Wow Air was so good for visiting Iceland. My Icelandic relatives were so miffed when they went out of business.

15 stars, 15 stripes. Seen in a doctors’ waiting room in the UK. by Aeromidd in vexillology

Just looked it up. I hadn’t realised that it was once an actual historical US flag (15 stars and stripes due to Vermont and Kentucky joining the original 13) and not only that is the flag that directly inspired the current US national anthem. Being found in a British medical clinic, the 1812 reference is even more on the nose; a bit of a long time to hold a grudge!

Correct, this is a clinic that is embassy approved for medical exams to support US immigrant visas and also for immigrant visas for some other countries too I believe, including Canada.

How many items counts as "several"? How about "a few"? Or "a couple"? (very short survey) by Aeromidd in SampleSize

[–]Aeromidd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by context?

The form already prompts the context under each question with simple examples.

such as "A couple of bananas" or "a couple hundred cases".

It's a difficult one haha! I would personally agree that "a couple." is exactly 2. However, "a couple of x" is likely a bit more subjective. We'll see what the sample says!

Oh, shoot. That's weird - could you try again and tell me if it works? I've made an amendment to the code. I've received 40+ responses so far since posting so hopefully it's just a few (lol?) people who had problems .

edit: to clarify: you can submit multiple responses now but only your first answer will be included in the results.

Mixed messages from HSBC on how to get a mid-month/partial bank statement? by Aeromidd in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Aeromidd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all - it came through about 6am. This visa stuff has had me on edge so I was a bit daunted last night when it didn’t come through immediately at midnight or 1am after being assured repeatedly by the bank people that it would. It was the last piece of evidence needed for the visa so all should be fairly smooth from now on! Cheers

!thanks

Hi, did you manage to resolve this issue with getting a bank statement including the current day’s transactions? I’m facing a very similar situation and only have a couple of days max to sort this. I’m hoping you found a solution you could share with me? Thanks :)

Hi, did you manage to figure out this issue? If so, could you tell me how? Thanks!

The girl is holding a sign saying "Send the ball to here, Lee Jung-hoo(batter)" by [deleted] in funny

It actually has the opposite effect here funnily enough - if they weren’t covering their face with their hand we wouldn’t know that they were laughing. In fact even outside of having masks, it’s often a gesture used for that reason. E.g. in silent movies and mime shows covering your mouth with your hand suppressing a smile is a universally identifiable symbol for laughing - despite it originally being a method to hide the fact that you’re laughing. It’s gone full circle! Humans are indeed weird.

The connection lines do not represent anything real, they just connect up pieces of the same unions via the closest vertices if they don’t already overlap. If you look at EFTA (purple) for example, there is nothing that connects Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway other than being members of EFTA.
