The weekend forecast has gone up: They're predicting 95F/35C now.


Boston



The US has our first case of the year, currently hospitalized at Mass. General. CNN says the CDC isn't sure where the guy got it. He'd recently been to Canada, but Canada doesn't report any cases.
Canada has now reported 2 cases, both in Quebec.
 
The only conclusion that I can draw from this is that Irish cooking, described by the Irish themselves™ as boiling everything for at least three hours, is the only safe way for humans to consume animals.

Living amongst the French for a few years has tainted my standards about what counts as cooked, but I do have two different types of cabbage in my fridge at the moment to balance that out.
 
And here in Nica, smoke the wild caught lizard in the open plastic fueled fire and somehow live longer than people with healthcare.
 
two or three weeks ago some guy called on the phone . Says the "campaign" will be over soon . That's the "package" we bought last year or so . Gives some amounts of minutes per month to talk , pass the limit and you will pay more money , things like that . The phone used to belong to my late father , it is with the same operator company for 15 or 20 years , after his death ı took the contract so that it would stay in use . Never felt the need to check , considering the "campaign" would actually end in July . Older brother knows these stuff , accordingly we went to the "phone center" . The guy gave me the standart hateful look , gave us a number . If the campaign ı had was costing me 4 units of money per month , this would be about 7 ... Mind you , the company knows this . That the offer will be more . Brother chose to change operators . One said 5 per month . We chose the one with 3 per month . Had to pay 1,5 months worth of money as a fine , all right , proper no doubt . Can't use SMS function , it will cost 2 liras everytime ı send one message .

now there is this phone number . We don't know who . Calls me Muhammed , which is not my name . Told it was a wrong number . Now texting . Asking how ı am . Text back , wrong number and so on . Sends 3 messages back . Telling me some "older sister" is fine . Now that half the world is already watching me and stuff , just do not feel bad or something . Dear New Turkey Police of course will not bother track the numbers back to find the gang hired by the telecom companies in the country to trick people to buy more costly packages . Naturally with its thread in the echo chamber . The world keeps returning , things end . This is all ı will say .

Action and reaction is a novel concept for the Telegraph.

The counter-invasion against the Anglo-Normans! Just boil a lot of cabbage with a lot of bacon for two hours and you'll feel patriotic.
 
Ebay have just sent me an email for collection in person of an item, and it is supposed to have a QR code for their app to scan. They have not included the image in the email, and I cannot work out how it is supposed to work. The image tag is:

<img style="outline: currentcolor none medium; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;" width="115" height="115">

With no source. How is that supposed to load anything? There are some dodgy identifiers in the table cell in which it is placed, and if it was a web page I would assume they were loading the image in javascript, but no one would run javascript on their emails would they?
 
Hmmmm, can't you access the source code?

You should see something like
<img src=3D"https://insertfilenamehere.jpg" alt=3D"Alternate text" width=3D"690" height=
=3D"1188" border=3D"0" usemap=3D"#Map" /></td>
and you could just copy out the image URL and try to see whether it loads separately in a browser.

That is what I was trying to do, but the img tag does not have an src attribute. I copied the exact tag in my post above.
 
Then just write back to them and tell them the QR pic never arrived.
 
My ex will spend the long weekend in Germany.
So I asked what's her desire to spend her weekend with an actual German (meaning me), on a scale of 1-10.
She says 10.
Then I ask what she'd say if I said that I could still book a ticket...
To which the answer is "thanks, no, my plans are already settled".

Was the first question too obscure or what o_O?

So either she wants to spend time with a different real German, or she is suspicious that you might not be a real German after all. :hmm:

Or maybe what her plans are might not include things you're interested in.

Any of half a dozen reasons are possible.
 
she would like to but she has other things to do . Your breakup thing was rough ? Might have been some getting even or whatever .
