MeccAnon LinkRIP. Extremely down-to-earth lad. My boss came across him and Mike Scott from Waterboys in a pub in Glasgow and they got him a pint and chatted away. They were drunk as skunks, mind you, but still...RIP. Extremely down-to-earth lad. My boss came across him and Mike Scott from Waterboys in a pub in Glasgow and they got him a pint and chatted away.

Comment on Italy bans cultivated meat in ~food
MeccAnon Link ParentItalian here also, from south-east (Puglia - the "heel of the boot"). Yes, we can afford meat, although traditionally it's always been a relatively smaller part of our diet compared to the North...Doesn't half of Italy can't afford to have meat to begin with?
Italian here also, from south-east (Puglia - the "heel of the boot"). Yes, we can afford meat, although traditionally it's always been a relatively smaller part of our diet compared to the North (generalising, of course).
Or is that just old information and things changed?
Things have changed since 2 centuries ago. The south economical landscape consists mostly of SMEs, tourism and low-innovation industry, while focussed agriculture areas e.g. olive oil still remain relevant.
the Italian Conservatives always hate the South
It's a manifest staple by a specific area/party (the so-called League, previously Northern League and before that League of Lombardy). The other two parties representing conservatives in the Parliament have instead a strong foothold in the Southern regions. You'd be surprised how many people here voted for them in the last few elections.
Hope this helps!

Comment on Chaos, comedy, and ‘crying rooms’: Inside Jimmy Fallon’s ‘Tonight Show’ in ~tv
MeccAnon LinkWhoever said in the article about Jimmy might have a drinking problem is probably onto something. Such erratic behaviour, bad day/good day seems the typical hangover consequence.

Comment on Russia has 'right to war' with 'each and every' NATO country - Dmitry Medvedev in ~news

Putin has chosen to be unreachable to international media and uses two sets of puppets instead:
Medvedev is the "crazy guy", tasked with releasing extreme opinions and statements, to test the waters and gauge the international community reaction about the underlying message, whether is NATO threats or nukes flailing.
Lavrov and to a lesser extent Shoigu are the ones to pay attention to when they speak, as they're effectively Putin's Metatron. Whether they make sense or not, it's likely that whatever they convey comes from him.

Many books have been written about the excesses and the drama of wedding planning and execution - I personally like the no-nonsense of Imogen Edwards-Jones' Wedding Babylon - and many reality TVs, including the ones Gonzalez worked at.
So what is the sense of this article? "Hey, let me remind you once again what the rich and crass do in their wedding days"?
The list doesn't mean anything until it is accompanied to the role/involvement of the specific name. It is a mish-mash of Epstein associates, witnesses, people marginally involved or simply named during interrogations.
Pitchforks will be raised and each name will be a target. It's a shame that this information has been revealed like this.
