The Cheap Talk of Emmanuel Macron Thu Mar 06, 2025 12:37 | Noah Carl
Macron claims that Russia is an ?existential threat? to Europe. Yet his actions belie this. France has given Ukraine 12 times less aid than Denmark. And it's still importing billions of euros of Russian energy.

The word picnic originates from the French piquenique, which came into use around the end of the 17th century. The word denoted a party to which everyone brought along some food. The notion of an outdoor meal did not emerge until the 19th century.
Fashionable people of the early 19th century England formed the Picnic Society for purposes of entertainment. Each member was expected to provide a share of the entertainment and of the refreshments. The idea of mutual sharing and
cooperation was fundamental to the original significance of the picnic. The concept of sharing food on an outdoor excursion, however, is not the invention of the French or the English. The Greeks held symposiums where guests ate and
discussed important matters.
The word picnic today includes almost every type of informal outdoor meal from barbecue to fish-fry.
Water is the best choice of drink because it quenches your thirst and keeps you hydrated. After lunch take a walk to stimulate your digestion and uplift your mood.
Food Safety
In order to avoid food poisoning or an upset stomach, you have to follow some basic rules.
¥ Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. Bacteria prefer temperatures between 50-125 degrees F.
¥ Prepare foods as close to picnic time as possible.
¥ Have plenty of ice for your cooler, especially if you go for a whole-day outing.
¥ Pack food in small airtight containers inside larger containers.
¥ Put foods in the cooler in the order opposite to using
them. Pack first the food you will use last.
¥ Take out the food only as you need it. Repack the containers and keep them in a shady spot.
¥ Don't leave food unattended. Creatures small and large can take a few or more bites. Beware of flies, wasps, squirrels. They are very good at finding food!
the picnic will be a blast. in case of rain we will storm the city, disarm the police and then go home and play chess or pingpong.
well, let's hope for the best.
viva la revolution, the bourgeois are quaking in their boots at the thought of anarchist picnics, i don't know which is worse this or socialist table quizes!
that at least 3 of the organizers will participate in the special olympics, but regardless of their efforts, the picnic will still be a fun way of hanging out with people, eating food and having a laugh.
and as for table quiz....
there's worse things than anarchist picnic and socialist table quiz, for example:
1. hanging around indymedia.ie and writing fairly boring slapstick/slapdick-kinda comments when people are doing shit.
yep, my mom is my dad.
Any betting people out there? Here's a tip.
You should go done the bookies and put a few bets on the special olympics. It doesn't matter who you back... They are all winners.
i hope that a swarm of killer bees come and smitten down you anarchoid scum.
i bet andrew flood will be on accusing sp and swp of setting leninist bees on their little anachro picnic.
hope it rains on you, you wasters!
