Just listened to a podcast called Pugs and Company on Facebook or youtube. For a good explanation go to minute 54. It was perfectly said. First Pugs, is an independent, but loves trump in this instance. Goes on to say Trump is a business man and not a life-long politician. He is just ginn'in up the room to let Canada and Mexico, they are certainly going to have a talk. This compared to a career politician who just wants to go with the flow and not make any waves. With trump being a master negotiator, he realizes this tariff is out of range, but he is starting high, just to get their attention, and fast.
Check it out. Yesterdays clip of pugs and company on facebook and youtube., if you have free time.

Jeez, I would hope so.

All kidding aside, I would assume the different dialects could be confusing though. I have a friend from near Stuttgart, he could barely converse with my other friend's grandparents, who were from Ostfriesland.

I don’t understand East Germans at all, their accent is incomprehensible to me. Pretty amazing the variance in such a small country.

Finally, Costa Rican food is not good, imo. I am not picky and like authentic food in Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama and Peru. Costa Rica is the exception.

It’s crazy, isn’t it?

I went there (Arenal area) for a week this past June. I absolutely loved the country and had a great time.

I also found the food to be pretty blah. Very bland and often overcooked. Their version of rice and beans is so below average compared to other Latin American and/or Caribbean nations……..some of them literally bordering CR. How does this happen?

I mostly ate fruit for breakfast and lunch. Coffee was great!

Evaluating a conference, like the B1G, on football alone is misinformed. There are bigger considerations in research and academics that are absent in purely a football fan’s discussion. Obviously, there are other considerations, as well.

It’s the entire package that historically matters in the B1G. One only needs to look at the geographic gap, and lack of prospects, west of Lincoln and east of the west coast teams to understand why it’s not that easy.

Thinking about picking my youngest up at the airport today. Played the wrong tee shot - worked out.

Spoiler: Biggest flaw in Wordle game

I have to say, Wordle would be better if it eliminated words with common 4 letter endings. There’s no skill involved at that point, just luck. Completely takes the fun out of it.

That’s why I don’t like hard mode. When you encounter one of those words it does take skill to find the right word that will burn as many options as possible. To me that is akin to laying up in golf…sacrifice a shot to reduce the chance of catastrophe.

Then again I’m 12 shots back through 16 holes so no one should copy what I’m doing!

Fantastic to see DeSanto giving Greco a whirl. Black and DeSanto can learn a lot from one another.

If you paid that garbage even an ounce of attention you are a complete sucker and sheep. Embarrassing.

And just to be clear, I didn’t listen to a word of what Nickal said…. I’m referring to the 60 year old man “boxing” a social media influencer. Disgusting that this sort of thing works at all in today’s society.

Unfortunately, common sense is uncommon these days.

I won’t do ranch dressing as a condiment out of principle. It’s fat life to me. But give me a killer mayo/aoli with frites done right, oh Jesus.

So mayo diluted with milk on a salad is the fat life, but dipping French fries in mayo isn’t.

I’m amazed at this thread frankly. I did learn about what surprises people.

I’ve never once eaten at a McD’s in a foreign country. So much good food, why would you choose an American fast food restaurant?

Part of the travel experience is eating the local food. A wurst in Germany or Austria, croque monsieur in a French bistro….

And it’s cheap. When you try and eat American, it might even be more expensive.

I learned that over 1/2 the time, Italians have maids cook their meals. What a time to be alive for the Italian 51 percenters. Sorry 49 percenters.

Deal outscores the other team in game 1.

Looks like Moana could’ve used some help from The Rock #badjoke

Not sure what a game like this does to improve the team. Switched it off after about 10 minutes and read a book. SC Upstate was not a good defensive team and shot poorly. How do you get better playing patsies?

Why stop what you do best? Running the ball etc as it’s been stated and try to bring in an air raid offense you’re just not built for? That takes years of recruiting on the key players to fit your system… it won’t happen over night but it surely won’t happen in a few years … even with the portal

Ja wohl.
