Not all foreigners are criminals. But all members of a gang are gang members.

Isn't it illegal in US, to be a member of an organization that has an obviously criminal purpose and/or obviously criminal methods?

What is the odds that court is where you go?

There's so many other outcomes I keep hearing about in your news, but I don't know the odds.

Yes, except tinfoil is also bad for the environment, it's just that plastic is what's getting attention these days.

Once upon a time it was like that. I don't remember which decade I saw that last.

I remember this. From the 90's.

Autosave has existed AND been the default so long that taking it for granted is now actually okay.

This is not related cloud storage or corporates spying on users. It's just autosave. That's all it takes.

This might interest you: In Danish grammar we have two genders. Not male and female, but common and neutral. Male, female and anything between is common gender. Everything else is neutral gender.

The problem is the exceptions. There's just too many exceptions.

Man, woman, boy, girl, they are all common gender. Child is neutral gender. Baby us common gender.

Dog, cat and pig are common gender, wild boar is neutral gender.

A door is common gender, a door handle is neutral.

Whyyy...

Then represent the person like that, but not worse.

Plenty of people in history is presented as pure bad, but reality is more complex.

For example, we know Adolf Hitler as one of the worst people in history (at least here where I live). But he did a lot of good for Germany. At the time, this is what he was known for, and that is why he was popular enough to be democratically elected.

But if we only know him as a purely bad person, we will not recognize the next Hitler before it's too late. We will see a person doing good stuff, but with signs that too many people will ignore.

There's also the idea that when you do good, you deserve to be recognized for that, no matter what else you've done. Not just because it's the right thing to do, but also to encourage more of that.

Your magnet isn't strong enough, or maybe there's a problem with the surface of the scraper bit. Different thickness of glass requires different strength of magnets.

Mine is too strong, I wrap the handle in cloth to increase the distance.

My scraper takes algae very easily, but mineral deposits seems to require a blade.

If I want to call MY doctor, a specific person, then no I can't.

If I want A doctor, then yes, I can just call. Any time 24/7, I can talk to someone. Worst case, it's a nurse.

And I don't have to be rich, it's free.

Argh, that sucks.

So why can't I read them for free too?

I can. Don't you have libraries in your country?

I was told that the trick is to not have the egg in its shell.

Take a cup, fill it one third with water, then crack your egg in the cup. Now it can't build up pressure, it can't explode.

It microwaved without exploding. As I took it out of the microwave, it exploded. It went everywhere. The floor, the ceiling, every cabinet door. I count myself lucky that I didn't get boiling hot egg in my eyes.

Also, the noise attracted attention from everybody in the house, no way to just discretely clean it up before anyone noticed my stupid experiment.
