You would be uncomfortable to the point you feel to have to open a window to get fresh air, and after a few seconds the CO2 would be vented outside.

Well it's obviously more difficult to sanction the most powerful country in the world than a much poorer country like Russia. And there is much less reason to do so when you aren't being threatened yourself. It seems to me complet

This sounds like hell but it's also infinitely different from how it works here (in Western Europe, but I'd assume it's different from almost anywhere but the US). Also, pharmaceutical ads are forbidden here, and antibiotics

Salt crystals, I only eat this kind of butter. But then I come from a department next to Brittany (and the local salt also has crystals and is cheaper than that from Brittany). Apparently it's really a local thing because I have never

For what it's worth, I managed to get whitelisted by Microsoft a few months ago after... 15 years of undeliverability or so. I followed the process, and then kept insisting a bit by answering the emails saying they were not going to do

Aren't the devices ultimately paid by the parents anyway, though? I guess it depends on how the school is funded but around here it's only private schools that provide devices, so the funds come from the parents.

I used to stay up all night to read, too late for my own good and my parents eventually started taking away every light source at 10pm or so (that's when I was less than 11, so it was really late enough). I ended up collecting toys tha

Not really, but it's not very different. You just drive to the train, park on the train and drive off the train when it stops. I haven't been to England for a long time but when I did I was simply calling it driving to England.
