Plenty. I have had people tell me I am inhumane for criticising tipping culture, and if I point out it is related to the extreme class system and slavery history of America they downvote me to hell and try to justify that it is “land of tha free” or whatever.
They don’t even have freedom from hunger or illness in their messed up country.
Yes, if it had been in Australia. Report it when you see it.
Have you not played Dwarf Fortress? Frame rate goes way down, a situation imperceptible to the dorfs. Then eventually the operator of the machine looses interest, or a oandemic makes the pop count drop, or a combo of those.
Edit; You should read some Greg Egan if you’re into this question.
I have seen classical guitars that do, not unlike a cello, but cannot steer you at a specific brand.
I do, and he reads them days later and apologises.
Now that he is overseas on a business trip he reads them all immediately, but apparently in-house is not an option.
I was using a thimble when I did that. The needle popped through the thin metal of the thimble, through my finger, and hit the inside of the thimble on the other side. I couldn’t remove the thimble, I tried but the needle was locking it on my finger. I had to pull the needle out through my finger, then remove, by which time the thimble was full of blood…
Just because he can see X-rays (or other radiation) doesn’t mean his eyes emit the X-rays.
…Seen it happen when a favoured teacher at a school I worked at got his car keyed. The students worked out who keyed it, and all hell broke loose…
Well, I doubt they plan to ever buy HP again.
Yep, yanks tend to think they can just police everyone into doing it their way.
Over(head) for (the duration of) dinner (well, part of it anyhow).
Aussie checking in, similar situation. I remember there used to be one at the hungry jacks facing the customers, and it always had puddles of liquid on the ground. Perhaps that’s why it was discontinued.
They’re not on the American Style Burger places any more, but Ikea in Sydney has customer-controlled fizzy drink fountains.
Similar to Memrise, which was really fun when you could make your own mems using imagesearch and customise everything… And now is a rubbish duolingo clone.
Theyrealmost all just their faces.
The public school uniforms are heavily subsidised and students parents tend to buy them for them. If a family member cannot afford one, for whatever reason, they can have a confidential meeting with a yearmaster and the school will buy it for them (it’s the same uniform, the school just sends someone out to the uniform shop to buy a uniform of the correct size), but that rarely happens, as it is cheaper than buying the kid a shirt and shorts that aren’t a uniform. A lot of kids just live in their uniform weekdays, as they’re cheap hard-wearing clothes the parents don’t have to pay as much for.
No idea about private schools, but they’re probably richer families, I guess.
Here in Australia school uniforms are compulsory for public (gov run) primary and high schools, and usually in private schools. Students wear a uniform to school from age 5 to 18. They are thought to place everyone, rich and poor, on the same level. They are definitely not political. How odd to think what a 10 year old wears to school is a political statement!
If your plug is not plugged in completely flush with the wall power point so a penny (or etc) can fit between the plug and powerpoint and yet the power can get through, then there is something very wrong.
No one seems to be paying much attention to it.
Rental cars are incredibly expensive in some states. If I wanted to rent one in Tasmania for ten days, it would have been cheaper to buy a car and abandon it than rent one. Less of a problem at home in NSW.
Had to do a flame test to identify old fuel for recycling.
Made blue dye from indigo, and red and orange dye from madder, mixing in alum and other things. Making blue is amazing, it comes out green then changes colour all at once. Get the mix wrong and you get the wrong colour… Also we boiled one batch of madder and got orange instead of scarlet, so even the temperature had to be regulated.
Most recently, been making etched plates from the inside of soft drink cans, etching with copper sulfate (they sell it in Bunnings as a fertiliser). Lots of fun!
So yeah mostly art projects.
That said even baking a cake is pretty fancy chemistry.
