Capybara.

Chill. Zero fucks given. Love water.

I do appreciate the warning, I usually look at the comments before clicking articles and man you’re spot on.

(gov provided) services should never be for profit

Am so better!

edit: tldr

I didn’t live in Spain when the had pesetas, but there is a hardware store 8 go to that still has the billing in euros & pesetas…

Kansas, a state, is not the equivalent of Africa, A continent as pointed out by OP.

OTOH, EU education varies w I d e l y and the American system is overall mediocre

Not gonna lie, moving from a 375$ energy bill to around 75€ is kinda nice. (average)

‘exceptionalism’

Another thing they learned from America.

good…so there’s already monopolies on an industry that will soon be legal in the EU. Just got to make sure the right monies goes into the right hands before opening up to the rest of the unwashed masses.

The libertarian party in the US is basically the GOP by another name (think fascist Spain as it related to Nazi Germany).

Here is the worst example

“But when someone is said to be shilling for something or someone there is a distinct note of disapproval, and often the implication that the act is somehow corrupt or dishonest, or that the product or person being promoted is not to be trusted.”

Because they’re right shills who hijacked a political philosophy

This is the way

I’m in Spain and it’s an absolute bloodbath I’m the UK, so many chef’s & pub owners I know are struggling. hopefully there will be relief before there is nothing left but big chains with mediocre beer and food.

COVID did some damage to the hospitality section here, a lot of local institutions were over their heads with loans and the it was compounded because the Gov. would not let them get rid of personnel-evn though they were shut! We were lucky in that regard because we hadn’t hired anyone yet.

Absolutely, it’s amazing how much each spect of the career has different disciplines - for example when you can set up an event from soup to nuts, so to speak: Make a menu, get a budget, get the product, gat the cooks to produce it, execute the event, and then reconcile the costs, feedback from the guests (and your boss/business owner) and have everything go as planned has each its own sense of satisfaction and heartburn.

This year marks 40 years, everything from McDonald’s to 4* 5 Diamond restaurants, several countries and 3 continents, which finally led to us opening a humble little BBQ joint ran by just us 2 (and a couple neighbor kids during high season) and it took all that experience (and, luck!) to survive the opening 4 months before COVID, lol.

Cooking at home is more simplified, and more satisfying.

Yes, and no.

Some jobs were hell and some were amazing, but I was always happiest cooking for the family (kids are grown and gone, so now it’s mostly the two of us).

I like the diversity of what I can prep at home, sometimes (when we’re flat out at the restaurant) seeing what i can week out that’s good with no ingredients.

Basically it’s the different challenges at home vs. the daily grind that make the difference for me. Some days I like the consistency that work brings, and sometimes it’s just something to check off a list so I can get home and do ‘some real food’.

Both of you

Paler than a victorian’s sickly child’s clammy skin.

Would the same be said if that was their fetish?

Same, but granulated onion and freshly ground pepper.
