Used to write quite a few letters, used to draft then rewrite them using a nice pen and good ink. I miss doing it, very short on the time to write them now. I also found out I lost a lot of letters a last year while moving which was heartbreaking


Breathing is also a conscious action for them if I remember right


Dolphins need to come to surface to take air so you may be right. I also remember reading about how dolphins sleep and I remember there were 3 parts of the brain that were alternating sleep to make breathing possible.


Are you asking why? Because you give an answer to your own question and what should he receive a prize in exactly?


A lot more games are structured that way.

I got into online gaming with Cs 1.6 and cs:cz normal online was kinda competitive but you had a lot of joke maps or non competive ones(climbing maps). I don't think they're as popular now since a lot of games have matchmaking and ranked unlocks as the default multilayer. I'm way out of the loop mind you, I learn a lot more to PvE multilayer now(left4dead and deep rock)


Not sure if they count but the novelisation of Mobile suit Gundam https://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Escalation-Confron...

Yukikaze and Good luck Yukikaze by Chōhei Kambayashi it ends on a cliffhanger though since the later books did not get translated. https://www.amazon.com/Yukikaze-Chohei-Kambayashi/dp/1421532...


A lot of older council apartments in the UK seem to be a bit grim. There's some skepticism against apartment blocks and a lot of newer ones seem to have odd pricing.

I live in a nice apartment in Austria but I'd be a lot more critical looking for one to live in the UK.


> A lot of older council apartments in the UK seem to be a bit grim.

Living on a 1960s council estate (in a non-council apartment) with several low-rise blocks and some high-rise, yeah, it's mildly grim.


> a lot of newer ones seem to have odd pricing.

as in, they cost as much as freeholds, despite being leaseholds, That scam has yet to become apparent, but I'm sure it will eventually.

Also, the liability of having to depend on a management company, and rising fees..


Yeah, that and a lot seem kinda small while being a bit lower than the prices of some houses(but still too much imo). Been a long time since I dreamed of home ownership admittedly.

I thought grenfell pushed the leaseholder vs freehold pricing out in the open. I've seen stuff about leaseholders effectively in negative equity because of the cost of cladding and a previous government dropped a bill or amendment changing who had to pay for such things or the existence of leasehold.


Congestion charge and parking availability would have already frozen out most lower owners driving into Central London (zone 1 and 2). What does rent stabilised mean here? Not a phrase I've ever heard regarding council housing in the UK.


Probably council housing or housing association tenants. My guess is that the person who said "rent stabilised" is American, as it is an American term - I know new yorkers in rent stabilised housing.


One of the many problems with the internet is the export of American culture.

Given the time of day it’s likely OP was just repeating YouTube talking points from outrage bait videos, rather than being an actual American, but the infection remains regardless, the whole “hands up don’t shoot” nonsense where people in the U.K. acted like the police were armed for example


The following is not a class bound remark: some people don't have culture, so they absorb americanisms more easily. Hands down, worst bit of the Internet is that it provides those americanisms.


I mainly listen to audio dramas. I find reddit the best place to get recs either that or I give advertised podcasts in ones I'm listening to a try.


Tafelspitz is waste of good altweiner backfleisch.

I quite like the Sache Torte in the place I live. More importantly though it's coming up to Krapfen season.


I find the why and what are so useful. If I know why what the code is aiming to achieve, it makes rewriting it or fixing a bug much easier
