Yes. The American Falls as viewed from Canada, specifically.

Glad you like them. Many more coming

Nice. You got it!

I think boot (you could also say bonnet/hood, lift/elevator, etc), pants, and knob all do have the same meaning between US and UK, they just have additional slang meanings, but those slang meanings are based on their real meanings.

Chips and Biscuit are better examples of having truly different meaning IMO.

Most/many evangelicals are anti-Semitic. They support action like this because they think it is completing prophecy and will help bring about Armageddon and Jesus’s return (that’s to really bad, cherry-picked readings of their own scriptures)

It’s disappointing how much they cut out of his personal journey and replaced it with long sections of goofy gags. Those were ok, but not at the expense of character development. It did still feel indulgent in how long some scenes went.

Overall a good movie though. Just not as awesome an adaptation as The Martian was

Crazy to me that were producing about as many $10s as $2s. I never see $2s in circulation and run into $10s quite often

That’s basically what Amazon did. They did it even worse: they sold many things below cost. They ran their entire business burning cash for a long time (surviving off money raised from investors and later from going public and selling stock), driving other book stores out of business. Once they had enough market share and less competition, they negotiated tougher deals with publishers for lower costs and raised their prices to be at least a little profitable (they still sell some things loss-leader and many things at cost).

Edit: publishers, not punishers!

You know very different rich people than I do.

I still love the interpretation of this event from the short “Troops” (parody of the old “Cops” TV show) https://youtu.be/5HO70-Rk3jE

Oh, I’m not saying voting is the only thing we can do. Not by a long shot. It’s just the most impactful.

I feel that.

But just to say it: Because it’s still the right thing to do, and if we didn’t, it would just be that much worse.

There’s no denying the best thing people can do for the planet isn’t recycling, etc - it’s voting.

I grew up a middle class kid in the rich suburbs. That’s so realistic and common it’s practically cliche.

The only realistic part is the rich parents not making the kid out when it really came down to it. You don’t hear about it more because Rich parents get their kids out of drug issues and DUIs like the rest of us run errands on a Tuesday night.

Backmarket will buy it from you and resell it. Just bought an iPhone 13 for my 16 year old. Lots of life left in “old” devices

Considering he’s dead, probably not much.

All the stuff in the USA named after Von Braun doesn’t surprise me.

Really interesting to see all the stuff named after Philippe Pétain in the USA. Looks like it was banned after him in the 1920s-1930s due to his role for France/allies in WWI. Then he became a Nazi collaborator later.

Good reminder of why you shouldn’t name things after people who are still alive.

Tom Wilson has history. Known to be an ‘on the edge’ player, physically.

Yup. I have The Clash song stuck in my head now.

I meant the brand more than the person.

I mean… Hugo Boss would take issue with not dressing to impress. But I guess even then it’s understated by fashion standards.
