Mine said she was leaving me because of my obsession with The Monkees. I didn’t believe her at first, but then I saw her face.

They have signs for every hazard, but i though by far the scariest read “Fire season is coming, do you have your escape plan prepared?”.

Imagine if we had national bodies developing drugs to treat health problems rather than private companies developing drugs to make as much money as possible.
Plus pushing formula milk in places where clean drinking water isn’t a given is pretty supportive of spreading disease in infants.
You should always signal to exit a roundabout after you pass the exit before the one you want to take. If you want to take the first exit, signal before you enter the roundabout. If you want to take the second exit, signal after you pass the first exit etc.
If you’re taking an exit more than 180 degrees around the circle from the entrance, you should signal the other direction to show that you are staying on the roundabout and then signal to leave after you pass the exit before the one you want. E.g. if you’re in a country where you drive on the right and the roundabout is on a traditional crossroad ‘+’ and you want to take the third (left) or fourth (u turn) exit then you should indicate left to start with and then indicate right to exit.
Note that this is what you should do. You will see drivers not signalling correctly in any country with roundabouts. The most common error is probably not indicating at all when going straight.
The argument of people being ‘better off’ now is that technology is better and more available. It is much cheaper to buy a big 4k flat panel tv now than a black and white tv with four channels and no remote back in the 50s. We have the Internet, smartphones, better health care, video games, music, streaming services, cheap air travel, food from all over the world, robot vacuum cleaners, air conditioning etc. etc.
What we don’t have so much of is cheap housing, good secure jobs, any reasonable degree of income equality etc.
Let’s say optimistically that you die at 70. That’s 30 years living on 300k, so 30k per year on rent, food, utilities and medical. You could live indoors for that amount in some parts of America in 2023. But what about in 2053? Inflation could have a huge impact on your cost of living and if you’re already living close to the bread line it’s hard to find savings anywhere. You could put your money in stocks but likewise you’re at the mercy of the market. It might be fine but if the market tanks when you’re 65 you could be in big trouble.
31% of the population of Switzerland are non-Swiss residents without voting rights.
Yes, that’s what hybrids are, a hybrid between an electric and combustion engine car, I.e. they have both.
There’s 5 years between elections unless the ruling party calls one early so a pm resigning doesn’t help but calling an election early and winning does. We’re still on the clock from Johnson’s 2019 landslide win - which he called 3 years early because they were way ahead in the polls. Truss and Sunak didn’t call early elections because they already had a big majority and would probably lose seats.
No it means instead of review bombing a game, you reinstall bomb it to cost the publisher a load of money.
Bristol to London is about 1hr20m, ok it’s 185km so a bit longer, but the cost of a peak time return is £252.80. So it could be worse if your country decided to privatise the rail services, a natural monopoly, while keeping infrastructure and strike costs public.
And since the school is in the middle of a residential neighborhood, there’s not really any other use of the sidewalks either…
As a European, this statement sounds completely insane. I honestly can not comprehend how a nation got to the point of saying “we don’t need to be able to walk somewhere from our house so lets not bother building sidewalks”.
You and your daughter should cycle to school though. If she’s not old enough to go on her own bike, take her with a trailer bike. If she’s too young for that then a child seat, and when she’s old enough she can cycle on her own.
The idea of using a car to go 900m is just crazy to us.
For a family of 5, a station wagon is more practical than an SUV or a truck. For a family of 6+, a minivan is the better choice. For people who need to haul a lot of stuff, a van is the best option. Americans just have an unhealthy obsession with massive vehicles and trucks. The only time an SUV or truck is the better option is when driving off-road. And that only applies to SUVs and trucks that are actually designed to be driven off-road, which is a small minority.
If you think the Falklands should be part of Argentina, logically Hawaii should be part of Kiribati. Alaska should be Russian/Canadian, etc etc. If you think about it for more than a minute it becomes clear that geographical location is not the only factor or even the most important one.
