Did you tell Rick and Morty this

I remember him as Gurney Halleck and his brief non-speaking turn as Karla in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

I had no idea he played Karla in TTSS, but very familiar with TNG, the X-Men films and his turn as Gurney Halleck in David Lynch's Dune.

RIP

Sikhs (Khalsa) are also technically obliged to carry a knife around at all times.

One of my biggest regrets is not availing myself of an NZ Working Holiday visa in 2014.

This is really a grass is greener scenario because I just left there (NZ) along with a large amount of people I know because of the bad economy.

I heard a lot of doom and gloom about the economy before I came here, but finding a job proved to be straightforward. The pay leaves a lot to be desired, and I'm not intending to extend my visa because of that.

Caveat: I'm not living in a typical region of the country, I'm in Wānaka, which is easier to find a job in but also more expensive than most of the country.

I’ve been there but I figured those were all tourist jobs.

I guess I didn't make the distinction between "any job" and "any job in my field." It's very easy to get offers for "any job" in Wanaka on a working holiday visa, but to get a job that's even vaguely tech adjacent here, especially on a WHV, you really have to luck out, and even then it is much lower paid than it would be in the US.

NZ is really greener though. Economy is shite everywhere until further notice.

There's also so called linear scaling DFT

There are even callbacks to Seventeen Moments of Spring in children's cartoons like Treasure Island.

Is this like the history of Coca-Cola in Latin America

Or the horrifying American Fruit Company (Chiquita now) in South America ?

Who was it that sent a gunboat to Hawaii and ousted their government, then demanded it be a state. The feds resisted for a while but that's how we got Hawaii - at a fruit company mercenary gunpoint.

That was Dole, according to the Hawaiians I know.

Weren't Mazda 626s notorious for this

This is like that SNL skit with Tim Meadows where Will Ferrell has the F on his shirt on the kids TV show and keeps getting in the inappropriate order

I guess that's where the saying "playing the flute in front of the water buffalo" comes from
