But from at least 2m / 6 freedom units, away, obviously.

An interesting conversation with Charlie "Black Mirror" Brooker.

^ I guess they are catering to the bi-measurement-system-curious. This is Marin, after all. What do you think gave you "Freedom Units"? The Imperial System, that's what. Do you think the UK went to all the trouble of Brexit, just to use the metric system, thanks to that little upstart Napoleon. I think not!

Went for a walk in the rolling hills outside Novato with Joanne and some Brit's. I think some biscuit induced climate change made it somewhat breezier than we were anticipating. Later we went to Costco where the shelves seemed to be picked almost clean. I made it out with one of the last 4 slabs of Diet Coke. They were sold out of rice. The staff said it had been like that all week with people stocking up on dried goods. I can't think why? /s https://projects.sfchronicle.com/2020/coronavirus-map/

Joanne and I recently finished Beforeigners It's a mismatched Cop Buddy Nordic Noir / Scandi Thriller with a novel world building twist. Given the initial premise, they play it pretty much straight, although it does allow them to have some fun with political correctness and multiculturalism in the world they have built. "And in the Tjuvholmen case, one of the main investigators is actually a true Viking.The criticism is unjustified.We have a policy on this show that we avoid using the V-word.- The V-word? - We prefer "of Norse descent".Right.Of course.My apologies" We enjoyed it. Be aware: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt8332130/parentalguide, or as they said in one episode. Similarly, Lars is shocked to find that his Stone Age neighbor lets his grade school son watch Game of Thrones, because who doesn't like violence and naked women? From the portmanteau Title to the linguistic stylings of the characters, plenty of depth to drag you into it. https://sciencenorway.no/history-language-media/creating-languages-of-the-past-for-hbos-beforeigners/1560670 Good review with some light spoilers but no reveals https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/02/review-time-travel-and-murder-combine-in-hbos-riveting-beforeigners-series/ And in case you missed something in the subtitles, don't worry, someone transcribed them for you. https://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/episode_scripts.php?tv-show=beforeigners-2019 Enjoy!
