This reminds me of when I was working in Quebec city and kept getting invitations for meetings later this week that I was sure we'd agreed would be next week. I eventually clued in that "next Friday" doesn't mean the same thing in French.

I think these might be a lot of the same people who take so much delight in taking people "out of their comfort zone".

If I'm using from a can, as opposed to a tube, then I scrape the rest of the can into a container, put it in the freezer, and then hack off a chunk when i need it.

I will never understand why the world uses as its standard the currency of a country that routinely defaults on its internal obligations (shut downs) and keeps threatening to default on external ones (debt ceiling). You could do worse, but not by much.

I think it's the general tendency of people to say they'll vote NDP when we're not having an election.
