I can easily see this written by someone from another country.

Ethyl alcohol does dissolve some chemicals that water and oils don't. However, it is generally considered acceptable enough to use water or soup stock if wine is not acceptable.

There is significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans.

Chinese provincial governments also spent a lot of money building out photovoltaic production capacity as part of their way to meet their GDP goals. With the property market crash still working its way through the Chinese economy, China needs to sell solar panels to keep its market afloat.

Not that it is a bad thing that China has a financial incentive to make more solar panels, just noting that there are more direct economic reasons for China to go all renewables.

I feel like those who end up in your position end up one of two ways.

You know that you don't have a safety net, so you don't spend money more than you need to. Also, since it sounds like you support your family significantly, a lot of money that would go to vacations instead goes to them.

For others, money was an on/off switch; you either have it or you don't. These kinds of people will spend at or above their means because they can and there aren't any hard limits due to a lot of credit options.

I joke about calling it steerage. Just keep walking back until you hear the Irish fiddles.

I feel like you need to be in a certain mindset to enjoy a theme park like Disney World. If you aren't in that mindset, the place is a saccharine place of over-stimulation.

Paris has been romanticized a lot in media, to the point where the Japanese embassy has to have staff on hand to handle the dispair of Japanese tourists visiting and getting disappointed.

I remember Paris being a pleasant large Western city, but it is still a large Western city with all that it entails.

Yeah. The best idea of eating in Italy is to eat in areas without good views. A hole in the wall place that looks a run down diner served amazing squid ink pasta. Also, a lot of bars will sell snacks that are real food; three of those is enough for dinner.

One of the strange things I saw with Dubai is that the civil-site design is just horrible at the edges of developments. You can tell that the emirate could spend money to make buildings, but the buildings don't form a city.

I'm used to the usual "remember me" text messages, but is there a reason they are trying to include the metro area in the message as well?

They are supposed to be grown from spores, so what use are ork nipples?
