Where I'm from, the hyperbole would go "You'll get punched."

You made me laugh in the middle of a pretty shitty day. Thank you.

It took me a while to understand what you meant because we don't write anything on our ballots. There are piles of small cards with one candidate (or list) on each, we (are supposed to) pick one of each and put one in the envelope.
But yeah, I agree with your take.

It was common in France until my dad's childhood, in the 60s. There were commercials for Ricoré (half coffee, half chickory) in the 80s. AFAIK, you can still buy it in all supermarkets.

France. I fear I'd be driven out of town.

Oh thanks. I've come across the name, never seen one. TIL.

What is it? An ugly ham? A weird champagne flute? I'm lost.

I had no idea. Thanks for explaining!

What's the story here please? I'm out of the loop. Why is he expected to register? Most young Americans don't, right?

I had that exact same model 15 years ago. It got stolen and I'm still not over it. I got basic Kobo readers instead; they work fine with Calibre and any ebook you can get. I don't touch Amazon with a ten-foot pole, and I never use the Kobo account you have to create when buying the device.

But I'd give somebody's left arm to have the Sony back. It was perfect.
