To be clear, NATO had no role in the invasion of Iraq, but UK and some other NATO members were part of the coalition.

A shopping list on Google Keep has been a game changer. We have a shared list with my wife. Whenever we run out of something essential or need something, we add it to the list. Whenever one of us is in a grocery store, it's easy just to go through the list.

Said two things.

I didn't. The TL:DR of my response is that in my experience Americans don't presume that everyone speaks English.

I'd think that this sign is not there because of American tourists. All the Americans I've met while traveling, have acknowledged that English being their native language is a privilege and have been very polite towards people who don't speak English that well. But in Europe English has become the universal language and it's easy to forget that not everyone can speak it as well.

Having worked in a couple of European countries, I thought 7.5 hours of work plus a half an hour lunch break is the norm everywhere in the western world. So the 9 to 5 did totally make sense to me. I was honestly surprised reading all these comments.

To answer the original question, a fridge requires quite a lot of power to operate. Could be 500W. There's also power loss from the voltage conversion, so you need a battery and an inverter that are able to provide more than that - let's say 600W. Car batteries are typically 12V lead-acid batteries. 600W means 50 amps from the battery. That's a huge current. Lead-acid batteries can handle high currents for a short period of time, but high currents have a negative effect on the battery capacity. So my guess is that the fridge could work for a very short period of time.

Before cell phones, we had a cordless phone... which others were able to hear from the radio.

Me too. Couldn't quite make it to the bathroom. I remember our first grade teacher asked me to come to her office and told me to next time throw up in the bathroom.

I was going to say we've all lost an essay before we learned to routinely save the document. :)

So... it was a really good call from the CEO to not remove the account?

Imagine the irony, if finally some day Putin is found dead, fallen from a window.

I prefer YouTube premium over Spotify for the same reason, but the feature that made me pay for YouTube is video downloads. I'm traveling a lot and I can spend a flight easily watching YouTube. I don't listen to that much songs, mostly podcasts and SoundCloud, so I'll probably pause my subscription when I'm not traveling, if they increase the prices.

Edit: Revanced looks promising, gotta check that.

Done, and found and read the community info!

One time we arrived at a train station drunk, and decided to cross the train tracks, instead of walking through the underpass tunnel. Just when I was jumping to the tracks, my friend stopped me and a train that I hadn't noticed passed the station full speed.

We crossed the tracks anyway. Between the tracks there's a fence and I cut my pants from the crotch when I climbed over it. Later my mom noticed the cut and said: "I hope you haven't been crossing railway tracks". "Of course not", I replied. To this day I wonder how the fuck she knew!! We didn't even live close to any railway tracks.

I’m surprised that some populist party hasn’t picked this. I mean, this is exactly the kind of injustice that’s easy for everyone to agree that it just doesn't feel right. How easy it would be to do something about it or how much it would really make a difference, that I don't know.
