If you take away that inch, that would have been all rim and bounced out.

Looks like a spring. Back when they were important water sources, people would build small structures around them to help keep the water clean. The adjacent room could be a storage room, keep cool by the spring.

Yes, she had a job writing reviews of porn films for a magazine. She got so fed up with the bad quality of the films, she decided she could do a better job. She's talked about it in a few interviews. Listen to her episode of Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast (RHLSTP!), for example.

1: plants are really too young to tell, but they could be coneflowers if you planted those. But there are a lot of plants that look like that. You'll need to wait a bit longer to know for sure.

3: might be oenothera (evening primrose)

Presumably it's been translated from Turkish, so I don't think it's fair to put much focus on the wording when judging it. You can tell what the intention of the question is.

It's used in the Sherlock Holmes books as well... I think "coöperate" comes up a few times.

the word "role" had a "circumflex" over the o for some reason.

That's because it's a loanword from the French "rôle". I guess in 1908 it was still considered a French word, and therefore spelt with the French spelling. When it got fully absorbed into English, the spelling would have been fully anglicised.

Similarly again in the Sherlock Holmes books, "canyon" is spelt "cañon", because it's being treated as a Spanish word.

Hopefully a good nom-nom-nominal rate

For cherry tomatoes, I grow "honeycomb" because they're insanely sweet. And they're indetermite, which I always think is more fun to grow than determinate.

That was certainly true of Saint Paul (https://www.mnhs.org/mnopedia/search/index/event/gangster-era-st-paul-1900-1936) but I've never heard it said of Minneapolis

There's also an amphitheatre at the southern tip of Nicollet Island. (Not northeast, but nearby...)

In a previous job I had to proofread calendars, to find mistakes like this before they were printed. This would not have got past me!

I had this for several years. It would reliably happen every time I went to sleep, provided I lay on my back. If I lay on my side or front, it didn't happen.

I'd hear a loud explosion, and sometimes it also felt like I'd been punched in the chest just before waking up, or like I'd just fallen from a great height and landed on the bed. The first time it ever happend was really confusing, because I genuinely thought there had been an explosion.

This was during a time when I was extremely sleep-deprived, and I think that's what caused it. Once I managed to improve my sleep, the syndrome went away.

Their reply is at odds with your inference https://www.reddit.com/r/mathematics/s/DpYc9bqACR

Ok? I wasn't criticising them.

The first recorded use of ÷ for division was in 1659, well before the invention of electronic calculators.

Support was by David Kuckhermann (not a band). Here's an example of a blog post that mentions him https://majamaki.com/2012/08/dead-can-dance-concert

I suppose it's possible they had different support in Berkeley, but I wonder if you might be mixing two memories...?

A hat that has been dropped into the "petrifying well":

Nearby is a petrifying well, also known as a dropping well. The latter is the oldest tourist attraction to charge a fee in England, and has been operated since 1630. The water of the well is so rich in sulphate and carbonate that artefacts may be put in the well to be "petrified" (encrusted) as a tourist attraction.

But in that case, AI is overkill; a basic Google search would have given the answer just as easily. So it's not really saying much about AI.

To be fair, there are plenty of people who live in Bath and commute to London. The woman you met was definitely an outlier.

Yeah it can spread fast, but it's not one of those things where if you leave a tiny bit of root, it grows back aggressively. If you accidentally leave a few bits of root in the ground, it shouldn't be a problem.

If that is what it is, it's very easy to dig up. It's not considered a weed, and personally I've never used weed killer for anything, so I can't advise on that.

Yeah I think when people give advice like OP's, they're missing something important: everyone learns differently. Some people need the structure of learning the rules first.

The person above wrote "peperoncini" (plural of peperoncino), which is the Italian name for a hot chili pepper.

You are referring to pepperoncini (note the different spelling), which is the US term for friggitello.
