    Our North - SSE Policy Update Megathread

    Those not carrying extra body fat may be at a disadvantage if not taking in the necessary daily calories required to live, work and fight in the North, but my experience is it's not the skinny who die (or suffer cold injury) but the stupid. Common sense rules. Stay dry and rested. Eat, but...

    End of an era at Cracker Barrel

    In other times there would be an expected backlash from one constituency who'll boycott the restaurant (passively or actively) as a reaction to Trump's interference. But, hanging my argument on stereotypes, there's the other constituency, who may be the expected demographic of existing Cracker...

    End of an era at Cracker Barrel

    Football (real footie, a game played with feet) is the most watched (and played) sport. And, with some odd exceptions around the world, they don't have cheerleaders (female or male). That's because footie fans come to watch a game that doesn't stop every six to ten seconds and don't need to be...

    End of an era at Cracker Barrel

    Who the fuk is "Uncle Herschel"? Never seen him on any cheese packages. It's not like he was an Aunt Jemima character.

    Barred entry into USA for training

    My experience with this was even way longer ago than your's, but I had to do the same thing, submit Visit Clearance Requests to CDLS(W) every time I went to the US. Depending on where I was going (and/or if it was going to be a frequent occurrence), I was also required to be "accredited" by the...

    Barred entry into USA for training

    In the 80s to early 2000s Canadian citizens didn't need a passport to cross the border to the USA (or Mexico). You only needed to show proof of citizenship, usually a birth certificate but in many instances they just took your word of place of birth as long as you had a Canadian drivers...

    Barred entry into USA for training

    As the OP indicated over 10 years ago that he was then living in the United States and a couple of years later raised a question that suggested he may prefer not interacting with normal CBP procedures/personnel. It is possible that he may have had previous negative interaction with US...

    Police Officers doing good things

    While it would be a good tale, neither the "lawyer" nor the jurisdiction is identified. One clue as the handcuffed woman (it seems to be a "shackled gals" fetish thread) is led from the courtroom by deputies is the county shield for "Hamilton County, Ohio". The county seat is Cincinnati...

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    But the war criminal Putin seemed almost giddy. He got his smiling face being warmly welcomed by Trump who then ushered him into the presidential limo. Guess that Vlad not wanting to use lube for this encounter may account for Trump's appearance of discomfort...

    Mass food poisonings cast shadow over Indonesia's free school meals

    And I got food poisoning in Alexandria. No problem in the Egyptian one, but got the trots eating out in the Virginia one. (But to be honest, the quantity of beer that we consumed may have contributed - my companions were Australians and New Zealanders).

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Then why didn't you write that rather than apparently repeating some random, unattributed (and incorrect) comment. Were you trying to sound almost "presidential" or just emulating the practice of not bothering about facts?

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    I guess you missed that it wasn't the "Chief of Police" who was fired but that the Chief fired suspended a subordinate district commander. But never let facts interfere with a story. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/dc-police-commander-suspended-crime-statistics/3959566/
