Is it tricky? English is my first language and it doesn’t seem difficult to me, but I never gave it much thought. So fascinating.

Or a French person.

My dog liked to roll his around and get treats out of it.

Here’s Grammar.com saying the same: https://www.grammar.com/usage_and_difference:_till,_until,_'til (you have to copy/paste the entire link - Lemmy is fighting me on the URL format).

There are plenty of non-dictionary linguistic sources out there that corroborate, but I’m not going to waste my time spoon feeding them to you when clearly you’re incapable of admitting when you’re wrong. “Till” is not an abbreviation. You made that assertion up all on your own. And I’m certainly not going to trust someone who doesn’t even know when it’s proper to capitalize words.

I used to think that as well, but this is also standard usage: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/should-you-use-until-or-till-or-til

Omg - KIDding aside, that’s the grill I actually have! https://www.weber.com/AU/en/q-range/baby-q/

Pretty sure it’s a BBQ.

Haha - brilliant! (But also probably those honkin’ big turkey legs.)

I want to open a “cartoon food” restaurant, but I don’t know how. But where there’s a will there’s a way, or some shit like that.

That’s just the technique he uses not to get the couch pregnant. No one wants an unplanned loveseat.

I’m thrilled that there’s some sort of government pushback, but I did think that “emergency naked bike ride” was absolutely the best Portland response ever. Keep on keepin’ on you glorious weirdos!

Never having done a hunger strike myself, I thought the following was interesting. It sounds like there’s kind of a medical protocol to it and I wonder what measures are taken when it’s deemed “dangerous.” Under these conditions I’m guessing some folks could last physically (no judgement on the mental toughness it takes!) for quite some time:

“The students have been drinking water with electrolytes and having their vitals tested twice a day.”

Check out Mango. I was able to get a free subscription through my library.

There’s an Italian restaurant in Denver (Gaetano’s) that was opened in the 40s to give the mob wives something to keep them busy and to launder money. The mob is long gone, but the restaurant is still pretty popular.

My former rowing partner was one of the people blinded by eye drops before these safety standards were established. I’m sure she can vouch for how not-a-big-deal this is after losing her job, marriage, home, and almost her life. Fuckers.

I don’t need a timer though.

I have brief mode on, she doesn’t give a shit. I need “say the absolute minimum number of words” mode.

Now they can hear me scream “shut the fuck up Alexa!!!” every time she says “…by the way…” when I just want to know what time it is.

…and now I have Careless Whispers stuck in my head. You’re welcome.

But wait, isn’t this some sort of official government communication channel now? Sure there must be uptime agreements and penalties for such a thing, right? Right?!?
