To say nothing of what hangs above them.

Both Windows and MacOS have settings to select a virtual keyboard on top of the physical one used by the computer... So, if you know the foreign keyboard layout you can type from memory ( similar to closing your eyes) on the keyboard in front of you... Google it...!

These do make fun reads.....

I've always considered grammar, spelling and punctuation to be more important than accents in writing in a language. After all, accents are largely meant to facilitate the pronunciation of a word which is only important in the spoken word, although I take the point about si, which can mean two different things depending on the accent. In the spoken language though, si must be interpreted by context, so I suppose that goes for the written language as well.
 
Grammar and spelling are fundamental in expressing oneself well in the written language. Punctuation is important in lengthier sentences, particularly in the written form but can be sensed in the oral expression by pauses or emphasis being given verbally.
 
If I had to rank their relative importance, I would put grammar first in expressing oneself.

I have the same problem with French. I speak and write both French and English but have never figured out how to change my keyboard to French lettering. I just write the French word without the accent. English is much simpler in that regard as I can't recall there being any accents on English words.

There was a charming tiny 12-seat restaurant with a fireplace and gorgeous flower arrangements in the east village - 9th Street Market. It was one of my all time favorite spots in the late 90s. Sadly it is no longer there. Lots of great asian /japanese restaurants now on the list. Trying Kochi tomorrow. A lot great spots are run by alums of the 2 or 3 star places. Those are the fun ones to go to as the prices are still reasonable and they try hard to impress.

I'm so old I remember before Chelsea was a gay mecca and was rather a dangerous place for gays to hang out. That was when Christopher Street was at its zenith as a gay mecca.

An escort friend of mine sent me some pictures yesterday of Cancun where he currently is visiting. The weather is gorgeous and the beaches looked pretty empty. He said he was going to stay for several more weeks. I would love to join him but we have a stay at home order here in Ontario, Canada, for the next month. ?

I can understand why phonebooks are alphabetized but it's not as if the number of Michelin starred restaurants is particularly long, even in New York City.
 
I don't know the reason; is it perhaps based on seniority, i.e. the longest they have been on the list gets top billing?

At this time, there is no plan to remove the Cabana. In the PAST, it was granted to people who had contributed to the financial stability of the site. Going forward, I don’t see it being associated to a financial requirement, but instead to regular contributors.
 
In the SHORT TERM, there is no plan to make changes to permissions. This exercise is simplest to reorganize the forums.
 
If folks have contributed to the forums in the past that do not have access to the Cabana or someone feels they have been an active contributor and feels excluded, PM me and I’ll manually adjust your permissions.

I haven’t followed all the ins and outs on the review site but one thing you stated doesn’t apply to rates on Rentmen in Canada. The rates are displayed on their pages if they wish, both in out and overnight too. Or they can opt for Ask.

Full disclosure: I used to ride horses. Now I just ride escorts.

I just read in the times Broadway will open in September, according to Cuomo.

I’ve heard Heaven will cost you millions in air miles. Hell on the other hand is dirt cheap.

Not only are those super thick dicks hard to take in the ass, they are impossible to deepthroat. You have to lick them like an ice cream cone.

The main consideration I think is that you just don’t start up live theatre by turning on a switch, like you do running films in a theatre. The cast needs to rehearse, once you find a cast. I just left the board of a live theatre company and most of the cast we had hired in 2019 for the 2020 season, who got cancelled but given the option to return, did not want to come back in 2021 as they have moved on to other employment opportunities. And even now, 2021 is looking iffy.
 
Also, theatre owners are going to have to figure out how they are going to operate under the new “normal”.

I think he's referring to it's thickness. The length is certainly manageable, but that circumference looks huge. ?? Some people's holes just don't stretch that wide. ?

I should clarify that it was the Federal health advisory body on vaccinations that reported yesterday that the mRNA vaccines were superior to the viral based ones (Astra Zeneca and J&J) because of what they termed a "signal safety concern" with the latter. This of course alluded to the rare cases of blood clots, which have caused at least one death of a 54 year old woman in Quebec and a few dozen of blood clots that others have recovered from.
 
Canada has not administered any of the J&J vaccines it has on hand and continues to give the Astra Zeneca doses, including to the Prime Minister and his wife who received theirs a week ago. Needless to say this has caused an uproar in Canada.
 
In reality, the only vaccines arriving currently from abroad, including now from the US, are the mRNA vaccines. India has ceased shipments of the AZ vaccine, which was a major supplier previously because of their own emergency, and the US only supplied one shipment under a loan agreement last month, despite the fact they have not administered any of the stockpile they have of the vaccine to date.
 
While Canada contracted more J&J vaccines, they have not shipped any more and the current unused supply in Canada is under embargo because one of the ingredients in it was from the Baltimore facility that is now closed down, Emergent, because of contamination issues.
 
At this point it appears to me that Pfizer is the standout vaccine for Canada, because Moderna has been plagued by supply and delivery issues from the outset, and Pfizer has overcome their difficulties in February when they were overhauling their manufacturing facilities to meet the unprecedented global demand.
 
I heard on the CBC today that Pfizer has single handedly redeemed the reputation of the pharmaceutical industry which has been under a cloud for several decades. Why that sentiment struck me rather oddly is that the industry did come through in the last major epidemic that killed a lot more people than COVID19 to date, namely HIV/AIDS, with their development of effective drugs to treat the disease.
 
Oh well, people have short memories, I guess.
