Symmetry ?Silicon Waffle said:It's a neat plan, actually. On one hand, everyone feels good, and on the other, everyone still gets the benefits as predefined and calculated in advance.
Resistance is futile, as it will be eliminated or suppressed easier with such a difference both online and offline.
Were you expecting storm weather? In sunny SD?collinsmark said:
It's rare, I'll give you that. But it does happen from time to time.WWGD said:
Sounds like fun if you ask me.collinsmark said:

What I like best about that is it sounds like a line lifted straight from a John Prine songSilicon Waffle said:I was just joking for fun ! No it's asymmetry.
When you see the rain, don't ever forget to remember me !

I visited Berlin once. There's a Starbucks on the square where the Brandenburg gate stands. I can't now remember if it's actually in the former Soviet embassy or just next door.zoobyshoe said:
I've got a piece of Berlin Wall. But I was told it's not valuable because almost everyone has one.Ibix said:
.I counted and there are like EDIT: 22 at my place and they are all conglomerated on the capital and cities around it. It makes sense, only people with money would visit such a place.Silicon Waffle said:I count on the google map and find there are 6 Starbucks in my city. People here I don't think prefer Starbucks to other local coffee stores. They, Starbucks inclusive, serve almost the same bitter tastes at similarly dear prices

That way they can serve people from 3 countries at the borders.WWGD said:

I slept all night but woke up again. It is still very windy! The wind chill factor is giving things an arctic nip. I was hoping all this would have cleared up over night, but no such luck.collinsmark said:

Fire monkey? Sure it's going to be a funny year! :)WWGD said:
Strange thing. Here (est. ¼ around the globe) it's unusually windy, too.zoobyshoe said:
Hmmmm. Well, I hope it goes away. If I liked this kind of weather I'd have moved to Tierra Del Fuego.fresh_42 said:
Hairy Ball Theorem (Nothing vulgar, this is the actual name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairy_ball_theorem)?fresh_42 said:
I see the English trivialization reads "you can't comb a hairy ball flat without creating a cowlick".WWGD said:
I've tried. "Frederick Douglass smiling" gets you a little further, i.e. on some pictures there is a touch of a smile. However, at those times it wasn't usual to smile on portraits which were the pictures mainly taken. And then there is the most significant part of all: far too much hair!DiracPool said:
But maybe he's got a Hairy Ball Theorem-like result that prevents him from combing it.fresh_42 said:
True, you look at today's portrait and you would believe humanity has conquered all of its problems, with the big smiles with teeth popping out, like a freshly-picked corn husk.fresh_42 said:
Funny how two hanks so clearly far away from each other all of a sudden converge.WWGD said:
I've been to another one there about a mile away just to give it a try. It's been expensive, senseless and instead of offering different tastes of coffee varying with their origins and roasting procedures, they serve different kinds of chemicals added to it.Ibix said:
I went to another one several thousand miles away from it, just now, only to find it was closed today due to a power outage. I would have preferred a senseless Berliner Starbucks to one that was closed.fresh_42 said:
