Dear Bob. I'm so fucking sorry.

Why would vaccination end? Not from the US - what did I miss?

And it's sooo typical of their hyper-inflated personal and national egos:
They didn't wonder for one minute why on earth foreign companies would pay up. For the honor or doing business with the greatest country on earth tm? Because they'd have no choice of other buyers, since no other countries has car / computer / whatever manufacturers who'd buy their products instead?

They. Are. So. Fucking. Insular.

Thank you.

Tbh I'd love a key, sounds like something I'd really enjoy!

I'm sorry what?

French woman here. I used to live in Damascus and I know Lebanon a bit. It was a wonderful place with great people (and dumbasses, obviously, but the great people were really great). Just wanted to say: I get it. I see you.

Where I'm from, the hyperbole would go "You'll get punched."

It took me a while to understand what you meant because we don't write anything on our ballots. There are piles of small cards with one candidate (or list) on each, we (are supposed to) pick one of each and put one in the envelope.
But yeah, I agree with your take.

It was common in France until my dad's childhood, in the 60s. There were commercials for Ricoré (half coffee, half chickory) in the 80s. AFAIK, you can still buy it in all supermarkets.

Fwiw, it's répertoire.
