@TheStalwart In Australia they call it a Long Black.

Is “caffè americano” (replicating drip coffee by diluting espresso with water) meant to be something of a subtle dig? It is in fact how I prefer to drink coffee, but am I supposed to be feel a tad embarrassed when I order it? (It’s fine, I can handle it, but I’m just curious)

@ProjectGokuu @AndyMurthi Just get an email receipt.

Chris Masterjohn says touching a grocery store receipt puts more BPA into your body than drinking from a plastic water bottle. BPA is a plastic chemical that messes with your hormones. The receipt paper is designed so the coating dusts off onto your hands the moment you touch it. That's how heat printing works. A plastic water bottle is sturdy. A receipt is built to come apart. > If you're a cashier, this stuff is soaking into your fingertips every shift you work. > If you're a customer, you're getting hit with it every time you grab one at checkout. The fix takes two seconds. Tell them you don't need the receipt. — Dr. Chris Masterjohn (@ChrisMasterjohn) on Alex Clark’s (@yoalexrapz) podcast

@Ameer_Kotecha That is a low bar considering the crop of British politicians.

Lots of humour in The King’s speech. All delivered with a twinkle in the eye. Content aside, simply as a public speaker, I’m not sure any British politician can match him

@VFinnishProbs Canadians - Is that all the lakes you have. 😉

American minds are going to be blown away when they discover Finland has 187,888 lakes and summer days with 20 hours of sunlight.

How much freight did the Elizabeth Line move? The 401 is the busiest truck route in North America and has been called a rolling warehouse. Without it the economy of Southern Ontario would collapse. The TTC’s Line 1 moves a huge number of people a day but they would all starve without the 401.

Fun fact: The new Elizabeth line in London moved more people in 2025 than Highway 401, the busiest freeway in North America.

@BreeOlson Have a great Avril. 😁

Wake up, wake up, it’s the 1st of the month…

@EODHappyCaptain That is the face of a Sergeant Major if there ever was one.

The Cadets from Old Dominion University who stopped an active shooter, received 8 Meritorious Service Medals. Two of them received Purple Hearts…from the Sergeant Major of the Army and the Secretary of the Army. Absolutely amazing and well deserved.

@HKaaman @h_thoreson In the first Gulf War a huge deal was made of the Marines conducting an amphibious assault on Kuwait supported by the Iowa battleship. Of course that never happened. Instead a deep armoured strike was made to the Euphrates. The Russians have a word for it - maskirovka.

The Americans are days away from shouting ”We are landing on SE Kharg island at the following coordinates on April 3 at 5AM.” Just tell the Iranians where you want the IEDs so you can walk straight into them

@Alt_Azn Bosch

I’m starting to realize Entourage was the last great depiction of LA before the city started to suck.

@storm2k @Blame_Suarez Or in this case a Canadian.

@Blame_Suarez but you see, how dare americans--american ACTORS, no less--take over a local football club and use their fame to promote the club and help it make money. we can't have that!

In an era where people bemoan ownerships that drag clubs into the abyss, I find the bitterness towards Wrexham tedious. These two have done things the right way - invested in the club and community whilst not interfering with the day-to-day running of the club.

@si_o_Quee @Blame_Suarez Or in this case a Canadian.

@Blame_Suarez God knows how much i despise yanks and the americanisation of things. But these 2 have been a breath of fresh air. The hate against these is so forced. It’s a gimmick basically. If they were not successful with wrexham, i reckon that they wouldn’t be hated as much.

@StatisticUrban @h_thoreson Counterintuitively Wisconsin has the highest per capita consumption of alcohol.

Here's a map of traffic fatalities per 100M vehicle-miles. Florida's roads all seem ludicrously dangerous.

@twitandrewking They have a really good cafeteria at their HO.

This one company, “Recipe Unlimited” owns all these restaurants now…plus The Keg…wild. recipeunlimited.com

@cuteasbutton87 I sincerely hope you can go in a month as that means conflict is not prolonged.

@PeterJakes My dads cousins are there. They are okay. We have a family friends who live there

I'm flying into Dubai in a month. I hope this ends soon

@BreeOlson -19C tonight here in Toronto but clear. Is March coming in like a lion or a lamb?

Wake up, wake up, it’s the 1st of the month…

@DrEliDavid So the Apple TV series Tehran is actually a documentary. 😲

How did Israel have all that intelligence? The regime's former president Ahmadinejad: “Iran's Secret Service had established a unit to target Mossad agents within Iran. However, the head of this unit turned out to be a Mossad operative himself, along with 20 other agents.” 🤣

@ayeshaijazkhan It might be wise to wait until we see how Iran’s internal political situation changes. There is a chance that when the smoky clears the Gulf might be in an even better position as a regional hub.

Dubai is done. It will be nearly impossible for UAE to sell a secure lifestyle to expats and investors now.

@Platypuss_10 I have been stuck in traffic many a time on that stretch of the 401. Watching planes takeoff and land from that runaway makes that a little less painful.

Can you guess this beautiful approach!
