I'd like to put a word in for the early morning walk. Before the streets are crowded and all business is happening. There will still be a interesting activity to observe as the city wakes up and begins preparation for the new day. Mayb

Users of modern systems obviously fail with the context problem. The translators of many websites either didn't know or didn't care whether "comment" and "reply" were used as nouns or verbs, just to take a real

That's just how I remember how it went. Up until then, everything just flowed without any big problems.

I wrote an interpreter on a whim a long time ago. Mainly to show a friend how quick it was to get something going. I continued working on it, had great fun. Until I got to quasiquoting. That's where my head started spinning and I lost

You don't have to listen to what the parties are saying. Look at what they are doing. Consider the change in the amount and type of arms sent in support to Ukraine over the course of the war. I think that reflects a change in the true

"When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below". That's all I have managed to memorize about temperature conversion so far in my life.

I thought terrorists had done the "check your bag and don't board" thing enough for it to be disallowed. But maybe this story took place a long time ago?

Le Corbusier actually made plans for Stockholm as well. They were even worse. The whole Old Town of Stockholm as well as great parts of Norrmalm and Södermalm would have been lost. The raisinf of the old Klara and the related "moderniz

Presumably the invaders did not bring their own crew for the plant along. The crew is still there and have communicated about the lost power.

People do all sorts of things to "be healthy". That's great, if they are doing it to have a better life. But I get the impression some are doing it in an attempt to overcome death.

I think there are many unspoken assumptions behind this question. Maybe you should begin your inquiries there.

Nothing. I used to think breakfast was essential. Turns out it's just another habit. Two good meals a day is perfectly fine. I also hate the feeling of going to the gym on a full stomach. Working out around ten am or so works great.

They did of course not wire the money directly to North Korea. It was a multi-step process of money laundering, involving currency exchanges, cash and casinos, in several jurisdictions. Every authority along the way must be on board with th

You have the story wrong. There is no searchable database of DNA. There are only blood samples from newborns. The police wanted access to the sample of a single suspect. The straightforward thing to do would of course have been to get a sam

I'm guessing it's a language issue. Might be a cognate word of elite with different connotations in OP's first language.

Skateboard is of course twice removed from (ice) skates, with roller skates as an intermediary step. I guess it's pure coincidence that we don't call snowboarding "snowskating".

Having n way to answer "why shouldn't I..." for yourself is no small thing. Don't take it lightly. Many people are incapable of defending themselves. Why shouldn't you...?

(Slovakia is a Central European country, far from Baltic.) But all three of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania also have pretty flat tax rates I believe. Not sure about deductions and other details.

"Building schools" always sounds dumb or even scammy to me. What is a school building, really? Surely running a school is the hard part (assuming the students can afford to go to school to begin with). Am I wrong about this? Are t

Cheques are an anachronism. I think I remember seeing my mother write a cheque some thirty years ago. I have never written or received one myself. I doubt I know anyone under fifty who has. Unless they've lived in the US, of course.

There are real, hard problems worth discussing at the root of all this. Extending lists of taboo words, however, is really easy. Judging if somebody uttered a taboo word is easy. Let's just all focus on the taboo words and pretend ther
