Concealer, thrice's dropping another album in sept. I'm so excited!
I've been listening to them since illusion of safety/artist in the ambulance and I've loved just about everything by them (never got into alchemy index but also haven't listened to that series much).
Also... This. Album. Is. Incredible.
One man show.

Saw Gaslight Anthem, Thrice, and Rise Against. I was front row, standing room only at the Fillmore. Which recently went through a renovation. It's beautiful.

And, it's only $4, with endless salad, fries and fresh wafer thin flat bread.
Because our money took a nose dive against the $ over the past few weeks and also because our economy is crashing in a spectacular way.

On this plus side, this means that all of the retaliatory tariffs that your government is imposing on its steel exports don't really matter here in the US.
On the minus side, I sympathize with the fact that you're building a new engine right now, and having to import most of the goodies.
Historical photo of JasonC's great-grandfather going to the store to buy a loaf of bread, during the gold-standard era:

Serious question:
It's always been my understanding that they are supposed to carve the doner in a spiral fashion, such that it remains roughly cylindrical and merely decreases in diameter as it goes, such that the meat being removed at any given time is always that which has the most char on it. Is this not, in fact, the actual custom in the homeland of this delicacy?

It happened after both wars, but the "wheelbarrow of money for a loaf of bread" pics all happened in 1918 and 1919. Collapse of the Weimar Republic at the close of the war triggered it.
Germany's economy was trashed by the end of WWII, but it was fairly quickly rectified by the allies providing food and materials to the conquered nation.

Honestly, I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to mock JasonC, and the gold standard had already been abolished in the US by the time of WWII, which is a closer parallel (economically, with regard to Germany) to the present-day situation in Turkey.
You guys and your music...
I saw these guys at a shitty little venue in the 90’s and it was pretty awesome.

Pork Al Pastor is done the same way. It was a product of a Lebanese immigration into Mexico who brought the idea with them, modeled on shawarma which was modeled on doner.
And if that's not a reason to allow free immigration, I don't know what is. Pork Al Pastor is ******* amazing and delicious.
DIstrict Taco here in the DC metro area makes an incredibly cromulent version of it.
And yes, that is pineapple.

Despite what most people think, you can eat really cheap in the UAE. This mixed grill was less than $10 (35 AED).
