Yeah, I do. I’m really lazy and need some pressure to get going. It also gives me this nice kind of thrill and clarity. I also really enjoyed doing exams and tests in school and at uni.
That being said, I don’t think I could deal with a constant pressure. Every now and then is nice to get this thrill and to get validation when doing well. But under constant pressure I would burn out quicker than a barn doused in gasoline.
From the line “Never gonna run around and desert you” we can gather that when a relationship came to an end, the person ending the relationship would run around frantically and burn all possessions of their former partner, thus turning their property into a desert, or “deserting” them.
In a few thousand years…
“We finally deciphered the text on it. It’s a monument to love, to undying loyalty and affection! How amazing! Here, it reads: ‘Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down’”
It should be a very short glance though…
If you’re anywhere in North America
I am not and every argument in this thread seems to assume I am and argues with some rules in the US or Canada. This was exactly my point. The situation seems to be wildly different than my experience.
I don’t think you live where I live. Because where I live there is just no room to build many more houses without demolishing other houses first. There is a lot of discussion about moving away from single-family houses and increasing the density of living space. I don’t see how this would be solved by making it easier to build.
ETA: Just to be clear, I absolutely am not advocating for deporting immigrants.
In my experience mathematicians don’t really concern themselves with numbers between 2 and infinity.
I love that this guy decided that GitHub is the place to share his socio-economic essay. Next to a guy who used it for his sourdough guides my favourite use of GitHub yet.
This is a few years old but still a good visualisation:

Coffee can reduce how much iron get’s absorbed. This doesn’t have anything to do with the caffeine and the resulting stimulation though, but with something in the coffee binding the receptors or something like that. Don’t know if this happens with other nutrients as well.
Mostly puffing up their feathers. On warm days they are suddenly smaller again.
In Germany marital rape is punished in the same way as any other rape since 1997 (which to me always seemed horrifically late). But one of the guys who voted against it is his party’s candidate for the post of Chancellor in the election next year.
Maybe we are not as far beyond these misogynistic worldviews as we like to believe.
In my experience what happens is you look at each other confusedly for a moment, wondering who is in the wrong restroom. Then you realise there are no urinals so it’s probably the women’s restroom. Then the man leaves a bit embarrassed. Source: Happened to me at least twice (once the signs were really unclear).
8 hours in theory. Let’s not forget it has to cross a large part of Germany. I’m sure Deutsche Bahn will work its magic and suddenly it’s 16 hours with four unplanned stops and five hours of uncertainty as to whether you will ever arrive at all.
I’m not from the US and while, thanks to the internet, I probably know more about Trump’s scandals and crimes than is necessary or reasonable for anyone only indirectly affected by his actions, I’m sure I’ve only scratched the surface. Especially since, as you said, you really have to put in an effort to keep track of all of them.
So I’m just observing from afar and constantly amazed by every new detail I stumble upon.
Trump initially avoided any comment about the Bonwit Teller artwork. But John Baron, a spokesperson with the Trump Organization, contacted the New York Daily News to discuss the situation. Baron informed the Daily News that “the merit of the stones was not great enough to justify the effort to save them.” Baron stated that the removal process could have set back Trump Tower’s construction timeline by two weeks. Baron also told the New York Times that he had no idea what happened to the ornate grillwork.
Long after Baron’s initial contact, the New York Daily News learned that John Baron was actually Donald Trump, in disguise.
WTF?
Just carry one around with you and whenever something important happens or you are about to do something risky, pull it out, press it with your finger and loudly say “Save”.

Edit 2: I really should read all the replies before starting to type.
I’ve recently learned about bourdaloues. I wonder how many of them had a second life as a gravy boat.
