For performers, which is still fucked. But they did loosen the restrictions on flags for the audience - I definitely spotted Palestinian flags during the semis.

It seemed like they had audio issues with the broadcast for that song on top of audio issues at the bar I was at, it really didn't show the song in the best light but I suspect it was their best performance of the entire contest and it's a shame the audio issues hurt it, I'll have to rewatch it. I'm not sure they deserved 0, but I thought it was bad enough it was funny they got zero.

Don't stop boycotting, but it may be a factor in what we saw today, at the very least it's helping the Israeli government's advertising to be more effective. ESC really needs to do something (ideally ban Israel) because Israel has made Eurovision​ even more explicitly political than it was before.

Switzerland did not deserve that goose egg. Everyone in the bar I was at (US, MN) was shocked when that was announced, we also booed Israel and laughed at UK getting zero (even if that is the song that comes the closest to describing this year's Eurovision - what the hell just happened? No clue but I hate it). We were hyped for Austria pulling out the win.

(Sweden won the bar votes, of course)

from the UK

the past few years set the bar really low on that...

I also had a coworker named America and I'm pretty sure her parents were immigrants - English was pretty clearly not my coworker's first language. I think it works for her situation. (Funny enough, it was her reckless behavior that caused me to spend my last few weeks at that job on light duty...)

There's also America Ferrera, I don't think the name is that weird.

That's not really weird for American road sizes. If I had to guess that's more of a stroad with speeds around 64 km/h (40 mph), possibly officially 48 km/h (30 mph) with everyone doing 10 mph over the speed limit because the roads aren't designed to slow traffic to safe city speeds. Most of our roads are like this, and it's a contributor to our abhorrent pedestrian fatality rate.

There's a way to shut off the beeping entirely on most microwaves, but then forgetting your food is much more likely.

Good luck to all the stagehands who have to clean up the sand after France, also someone needs to come up with an Anakin meme for this

I like Portugal and I'm surprised it qualified ahead of a few others.

F in chat for Belgium

 

Hope this is okay here, I read the community description and I'm still not clear, but now I want to see someone slap an electric motor on and commute to work in an office chair.

 

The nips have been freed, kinda.

 

Another favorite pastime was digging a tunnel under his home; he attributed the secret of his success to "visits by elves" while he worked in the tunnel: "While I'm digging in the tunnel, the elves will often come to me with solutions to my problem."

Wikipedia cited a rather entertaining Time article as a citation for this.

Edited title, realised it worked better this way

 

2018 article but feels relevant now

 

The question definitely used to be "Have you traveled outside of the country recently?"

ope, kernel panic :/ (sh.itjust.works)

I'm on Bazzite and was able to rollback and ~~boot~~ get to the desktop, but I'm not completely sure where to go from here. I think I need to pin my current deployment before doing anything else? I think sudo ostree admin pin 0 ? (No, it's 1)

Help is welcome but I've barely begun to troubleshoot and I just installed Discord to ask on there. Looking for sympathy I guess?

Edit: phrasing

EDIT2: Not just me, someone on the uBlue Discourse linked to this post, and other people have posted about it on the Bazzite Discord. Roll back and wait, and curious if you're also on the Nvidia KDE build too. I should probably be helpful and open an issue on GitHub. :/

Edit 3: devs are working on it :)

Final edit: the devs released a working update this afternoon, I just updated and it works. I kinda like this atomic distro thing, at no point in time was my computer unusable. 10/10 experience, still would prefer to avoid future kernel panic at the disco, lol.

 

Based on what was posted on the Twin Cities Pride Facebook page, Target may have been kicked out.

 

And if you'd decide to leave, where would you go?

Context for why I'm asking: I'm trans and currently live in Minnesota, I moved here from Florida so I have some idea of how miserable big moves can be. I can get EU citizenship which makes me very lucky, but... Do I sit here and hope Minnesota can protect me from 🥭 or do I try to build a life somewhere else, again?
