Totally agree, but you really never know where would be insulated from everything

I mean surely in the 1930s Hawaii felt like an excellent place to be insulated from war…

I mean the best refute of it I’ve ever heard is that the date changes in the middle of the day, and that sounds miserable

Totally. But “down pat” and conversational are a bit different.

US ex pat here:

I agree with a big decision, but I strongly disagree with needing the language down pat before you go. You should know some for sure, and mostly have a willingness to learn it. You’re going to learn so much faster while there than you will studying in the US.

Just need enough language to get by at first

When I took a travel job in my early 20s I was handed some Canadian pins/luggage tags/etc for this exact reason.

I’m definitely still tempted to tell people I’m from Canada

You are what you eat

I have absolutely no idea. I wouldn’t know how to do it without a yellow card and that requires residence. Maybe there’s clinics?

It is. Come visit (but like be respectful please it’s nice)

Does… Does this person reach through the legs from the front?

And dont bring hair dryer!

COVID didn’t feel like it was going to change everything all at once at first to me. Lots of “2 weeks and it’ll be over” talk. Then reality slowly set it.

9/11 felt like all at once to me, same with the second Trump election. Like I woke up and things were different.

Jeg elsker dig for det

I have a Raspberry Pi 500 running PiOS that works well like a computer to just play things in browser. No ads or anything of course. But also no casting from a phone or anything

What’s wrong with “25 over 3?” I see the need for half 4 by itself but things being relative to that is so weird to me

Ugh okay here’s another “Danes shouldn’t be allowed to make number stuff”:

The time 15:25 is “five minutes before half 4”

“Fem minutter i halv fire”

So you round up to 16 before even halfway, what!?

Gas? It’s so much cheaper than the EU, even when it’s at its more expensive in the US

Look at the indent around the opening. On the shorter can it goes from wide to narrow at the back of the tab. It’s more of a straight line on the taller can

If I still worked where I used to I 100% would. No cans around me now :(

I guess I’m a bit rusty, so I am not sure at 355ml and the skinny profile if you can get a 202 end can, or have to use a 200

Hard to tell if it’s sleek or slim

Edit: Actually no, that’s a 200 not a 202. Look at the profile around the tab.

They do, but overall the can end (lid) is a LOT more aluminum than you expect and the whole rest of it isn’t as much as you expect.

So a little less lid is worth a fair bit more sidewall in terms of weight of aluminum
