Grape jelly is more popular than jam, but we have both. Grape jelly is kind of an essential foodstuff in a lot of houses for making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, which is a common food for children.

We do love our flag, especially post 9/11. Michigan is definitely a place where you would see more American flags than average. If you were in San Francisco, you would see far less.

We aren't big tea drinkers, so we only need hot water for food preparation.

The coffee machines make their hot water for coffee. If you don't use a coffee machine to make coffee, you might use an electric kettle or the microwave if you are derrainged.

We read, just not posted signs without a skull on it or something cool like that.

If it is important they would put it on a hat.

"Why can't you give up untold amounts of money, free time, peace/quiet, lack of stress, and freedom so I can have my grandkids around for a few hours a week? Stop being so selfish."

They are pretty obvious about it being a post nuclear war reality.

There is a fan theory that Fallout lead to TES because of radiation. It holds about as much water as a sieve, but its fun.

It's a metaphor for life, really.

There are different types of rosemary, and as the other poster said there are differences within one sub-species that can make identification a hazy academic pursuit.

If you bought rosemary that was labeled as such, you know you have rosemary. The plant you took out, consider it a type of rosemary and leave it at that. If you like the rosemary you had better, you can clone it with a cutting and grow it anew.

All the better if you can artfully have objects placed to hide your objects.

You learn what you have to and speak what is necessary at the time.

If you live in an area with a lot of minority language speakers, you should learn that minority language. If you are in a country that doesn't speak your language, learn the local language as much as possible.

In the US for example: If you live in Southern Texas, you should know Spanish, but if you live in Fargo you probably don't need to learn Spanish unless you work in an industry with a lot of native Spanish speakers and knowing Spanish will make things easier for everybody.

If you are fluent in a second language and you are talking with someone in your primary language, but it is their second language and they aren't fluent, you should speak their language. Keep in mind that they may be wanting practice and may keep trying to speak their second language, take the hint and follow their lead. If both of you aren't fluent in each other's language, both of y'all struggle in both languages as needed to effectively communicate(This is honestly super fun).

There honestly is a big decision tree for multilingual areas like borders.

The weight of the water compresses a balloon on earth.

In space, since everything is falling together, the balloon wouldn't compress, it would expand because the atmosphere and water isn't compressing it. The surface tension of the water would allow it to envelop the balloon, so long as there is enough water to allow it to do so, otherwise it would want to gather into a spheroid because there aren't enough large surface defects on a balloon to "hold" the water. If the surface of the balloon was covered in sand glued to it, just enough water would film across the surface of the balloon.

Water gathering on a rough surface means you could drown in space if you had a drinking tube leak into your helmet and you couldn't drink the water fast enough to breathe.
