Because it is a word, or it's easier to say, or funnier.
It's definitely not the only case. NATO comes to mind, or GOAT, NIMBY. Yesterday I heard someone say (in a tv series episode) 'fudney' for FDNY
What it 'actually' is does not matter.
It's ICE, as in: cold as
I have a small site with no robots.txt . Google search console still shows the same number of search results as in the last few months (around 800/month)
National in what country?
I played in a university gaming club from 1984-1989. Then nothing, but it kept popping up in my life. I just had nobody to play with anymore. Then 2016 arrived, and I did some internet searching. I found (after some false starts) a group, that I still play with every Thursday night.
Yes, for me it also feels like home.
I hope your—and mine—d&d journey keeps on giving!
Output looks interesting. Can you share the system, or at least the general rules that it uses?
This is like one of our cats
Our other cat is much better at communication – she calls for attention, then guides us to the place where she wants us to do something (open a door, fill the food cups, or give scratches)

Very misleading graphic, suggesting that Haas (2014) is as old as Williams (1977), McLaren (1963), or even Ferrari (before 1950).
Good question. So, perform an experiment: put an ice cube without air bubbles in a glass containing a mixture of ice and cold water. The temperature should become 0°C (just before it freezes), measure it.
Your hypothesis: ice is heavier than water, so it will sink
Execute the test several times, preferably 10 times or more. More is better.
Please share your experiment results. Interesting data to know for each test would include:
please also share your conclusion.
Most of us Dutchies are more or less fluent in English (over 90% of the population), and yes, many will switch to English quickly, even if you start the conversation in Dutch but are not a native speaker.
German and Dutch are closely related, but most Dutch people are not fluent in German — speaking German here is usually limited to "hallo, wie geht's?" and ordering meals or drinks.
The Netherlands is generally very LGBTQ positive, but exceptions exist.
Immigration depends on where you're from and if you have a job here. Visiting as a tourist is easy if you are already living in Germany - just remember to bring your passport (often it's not checked, but there are exceptions). We love friendly tourists!
So, you now learned that human behaviour is often silly when observed without context
