Can someone translate the cover of tomorrow's Der Spiegel for me?
I mean, »Der Doppelregent« is a pretty clever pun, but what does the tagline say?
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Er, I'm pretty sure that's an EXTREMELY dirty innuendo, because the verb "stecken" literally means "to plug". So.
(I had to double-check the verb, because I was going on my college German. But I'm pretty sure it implies what it sounds like it implies.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey Californians! Did you know that "if it's yellow, let it mellow" can damage your toilet? I did not.* And now I'm going to be $900 poorer. OTOH I think I will be getting a low-flow toilet.
Huh! I was literally just thinking I could let it mellow now that I don't have a pet who likes to drink out of the toilet. (I realize I could have closed the lid all along.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I wish we had our old toilet back. The one we have now is practically identical, but it's missing a great feature. It's low-flow, a bit taller for when we find it difficulter to get down and up from the seat. And the previous one had two flushes, one regular for um, solids, and a half-flush for liquids only.

The two-flush really seems like the best idea to me. But I am not a toiletician.

You don't have a PhD in Flushotometry?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have never found the two-flush toilets to work really well. But my experience has a small sample size.
Did y'all get appreciated today? It's Employee Appreciation Day. Or maybe yesterday was. In any case, we got lunch (pizza) and going home early, which is pretty nice!

I have a low-flush toilet, you have to hold the handle down in cases where it takes some times to process all input. I learned the hard way that yes, you have to hold the handle down, the default is not long enough.
