| Quiet part out loud: One or more thin-skinned criminals within
| the US government are likely to abuse the power of their
| offices to illegally harm the company in revenge.
|
| _P.S.:_ ... And some people imagine that outcome, and their
| reaction is _intense laughter_ , rather than disgusted anger.

| Seems to me a reaction to the US making itself their enemy.

| I think we're making everyone our enemy...

| Considering the US administration's childish choices yesterday,
| what do we expect? Hugs?

| Okay let's take a deep breath and read slowly:
|
| - Russia attacked Ukraine
|
| - The US is making enemies out of ex allies
|
| Not the other way around. It seems difficult to understand for
| americans, for some reason, but the order of the words does
| matter.

| Trump administration is weakening the US in ways and with speed

| And a Norwegian cafe renamed one of their dishes [edit: American
| pancakes] to "Canadian pancakes"!
|
| Reminds me of "Freedom Fries"...
| duxup wrote:
| Were they American pancakes before?
|
| Serious question, I just call pancakes, pancakes....
| dagss wrote:
| Ah right, I guess that name for them is Norwegian/European.
|
| Around here, "American pancakes" are about 1 cm (1/2 inch)
| thick and the size of a hand. Contains baking soda
|
| "Pancakes" are larger, the size of a plate, and much thinner
| (a couple of mm). No baking soda. Like the French crepe but
| smaller diameter.
|
| They taste quite differently.

| Being canadian, you just described different styles of
| pancakes that we just call all pancakes.
|
| Thin, thick, size of a plate, sand dollar size, size of
| your hands... just all called simply pancakes.
|
| I find the thick ones not good.
|
| Theres a chain of big pancakes size of plate restaurants
| called dedutch pannekoek house, or just dedutch.

| But if you go to a cafe and order pancakes how do you

|
| A simply unacceptable gamble in my mind! Imagine looking
| forward to a normal pancake and getting a rubbery
| American one popped infront of you.

| FWIW you can get pancakes 1cm thick in both the size of a
| hand and the size of a plate in the US. When they're the
| size of a plate you usually get a couple just stacked on
| top of each other. Source: I am American.
