Headcanon: The wife and husband were supposed to be on this trip. The wife discovers the affair, the other woman explains that she didn't realise he was married. The wife leaves the husband and takes the other woman on the holiday instead.

I'm admit the term always used to baffle me too.
As a kid I could infer a lot of Americisms from the context, but it took me ages to pin down what 'bangs' were. The fact that it's plural is the weirdest part.
'Fringe' makes sense - you have fringed curtains, fringed jackets, etc. 'Bangs' seems like such an odd thing to call it - is each hair a bang?
If you're looking for shirts, I only feel comfortable wearing ones with french cuffs and would recommend them highly.
Normal cuffs irritate me no end, they're tight , they move and jab against my skin constantly.
French cuffs with nice solid cufflinks are looser, soft-edged, and have a nice weight to them that stops them moving so much.
I use ESUN PLA+ for printing minis and would recommend it to anyone.
For reference, the only filament I've used that came out nicer was SUNLU high-speed PLA, but would NOT recommend for minis (it can't cope with the constant retractions).
Oh, and also prime your models before painting them. I just use ordinary spray primer that you can get for dirt cheap - Tetrosyl Trade Spray / Hycote / Motip are all good brands. Just make sure you don't get gloss finish and you'll be fine!
Well if you really don't have a preference for one or the other, it might be worth keeping an eye on the future.
People's jobs, especially expensive jobs, are going to be replaced by software.
So ask yourself:
-
What does an accountant do that wouldn't be possible to automate in software?
-
What does a lawyer do that wouldn't be possible to automate in software?
-
What does a doctor do that wouldn't be possible to automate in software?
From where I'm sitting, medicine seems the safest bet.
Are most people who avoid turn signals do it to feel more normal? (Imitating their parents, avoiding perceived stupidity of using turn signals when it seems useless, etc)
They were doing so to find out which country you lived in, since you neglected to provide that information yourself.
I'm British, I charge my car at home, and on the few occasions I use public chargers, I interface with and pay for them through apps.
Knowing that you are from the US, though, means that YMMV. Your home electric supplies have significantly lower voltage than here in Europe, so home charging might be a less viable option.
They weren't being creepy, they were trying to give you a helpful answer.
A friend, originally Hungarian but speaks numerous languages describes English as "easy to speak, hard to write".
We really need a do-over with a better alphabet that allows a reader to know exactly how a word is said - one letter, one sound. Of course, I realise that it's far too late to work - even on our tiny island we can't agree on how words are pronounced.
Yes. Kind of. Probably.
What we have is an issue with terminology. The thing is, "white" only makes sense when specifically referring to human vision.
Our eyes have cells (cone cells) that are tuned to specific wavelengths in the EM spectrum. Three different wavelengths - one set of cone cells peak at 560nm that we see as Red, one at 530nm that we see as Green, and one at 420nm that we see as Blue.
"White" is just our interpretation of a strong signal in these three frequencies.
If, everything else being equal, our cones cells responded to higher wavelengths that our eyes can't currently see, then our "white" might easily be what we see as "red" now, because we'd be also seeing the infra-red that we're currently not.

This is a brilliant reply, thank you!
