Sorry, I misread your comment.

Also, they have excellent music.

Apart from Denmark. I know only one band from there.

Thank you for your insightful reply.

I also found this: https://www.citizensforethics.org/news/analysis/trumps-politicization-of-the-u-s-marshals-service-is-a-threat-to-our-democracy/

It says that one of the primary functions of the US Marshals Service is to carry out judicial orders, but it reports to the president. This looks like a flaw to me.

Sorry, I’m a foreigner and I don’t understand much. Someone cares to explain? Should the police normally enforce judicial orders and sentences? Why do they not? Is the police personally loyal to Trump?

It’s a gnome foot though.

Nice. In what year(s) did you have your first computer?

So it’s fine for a culture to pretend to have invented something or take something as their own as long as that something is from a culture that happens to be in the same country?

To me, that’s cultural appropriation, no matter whether it happens within the same country or not.

As a Quebecois, I like that Canadians like poutine. I don’t like that they pretend they have invented it. I also like that they like maple syrup and the traditions surrounding it (cabane à sucre). I don’t like that they appropriate it as a thing of their own (we produce 90% of global maple syrup).

Sméagol is from a race that was closely related to hobbits, but not exactly hobbits.

It’s possible she intended to use it for something else, such as scrapping food from dishes (sounds like a bad idea, but at least it’s safe hygiene-wise)

I was living with about 10k CAD/y for a few years when I was single and I was mostly fine.

Granted, this was in the 2010s. And of course I wasn’t in Manhattan, as you can guess by the currency.

Now, I’m making about 70k CAD with a family (sole provider) and I’m just staying afloat.

Emphasis on “heritage”.

La Maison du Père costs 1 dollar a night, and they’ll let you in if you explain that you can’t pay the $1.

Some just don’t like shelters. They don’t like the rules, other people, or fear getting their stuff stolen.

I take their comment as a play on words.

Doesn’t “men and boys” have exactly the same meaning though?

I don’t feel deshumanized for being called a male.

Disclaimer: I don’t use the noun “female” because I know some find it offensive.

To clarify, Native Americans are not humans.

(Joking)

I don’t know, I don’t think of sex as chilling. Just like I don’t see sport as chilling. Chilling should be more calm and less purpose-driven.

Pasteurization is even below what most would consider as cooking temperature. It’s getting your food really hot for a while but not boiling. It’s kind of like edging but in cooking.

Can you even destroy minerals by heat? If there’s an element there it won’t go away. Though I guess the molecule could change and it could be less bioavailable.
