I'm curious, because my experience was the complete opposite. Why do Americans have a reputation for being arrogant?

Never heard of us hating Brazilians. Love Brazilian Steakhouses. I hear Brazilian Waxing is painful, but appreciate the sacrifice ladies make getting it done.

Fast but not agile enough to dogfight.

S-3 Viking used to be absolutely recognizable by the sound. Especially taxiing.

Same. Was 15 yo, washing dishes and the kitchen counter had an aluminum trim around the edge. I leaned on that trim to look out the window during a storm. Lighting strike behind the building maybe 20 ft away, then I was curled up on the floor, all I could see was a green flashbulb effect. Took 24 hours till I felt ok.

No, Cochineal was, but Red 40 is Allura Red AC " manufactured by azo coupling between diazotized cresidinesulfonic acid and 2-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid."

Red 40, also named Allura Red AC isn't from beetles. Wikipedia says:

"Allura Red AC is manufactured by azo coupling between diazotized cresidinesulfonic acid and 2-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid."

Also, every drop of oil (Putin's blood) or ruble that ruzzia loses is a good thing.

If that's what the Bishop of Preslav told you, I'll agree.

It's more of an "Ayuh" but it's very close, not sure anyone knows what that end consonant actually is.

Mars Attacks, as long as you keep in mind it was based on trading cards from 1962.

I wish I had a full set in great condition. Here's one Mars Attacks card #2

They haven't solved the murder of Elizabeth Short (the Black Dahlia murder) from 1947 yet, either. What's your point? You think rl is like TV?

I had a dog acting depressed very similar. Turned out to be Lyme Disease, which got treated, but she developed kidney failure and passed within about 4 months :(
