@ai6yr @Viss Think I've mentioned to you before my partner has taken to calling my babble about computers and related "nerd vomit". Anyway they normally goto bed/sleep hours before me. They just asked me, from bedroom, if I was talking to them, was in my office reading and laughed at book was reading, told them that. They said no it was nerd vomit about computers. So now they are dreaming the nerd vomit from me. 🤣 They said it wasn't funny 😇

To be clear I'm not taking about being invited to stay at someone's holiday home, or out to dinner as a guest. I'm talking about people paying for your airfare, etc.

LA Times: Popular California beach closed amid E. coli outbreak

Santa Cruz County officials closed Capitola Beach after at least nine children became ill with E. coli infections linked to likely exposure at the beach or nearby waterways.

Officials are testing water around the popular coastal destination as visitors and pets are urged to avoid ocean, creek and lagoon water; the closure follows a separate, deadly outbreak in San Luis Obispo County.

I wonder if the issue with incels is that they are pursuing women way more attractive (or successful) than they are.

@EdwinG ha!! nice

I mean besides the ethics and corruption of it, as an adult "professional" I'd just be embarrassed to accept someone else paying my way - other than maybe family. I am thinking of people like Thomas and now some state department person accepting paid vacations. Or Trump weddings, etc. If I cannot afford something, I'd never in a million years have someone else pay for it for me. #USPol #Ethics #Bribes #SCOTUS

@neil I think we can agree that exchange feels like it barely counts as a mail server
