Oh, it's real. This was offered for my sister-in-law.

Also. around the mediterrainian, fish is a food staple of the poor. The point is to eliminate excess.

I'd argue that an inlander ordering fish at a fancy restaurant on a Friday during Lent is not following the spirit of the law (which can be more of a discipline than a rule, depending on the local episcopal authority), especially if it's not a special occasion and the fish was caught hundreds of kilometers away.

Some background for the unfamiliar:

"OP" is the abbreviation for "Ordo Prædicatorum", or "Order of Preachers" in English, aka the Dominicans.

Saint Dominic is the founder of their order.

That's limerence.

A more stable relationship is when feelings crystalize, but until then, there's limerence. Two-way limerent relationships are as unstable as a bottle of undiluted nitroglycerin. In any case, limerent relationships are quite common, and are the stuff of music, art, and poetry.

Ten 9/11's?

Jesus, that's... 8 and 2/11.

There's a reason why every encounter with an Angel starts with them saying "Do not be afraid."

Also, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation which has recently paid for YouTube ads against automatic tax filing.

...hospitals sell your information, too.

I feel so sorry for those of you living in places with for-profit healthcare.

Your tea bag...

No, it's not, because I use something other than tea bags.

That's you. That's what you wrote.

The article doesn't mention it, but there's a "Made in the EU" labeling phenomenon happening that makes me worried about Canadian and Mexican products getting thrown out with the American bathwater here. The point shouldn't be to fight nationalism with more nationalism. It should be to fight nationalism with good globalism.

I work in healthcare. This already happens. The problem is with codifying it.

The Onion a little over ten years ago:

Horrified Subway Execs Assumed People Were Buying Footlongs To Share With A Friend

Probably people who have heard of these scientists being recently credited for their work.

The phrase "all the credit" is a bit sensationalist, and it's too easy to poke holes in, although I do concede that "Most of the credit" is vague and "All of the Nobel Prize recognition and prize money / peer accolades" is a bit too wordy.

It's important that we don't weaken the cause by easily disprovable exaggeration. These scientists did not get nearly enough credit; true.

Consumer protections and laws against engineered obsolescence? Yes, please!

I mean, yes, it technically fits the definition of manifesto, but the word that comes to mind a "blurb".

I wonder if Ted Kaczynski or anyone else's manifestos along anti-corporate-establishment lines are being censored. If not, maybe it's because they're a little less digestible. If so, then maybe some articles by Elizabeth Rosenthal could be posted.

It's a project by an Australian team, so one would assume two things:

1. It's in Australian Dollars.
2. Australia has experienced severe hyperinflation overnight (or earlier today, for many of us reading this)

What they're suggesting would be a lot easier and cheaper if we still had a nationalized oil industry.

It means your car is likely less than 10 years old, so... yes.

When I got married and had a kid, I discovered "trouble swalling pills" is indeed a phenomenon.

I have been taking pills since I was five thanks to my temperature-based allergy. I just salivate when I see a pill. It's quite inconvenient when I am handling my child or spouse's medicine.

Campbell's is going to do what Campbell's is going to do

It absolutely decimated the local economy the last time this happened.

Also that can should read 540mL pre-shrinkflation.
