So, I'm in this very moment in the Great Britannic city of London.
It's been 9 years since I've been here last and 6 years since I visited the United Kingdom .

I haven't eaten any fish and the chips or drink any of those syrup like Guinness drinks this time around... but tomorrow I'm going to go see a marriage of Swedish music history and British fancy pancy singing and dancing when I enter the theater for Mama Mia.
 
Everywhere. It's the social media effect and parents not being parents.
Yeah it's getting way out of hand, kids come into our store and run around knocking things down and taking things because they know we can't touch them. Kids that are banned just walk in and we tell them to leave and they always argue.

It doesn't help that they seem to think they are invincible on their E bikes. I don't know why anyone in their right mind would by a 12 year old a bike that goes that fast, the kids run around our parking lot and cut in and out of the lanes no realizing how dangerous it is. Hell they even go out into the middle of a 50mph street and do wheelies while people are coming up behind them.
 
I find the term “overstand” in lieu of understand, cringy af.
Where did that term come from?
Like you understand x10?

Arnold never was a real fighter, he flourished with his body and charisma. Usually his cockiness and body made people hesitate in an argument, but he never had any experience fighting.
I love arnold (or the 1967-2010 arnold), but he never was a guy to be afraid of in a physical sense.

That said, this is the epitome of the human body;

He looked okay there, but you can tell even his biceps (which, as with his calves, he held into fairly late) wasn't where they should've been, he hid them under his t-shirt.
There's an earlier video when he did the same skit years before, his biceps looked insane there.

Found it, here it is:

Let's just go all out Schwarz!

(I should probably do something better with my time on this national holiday)
 
Dental problems are the worst and stupid expensive. Have to pay $2K for a tooth extraction + implant. Scheduled for the 9th.

The tooth that is being extracted already had a root canal on. Earlier this year, I was eating something and felt the crown shift and it felt weird for a day or two and then felt normal. Had a dental cleaning in Feb and x-rays showed that the tooth the crown was attached to likely broke.

Crown fellout yesterday while eating a carrot. Now I am missing a tooth for the next week.

Yeah, we have free dental until 20 yo, after that it's pretty much the same cost as you mentioned. I had braces upper and lower teeths, plastic palette behind my upper teeths, a big metal thing around my neck that went into my upper teeths and still have braces behind my lower teeth. All this for free since I did it in my early teens. Never had a hole (or what you call it) in a tooth and my teeth look pretty great today (except some coloring from years of coffee and snus).
 
I have not do my annual dental service since corona. Gonna make an appointment soon.

Anyway, roller coaster weeks. BOS management announced shutting down my location before Easter.

It’s Germany so it will take a while to know details and my future. It was on regional/national news and media.

But I finished my book start to finished yesterday. 2 months of work. Not bad. Next step is to sort the sequences. revise the wordings, and finish the first draft and get feedback from target demographic, teens, young adults.

2nd draft will be to an editor. Then 3-4, whatever it takes will be to potential Publisher/ self publish.

One good things about writing is the low cost.

It’s a teen fantasy novel with pictures. Your can see some of my pictures on the art alley forum thread.
 

Looked into this a little bit, the law is if it's $10,000 in cash or over and it has to do with preventing money laundering. The video is funny though but he's basically clowning those people for doing their job which is kind of annoying too, they didn't make the law they are just enforcing it and now they are part of his video where he gets to make money off of their faces.
