I’m sorry, but if you bring gypsum - or any damn mineral below 3 on the Mohs scale at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.
75% of Thai Airways flights I've taken this month have been significantly delayed. Whats going on.

Saw your man pushing a boulder up the hill. He looked tired
Anyone else thinking about limiting music to that pre 2026, i.e. Preslop?
I'm leaving Shenzhen via Shekou. Lets see how it goes. Weather looks good.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap. But sadly it's the ordinary people who suffer for the sins of their governments.
I am so low liturgy coded that If someone ever says "the lord rebuke you" to me, I would probably automatically and unthinkingly reply "and also with you."
The Orthodox (Greek and others) will save those who are worthy.
