I can't find anything corroborating this (most sources I checked stated ski just meant 'comes from ' in the name kinda, so you may want to be careful about what you "learn".

Examples: https://theskilesson.com/why-do-polish-names-end-in-ski-discover-the-fascinating-reason-behind-it/ states it may have helped popularize it a bit (presumably by having the place whence they came in the name?) but I don't think the above poster's statement is actually true here considering the link and several others I checked.

Yup, this is correct.

Nope. I live on an island on the opposite side of the world from my family and there are currently no seafaring options that work with my employer. In-country, the only time I've flown is to another island several hours away. Otherwise it's public transit for me the vast majority of the time (and my fuel efficient bike for when I need to go somewhere transit doesn't (in 9 months, I have 800km on it, a lot of which was going to and from Costco).

Download the messaging app of your choice. Get friends to download it if they want to contact you. Use that app and too bad if no one else does shrug

That is both good and horrifying, but I'm glad you have something better :)

Try to prepare for disappointment. I was never a huge fan, but would have it occasionally. Had it for the first time in a decade or so a few years ago and didn't enjoy any part of the meal (various different stuff at an office party) :P

If you enjoy it, that's wonderful; it's just never really been a thing I look forward to, and I hope you don't have too good an image in your head.

Ooooh, look at "I can sleep once and only once per day and never for longer than a day" over here ;P :)

I'm shocked that this is still news as often as he seems to speak without thinking

Automated Teller Machine Machines, eh USA Today?

I was wondering if it were tied to recent court decisions in Korea to allow someone to sue over wartime labour, but it looks like this has been going on a lot longer.

Not particularly, based on my experience. Now, if you want AS/400 people and such...

I am so happy not to have to mess with that. LOADHIGH agony.

Some of the the Louisana folks would often say ka-SHAY in a wonderful Cajun accent.

Don't be sorry :) I'm sure different people would even argue about the definitions above. I lived in a super-left (comparatively and using US terms) neighborhood in a generally left city, in a generally left district in a state that mostly voted conservative. Depending upon the granularity (and definition of all the above terms), the results would play out rather differently. I'm a software engineer for a living so exercises a bit like this are something I do often

I think it's too broad a question. How is conservative measured? State level? District? Past voting? Voter rolls?

I also imagine the type and level of crime matter. But there's also what isn't recorded.

Interesting question, though

Mostly-sashimi in half a bivalve? (Looks amazing)

As long as it's not scrambled, I suppose

It varies by region at least in the US based on a few years of doing service desk work. Listening to YouTubers, it seems a bit all over the place as well.

Well, crap. Guess I'll eat a nice quitch to chear myself up

I was drinking green tea last night, but wanted to be drinking coke zero. Doc told me to cut that shit out.
