thing as the success rate of a drug going through trials.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Amazon talked about as a book store.

I might trust Mozilla and I already have an account…

Either one hundred foot one or a hundred one foot ones.

This seems to be Portugal. The license plates have either an F or a P and that doesn’t look like a French plate.

I’d probably not even notice. But I live in Italy and I’ve seen some shit.

I’ve got a hot little Le Crouset simmering in the kitchen 🤤

Is it this iron cross that’s an exclusively Nazi symbol? Right up there with this one?

And you’re simply wrong that everyone knows the difference between this skull and crossbones and that one. Obviously the one on the SS cap is a bad one but no, people don’t generally keep track of the design details of skull insignia. What I’ll agree is that any skull tattoo should really make you wonder if perhaps we’re the baddies, but whatever. I find that St Pauli logo to be weird too.

And sure. Keep an eye on this guy. No disagreement. You’re just making some really strong claims about symbols and other people’s awareness.

Poking light fun at everyone, really. Including the Italian above and myself for living here and having taken on some of that.

And yes, I grew up eating spaghetti with minced beef and ketchup.

Since I went browsing around, here are some images for comparison:

• Platner’s tattoo
• Nazi totenkopf
• Not Nazi

Yes, it’s a specific design and you should be careful with skulls but I’m not sure we should demand that everyone recognize the difference. I wouldn’t have until now if I’d seen them as line drawings. In embossed silver, sure…

We hate your freedom to put ketchup on pasta.

emit gazillion actions

Where emitting “actions” is German(?) for issuing stocks.

Or is it where decades of mostly ignoring anything but presidential elections has gotten us? Where mot participating in most of the process has gotten us and then we want there to be just the choice we want, waiting for us at the end?

You are very quick to put words and thoughts and deeds in people’s mouths and minds and hands.

Grow up and do the best thing that the situation allows. To see what the alternative is… [gestures vaguely at the world]

Run against them.

(In theory. I wouldn’t do that either.)

28 mph is 45 kph and about twice the speed at which assist is required to cut out in Europe.

This thing needs weight limits and its speed halved. There should also be a momentum limit on speed times weight so a heavier vehicle has to go slower.

What is this Artificial Inflation? I’ve seen no such thing.
