you'll spit wine from your seven-ringed cup observing A WORLD OF BARGAINS and just call us zahhak when you see that our prices, like jamshid, are CUT IN HALF but act fast, much like persepolis THIS SALE WILL NOT LAST
post the fruit basket stand. i assume for twelve grand i am getting grape scissors?
the seychelles sells bank accounts by the sea shore, but isn't it a little more romantic to sell cloves and ylang-ylang out of a dhow (note: the comoros also has bank accounts)
i've never been to a comoro island but i have twice had the experience that more adventurous acquaintances will talk it up to me – the anjouan sultanate is undiscovered don't you know, that is the only thing we've all discovered about it – and then come back disappointed.
what are the comoros up to these days. ah, the perfume islands.
my father had the HP, the gerber, and the roland. each had its purpose and while i was taught to control them, seemed prone to program them straight into major accidents. in a fit of nostalgia i went out and bought a little stepper-controlled pen plotter myself, though it is for artistic experiments
pen plotters! if subscribing to a chartbook just won't do and you don't do it by hand (i find point and figure by hand meditative) you could buy the heinously expensive computrac (maintenance fees, dongle, and telephone or satellite data subscription not included) and control a pen by-wire
the convening authority of a network most viewers are watching muted. a space in which time and value take on a physics of a peculiar, particular environment.
i miss TK’s Surveillance, truly.
oh i truly *love* financial television. it is magic in every sense you wish. the people, their personas, what it means to read the news and what it means to be the news, how each of them sees their audience and what they understand their task to be.
TRUMP MULLS EXPORT CURBS, TAX WAIVERS TO CURB OIL PRICES
and you can collect them by colour, they come in wonderfully inconsistent colours. too numerous to name, until you bother to name them. or by the shape of hole punch, there are more than 30 different shapes and we are still finding more. or you can concern yourself with minute dots and scratches. ☺️
STOXX 600 WIPES OUT 2026 GAINS
as the impression is messy and they were used for a short period (1907-10) these are often described as a provisional of local manufacture and that simply is not true. these were ordered in from winnipeg – you couldn't lithograph anything in edmonton. the edmonton issue (1906-7) was typographed.
isn't that fantastic? and very important. now you just have to find 93 more.
of course, with a lithographed plate, every subject is different isn't it? the Zaluski catalogue has undertaken something more extensive. and for the 50-cent value under listing ABL21D4 we see described a "white dot below '0' in '50' at top right." and at right, there we see it don't we?
now if we look at Senator Calder's article from 1922, notice there is more to it than meets the eye. he lists defects in the numerals of value. and in Van Dam's reference manual from 1979, a few more – never made it into the catalogue, imagine – a few more. broken columns and faults in the text.
oh it's simply marvellous – and very important. let me show you how it is done. here are two copies of the second issue law stamp, lithographed by the bullman brothers in 1907. as you can see, one is the deep green shade and one is a more ordinary green.
given the sag in the cocoa market, at what price does adulterating the chocolate become uneconomical, i've no idea how that's done and what it costs
priced in ringgit, which is obviously part of the story. 4760 MYR for a metric ton, fill up your basement.
malaysian palm oil contracts huh
When you run out of plastic bags to store your extra gas, you can use styrofoam coolers
you understand so well what is wonderful about vertical video, i.e., it is ephemeral bullshit. so is all of life. why do this to yourself? enjoy life!
you are at a bar you will never darken the door of again. why not just *lie*, life should be easy, have a little fun
that’s right, identified 94 minor design varieties of the Second Issue Alberta Laws, spread across seven pages. how was your week-end?
oh isn’t this exciting
nothing wrong with going to a good school and then just being a bartender for a while, i know plenty of those people
mhmm, mhmm, but was *he* going to an independent school as there was no school in his municipality, or was he written up in his local paper as one of a small handful of local students commuting to that school in lieu of the public school (hint!)
perhaps the first person to out themselves as *reading* the globe and mail sports section
in which the turtle fence guy writes in to the globe and mail to complain about sports coverage
immanentizing the eschaton huh
