@TheBreadmonkey Planning a salad for dinner. Maybe with tuna. What's Ben's Top Tip to up my salad game?
Bold Beans chickpeas and Squeaky Bean tuna mayo with controversially a dash of coconut yoghurt. Plenty of avo.
There are more Linux distros in existence than there are people who can explain the difference between them 😂
The fact that the delegate voting will be in person - which I think is a really good idea - tangentially assures it will be a media spectacle.
A media spectacle in Maine in July? I have died and gone to heaven.
@CartyBoston Ask people from LA and NY what a media feeding frenzy is like and you will get equal numbers staring into the middle distance and describing it in terms you might associate with the Somme, and people shrugging and popping their gum because for them it was the same as any other Wednesday.
