It’s a variation of the observation that you can make the most ridiculous statement imaginable, and people will believe it as long as you add, “in Japan” to the end.
Example: “Local governments erect defenses against giant monsters, in Japan.”
I’m not sure I understand what you are saying. When the temperature drops below about -20°C, our heat pump stops working and the system switches over automatically to pure electric heat. It makes our electricity bill triple. Fortunately, that doesn’t happen very often.
I assume they mentioned his height because flying economy would be quite inconvenient and uncomfortable for someone that tall. It would be easy for him to say he has to fly business class just so his legs can fit in the seat.
I don’t understand your post. Are you telling us how special you are because you’ve visited many European countries? Are you saying that you are not like other Americans because you can name these countries? Why do you think it’s important for us to know this information?
And since the dogma of infallibility was proclaimed close to 200 years ago, there have only been two instances it has been invoked.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Saudi Arabia gave the United States military permission to use its air bases for direct attacks on iran.
It looks like cruise ships [are significantly worse](epn07501.pdf https://share.google/fD7gRD431iLtVZbUU) than airplanes. About four times more fuel.
Ah, okay.
It probably doesn’t help that the last person she wants to talk to is her husband.
Based on what I know of cruise ships, I would bet that an ocean liner across the Atlantic wood burn even more fuel than a plane for the same number of people.
Rough calculation indicates that it would take about 3,000 gallons of fuel per person to go across the Atlantic.
It seems like an eternity ego that someone (Colbert?) coined the phrase, “reality has a distinctly liberal bias”.
Please let me know when the bullet train across the Atlantic and Pacific gets finished.
From what I understand, no one fucks with the [Swiss Guards](Swiss Guard - Wikipedia https://share.google/5fRPr5bS1TEYL0UVh) at the Vatican. They are very highly trained soldiers, albeit dressed in silly costumes when in view of the tourists.
At the circus, I would assume that they had a contract allowing them to use the music, but it also required them to make their best efforts not to allow recording.
Their best effort, of course, was to ask people not to record, and then they didn’t need to bother doing anything else.
Do you mean aside from hosting American planes, missiles, soldiers, intelligence, and ships, all of which were used to attack Iran?
I guess that’s what I get for learning French during the age of typewriters (my formal French education ended in 1981 and I’ve only spoken --never written-- it since then).
I already speak English, French, German, Sesotho and Japanese. Do they count? I have also taught ESL and married a Japanese woman. I know something about accents and fluency.
The whole picture looks bad, like an AI rendering from several years ago.
I don’t remember if German rules are the same as French, but in French you don’t need to include accents when something is written in capital letters.
In my experience, Japanese baking tends to look perfect but fall very short on flavor and texture.
They also generally like things less sweet and less rich (i.e. butter, cream) than westerners and cheese is not even worth the calories.
I’m pretty sure I heard the term “muff diving” in high school in the 1970s.
