COVID-19. The inflation that everyone hates was a result of COVID (and other knock-on effects like price gauging), and not all Biden's fault. Biden has been cleaning up after Trump's awful pandemic response, and it's all Biden's fault apparently, so let's give the job back to the guy who messed it all up in the first place.

So the Brigadier will be disciplined, right? Right?

Baby, It's Cold Outside. It's such a fun song as the guy and girl go back and forth. Until you realize that he's guilting her into sleeping with him. Eww!

Yeah, but you lot like queueing, like it's the national pastime.

After asking a similar question on this channel a few days ago, I think we're going to watch the coverage on NBC, unless I find something better on YouTube.

Cue all the comments about the final results not being available tomorrow night...

The term "Yank" is incredibly loaded with all kinds of stereotypes the world over, but it has a very different meaning in the US.

Everyone else has covered the important stuff, so I'll just recommend that, especially if you have kids, you identify the local sledding hill and get a sled, snow pants, warm coat, snow boots, gloves and hat. If you've gotta live in it, make sure you enjoy it when it comes!

Our family is planning to watch the election coverage together on Tuesday night. What do you recommend we watch? We'd like some good quality national coverage without getting bombarded by red politics. We don't have cable TV, so are limited to streaming services.

... researchers noted the similarities between the game and the real-world pandemics. Both had an immediate impact on dense urban areas, which limited the effectiveness of containment procedures in stopping the spread of disease, while air travel, like fast travel, allowed infections to spread across large parts of the world with ease. Lofgren compared the in-game "first responders", many of whom contracted Corrupted Blood when they attempted to heal others, to healthcare workers that were overrun with COVID-19 patients and became infected themselves. While a direct analogue was not made to griefers [players who engage in bad faith multiplayer game tactics], meanwhile, Lofgren also acknowledged individuals who contracted the COVID-19 virus but chose not to quarantine, thus infecting others through negligence.
