Maybe we should chip in and buy a second robot.

Hear me out: three robots.

shit down the government

I don't know if this was a typo, but it's rather appropriate either way.

It says there are no videos in the playlist.

The videos are there for me. Maybe you're in a region where they're blocked?

Where's a good place to start? Is there some overarching narrative or can you read them in any order?

While there are myriad reading orders that have been devised over the years, my method with long extended series such as this one is simple: I consume them in the order in which they were produced/released.

Now I can't read that without hearing Avery Brooks' voice.

You don't actually give the card to the employees, do you?

Typically when I go through a drive thru, I hand my card to someone who then leans back inside to swipe/tap/whatever it, then they hand it back. So yes, commonly I do give my card to an employee for at least a few seconds.

During 2020-2022 more of them were in the habit of placing the PIN pad at the window so it could be reached by customers from their cars, but it wasn't designed to be used that way and I'm sure it caused other issues.

She was a Scottish immigrant and her son is first-generation Scottish-American on her side.

I think the person above you is using the US Census Bureau definition of generations, which is that the first gen is the immigrant themselves, second gen their children. That's how I've always understood it.

Gotta imagine that ladder was covered in ice for much of the year.

Assuming this is in fact in Chernivtsi, as the post title says, it's not too bad there. Mean temp falls below freezing for three months out of the year.

Still, probably not fun to climb when there is ice...

Dinner time would be around 0.7083 o-clock.

This is fairly similar to .beat time; in that system you would write it as @708. I guess you could make it @708.3 to be more specific.
