The name shāwarmā in Arabic is a rendering of the term çevirme in Ottoman Turkish (چيويرمى [tʃeviɾˈme], lit. 'turning; hence, roughly synonymous to döner in this context'), referring to rotisserie.>

So maybe it depends whose version of shawarma you've had. All the ones I've seen so far (in different European countries) have been with rotisserie /doner kebab.

Names seem interchangeable in many places, in my experience. When I was a kid the difference between kebab and shawarma used to be that one was in a bun and the other was a wrap, for some reason. The bun has been phased out, unfortunately, and now it's only wraps everywhere.

I thought the beard was the only important part. What does built like a cult leader mean?

Might be something else. I'm also using boost and there's no issues here.

He reminded me of Jon Favreau. Or David Zayas

Thanks again for these, fun read as always. Really sucks to hear about the health stuff. Rooting for you to get good news from the specialist!

Oh, you're right, I missed that part. Shit.

Time spent riding during missions has never felt like fluff to me. As it's usually filled up with dialogue and stuff. Plus the nature and views and stuff are relaxing.

For the in-between missions riding you can just get one of those cheat menu mods and use the teleport feature.

Which is why I suggested using cheats to make the game easier.

Overrated in the sense that it's not a top 30 movie? Yeah, I can definitely pick at least 50 films that I think are better. It was definitely a good film, tho. Been a long time so I don't remember specifics, but I don't remember it feeling like multiple films stitched together or anything. And even if it did, it could be argued that it's an artistic decision? Since it shows different times in their lives. Hell, for most people Sunday 29th vs Monday 30th can make two vastly different movies.

Then again, I'm not that picky about movies nor am I much of a critic so I don't really know what I'm talking about xD

Definitely. Thought I put it there, but guess not.

Not American. Also, assumed that was on top of the ones from the contract. Being forced to use 10 days of my vacation time when they want me to isn't much of a bonus.

And yeah, I guess being given the option of cash vs switch would be cool, but when the bonus is 7.5k + 2 weeks off + more bonuses announced for later on, it feels a bit shit to complain about a free switch. Especially when you can just sell it to get the money.
