@conradhackett One of the first jokes I learned in German was (translated to English):
What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual.
What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual.
What do you call someone who speaks only one language? American.

One great way to go out to eat in #Spain is to order the #MenúDelDía. It’s kind of like primi and secondi piati in #Italy but much cheaper. In #Madrid, we’ve been having a drink (beer, coffee, water), an appetizer, a main, and a dessert (which I usually pass on) for between €12-14. #LongTermTravel

We’re winding up a month in #Madrid, and, to get mentally in sync (not N’ Sync), I read For Whom the Bell Tolls by #Hemingway. That was a long slog. I had the same problem with Museum of Innocence by #Pamuk when we were in #Istanbul. This is what I get for trying to be cultured.

@mrdenmore DevOps is so underappreciated. It’s like water and electricity: you only notice once it doesn’t work like it should.

Logging onto Mastodon feels like when I used to use my 1200 baud modem to log into my favorite BBSs (bulletin board systems for those of you who never grew to appreciate the screeching sounds on your phone line).

@Sheril Maybe the write up for the dissertation defense and the “where *should* they look” for the tell-all book that will make Maggie Haberman green with envy? 😁

Photo of Benedict Cumberbatch for a Spanish magazine. The Spanish caption is “una estrella a pesar de todo.” The - incorrectly done - translation is “A star in spit of everything.”

@mike I found that even my curated list on Tw!tter wound up being a rabbit hole of darkness. The migration to Mastodon is like doing a fresh system install. Now if I could just upgrade the CPU in my brain! 😁

@vanessagorelkin @noahshachtman I think the migrants (refugees?) are a small minority of users. The question is what % of activity do they represent, as Twitter is a clear case of Pareto optimality in that 5-10% of the users produce 80% of the revenue generating content. I imagine the refugees, like me, who come to Mastodon will feel more comfortable taking stands here because they’ll generate actual dialogue rather than virtual screaming matches.

After watching people’s luggage rolling all over the subway car on the way to the airport, my wife declared that roller bags need to come with wheel locks like strollers. Samsonite, we expect a royalty for this brilliant idea!

Apparently, Putin never watched the Seinfeld episode where the Ukrainian demolished the Risk game between Kramer and Newman because he thought Kramer said that Ukrainians were weak.
