I was annoyed that to get the safety features on the car I wanted, I had to get a configuration with a touchscreen (ironic, I know). However, once I took it for a test drive, I was relieved to find that almost every button I want to press w

A bit of clarification, this isn't according to Wikipedia , but to those sources cited in the references [20], [21], etc. Wikipedia isn't a source in and of itself, but a good Wikipedia article will be well sourced.

The answer is easy. Don't buy crazy expensive tickets. I think this is a knock on effect of wealth inequality. People on here are talking about buying $700 tickets. My first thought is that the price sounds insane, but my second thou

humanity doesn't build beautiful things anymore There was a time when architecture was the height of showing off, showing off skill, artistry, etc. I think we build beautiful things today, but they aren't necessarily buildings.

Yes, I've been in many Western homes, but never one without a hood over the stove. Perhaps it is a hasty generalization to assume they don't have hoods. Adequacy of the hood seems like it's not going to be usefully quantifiab

From the perspective that "only" can mean only one, sole, etc., this is still the correct usage of the idiom "one of the only". Idioms don't match the literal meanings of the words that make them up. Even if unsure,
