I missed this in Amsterdam by one day, so sad:

"How can you govern a country which has two hundred and forty-six varieties of cheese?" – Charles de Gaulle

Cheese the French way:

Her favourite is really Swiss Gruyere, but she can't stand to admit it.

Kudos to PTB for his constant and unflagging dedication to Science in the face of the onslaught of trolls from who knows where (Russian!��) or perhaps everywhere. His jabs are perfect, my sucker punches add the oh so needed chuckle angle. Aside from the justified slaps of sarcasm. But PTB is the true champ. Thanks.

Nice of you to say Zeno. Of course it's a team effort just like science itself. Thank goodness for the refuge of good spirits, music, and cheese we have here and in the music thread.

I think the source is probably aliens from outer space. What better way to convince us there can't be aliens from outer space than to turn our minds to mush with a theory that outer space does not exist. Meanwhile the aliens live amongst us and breed with all our women using hypnotic regression and Quaaludes. Reference Bill Cosby. Not to mention what can't be mentioned.

I see what you did there.

Note the look away followed by a nod Ralph Fiennes performs at about 3:43.
Oscar for best inexplicable mannerisms in a movie.

That is odd. He does it right after saying, "this gets F-in worse". Like the cognitive dissonance of such a thought launches him into a mild convulsive twitch. Or he happens to see a mate walk by out of the corner of his eye who he casually acknowledges while in the middle of a life and death conversation. Or the movie's director is giving him some signal off camera which he acknowledges.

Good eye.

Or a passing waiter asks if they would like another two beers in a gestured fashion, so as to not disturb their convo.

That's when he orders the beer. A simple nod to the waiter. It arrives off camera a bit later. He sips from the beer right at the end of the sequence.

A man of his stature gets wants he wants by a simple nod of his head. No words need be exchanged. I see you guys haven't spent enough time around Mafia types. Too bad. You could learn a few useful habits if you did.

Exactly. I made a post remarking that, not noticing that you made one before.

Good that some pay attention. So many don't. Nicely done Mac.

pancakes are the amsterdam breakfast ticket

Anyone. Who can riddle me this.

My friend left ireland and went to Lithuania. He took out his Irish sim. Put in a Lithuanian one. I didn't know this. I called him on whatsapp, that is his Irish number, and he answered on me on WhatsApp with his Lithuanian sim ?? We are both confused. His lithuanian phone should have no ties to his irish one like this.

Your friend can sign into an app. That sort of thing is pretty common if you have internet access

Yeah he's messing with me. He could only have transferred his account to another number intentionally. Yet is playing dumb. Because he knows that the only thing I take seriously in this game of life is privacy. Sneaky rusky. Finds my weakness and exploits me while being Hard to outwit, I will give him that. I know he'd never do me harm though but I don't like these games.

Trust no one.

Lmao. I thought it was Begbie in Glasgow until I heard the accent. Then I knew I had to go further east. Ended up having to google it. Send it on in WhatsApp and got a thumbs up and crying laughing face emoji back.

To answer my own question in the name of science, that I wouldn't have had to ask had I done a little research. But I like to ask questions drunk. Ignorance is the backbone of a conversation - MacOneDouble. What good is a pub quiz when you can duck duck go the answer I ask. You register a whatsapp account with your phone number but you are free to switch sims, and receive a text, image or video that is sent by another person to the phone number that you registered with WhatsApp, through whatsapp. Makes sense. No conspiracy.

I found out that WhatsApp isn't popular in north America. Anyone who uses it there is mainly to keep in touch with people outside. And it's because Apple dominates the market so there is more of an accutomisation to iMessage, and SMS which both suck. Theres more competition between android and iOS in the rest of the world, but nonetheless WhatsApp is preferred regardless.

Interesting sort of. Although WhatsApp was bought out by Facebook, its features haven't changed and it prides itself on end to end encryption. Mark faced heat from the government to allow a backdoor to WhatsApp as it's used by terrorists. Which Snowden remarked on.

You then had a Russian entrepreneur release an app while claiming WhatsApp is not safe with zero evidence to make the claim which he did on Russia today. How would he know. How would Snowden know.

If you remember the apple controversy. How apple wouldn't decrypt a phone. Snowden also remarked that it was possible and all that was a front. So he contradicted himself and just was more happy to ****, rightfully maybe on the US govt.

One evidence? Two evidence? "No" is even easier to type than "zero". How is this happening?

No evidence. No basketballs. Zero basketballs. I'm all ears Charlie. I have no ears. I have zero ears.

Englithen me before I kick your ass. You've been really clapping my anal lately. Just kidding. Nothing annoys or offends me.
