i have a friend who lives near where one of the fires was burning. they got alerted about the fire and told that they should be ready for evacuation. he saw the fire on the mountain and decided to just pack up and go because, if the wind direction changed, it would only take a few minutes for the fire to get there. meanwhile all his neighbors were just watching the forest burn from their balconies not giving a flying f. fortunately for them the wind didn't change

ATI before and AMD later, even when they had competitive or even superior products to nvidia, both failed in the same way: they could not compete with nvidia's mastery of marketing - both normal and underhanded. even when nvidia sells crap, they always manage to convince people that their overpriced crap is better than the product of their competitors (even if its a better product).

i decided that his name will be Panthro. gray, male and fearless 1 month old kitten. no matter how many times she chases him away, he still goes and eats from her bowl

she looks more like a 12-13 year old boy than the supposedly 14 year old girl they intend her to be in the show

now she doesn't even look female under any point of view

i drove 4000 km in the last week... and probably walked as many first i went to Hanover for the wedding of a cousin. i took a ship to Ancona, Italy and drove through Austria and all the way to Hanover in north Germany. after the wedding i went to Berlin and after touring the city for a day (about 9 hours of walking) i left for Prague. i spend a day (8 hours of walking) there and the next day i left for Budapest where i spend one more day (8 hours of walking) before going through the torture of waiting in the borders of Serbia for 2 hours before going through the entire country and waiting another 2 hours at the Bulgarian borders before finally getting back to Greece (fortunately, except for Serbia all other countries are part of the EU and there were no border controls). and on the way the clutch of my car stopped working right so changing gears became a struggle. if the problem had presented itself on Italy i could have done something about it because i know the language and could explain the problem to the mechanic, but it happened in Germany where finding someone who speaks any other language was really hard. in the end i found a workaround which is to keep my foot on the clutch at all times to keep it working... a very hard thing to do for so many hours of driving. the funniest part was in Berlin when i found a parking ticket on my car. it was just 10 euros but i found it strange to find it there because parking was allowed there. after inspecting the ticket a bit more i realized it was issued to a different car and that driver dumped it on my car thinking that since i was a foreigner i would fail to notice it and pay for him.

well, its true! in the 70s in germany, germans were not too keen on doing certain jobs so immigrants took them. today in greece many people are unemployed not because there are no jobs but because they dont like the jobs available. of course there is always the other side of the coin. there are many jobs that locals want to do but immigrants (and especially illegal immigrants) will do for much less. illegal immigrants are actually the best option for any boss since they can't ask for any work rights because they can't go to any authority to complain or they risk deportation.

a wasp got in the house from somewhere and decided to wake me up this morning with a sting

This took me a day to figure out. It was a day well spent, but that's besides the point. can you explain it, i suppose you must have played skyrim to understand it and i was never a fan of TES

i found these 2 in the shed next to the chicken pen the gray is pretty brave, it didn't hide as much as the white and even ventured outside and picked a piece of meat from the dog's bowl (of course the dog was not there)

When my cat was murdered i said "may whoever did it see whatever he loves die in agony". For about a month now a neighbor was getting sicker and sicker without any doctor being able to figure out what's wrong with him as the only symptom was intense pain and today he died. The thing is that according to my mother, his wife is the most possible suspect for the death of my cat. Do you think there's a relation?
