I noticed that they had a presence in London. We didn’t stop to compare them to the US version, though. I had weirder things to try.

That’s kinda brutal, but I’m going to back you up on the thing with hamburgers in Canada. Maybe it’s just limited to Ontario, but when we moved there we were consistently shocked by the weirdness of the burgers. For the first year or so we shopped around trying to find a good burger and eventually just gave up. Our local pub served some that were OK.

And before anyone chimes in with the thing about all Ontario burgers being prepared well-done by law, it’s not that. I’m pretty sure our time there pre-dated that law. I think they may have been “spicing” them with onion powder, but who knows.

The burgers at Burgermeister in Berlin were quite decent. Those were the only ones we tried, though.

Thanks!

I went to a weird conference about 10 years ago and it was very much about data retrieval and long term storage of digital media. I’d say that the speaker was 80% dead on and 20% full of shit. One thing he was very clear about: he lost his own wedding photos due to his own overconfidence in digital storage technology and his wife is still deeply pissed about it.

I still have my wedding photos on CD rom somewhere, so I’m sure they’re safe. /s

In related news, my parents are downsizing and my mom just asked me if I wanted my great-grandparents’ wedding certificate. It’s in great condition.

I’ve been interested in reading the books, but I’m a little weirded out by the tag-team approach by two authors. Would you say that this is noticeable, or that they maintain a consistent quality no matter who is doing the writing?

I feel like she also has Trample.

They’re used by people with limited mobility - elderly, obese, bad back, bad knees. Walking is possible, it just hurts. A lot of the people I see using those have a cane or walker in the buggy.

As far as the cart return, it seems like the kids wrangling carts in the lot absolutely love retrieving those buggies. Wouldn’t you?

I suspect that if you just call them bison they won’t have any beef with you.

It seems like something they would have mentioned if they were. Unfortunately.

Of course it’s bees. It’s always bees with that crowd.
