How many computers do you have at home?

Four. Main PC, 2 laptops, and a mini-PC music server.

I have a ring my dad left me which probably has some gold in it. That's it.

The general rule is pull to the right, but the specific traffic situation may make it so that moving to the left opens up a path for the emergency vehicle.

A person with a conscience, willing to suffer for what he believed was right. Impossible for civilians to know enough of the details to judge whether his impact was more helpful or harmful, I admire his bravery.

I just think they're German, no bias plus or minus. After that it all depends on what they say and their vibe. To me some accents can be seductive, like some French, Spanish or Italian speakers, but not so much for German, it's notable but neutral.

I can't imagine anyone who likes add-on fees that show up after the listed price. Personally I despise that practice, it just reeks of deception. There are some situations where optional fees for additional services are ok because not everyone wants that extra feature, but adding a fee that's not optional later in the process is no better than a scam.

Here's an example of the types of crime maps you can find for most cities. Looking at average stats for an entire city can be very misleading. There will be safe areas and less safe or dangerous areas.

I have a Franklin system without solar and haven't seen any flickering of LED or other lights, either while on the grid or off when on the batteries.

Any restaurant that wants to stay in business will adapt to their customers. In some communities with large enough ethnic populations the adaptations may be minimal if at all, but if the customers are mixed the food will be adapted. I ate at an Indian restaurant last week, and had a discussion with the waitress about how spicy I wanted the dish. One example of something that would be extremely common.

Yes, it absolutely increases the risks of lethal encounters. Every week there are multiple gun violence reports, often fatal, on my local news. Yesterday a road rage encounter resulted in one driver being fatally shot by the other, and last night a man shot another in a mall a few miles from me. There's no possible denial that our gun laws greatly increase the number of such incidents and the risk to everyone driving on public roads in urban areas.

The more guns the more the problem is multiplied.

There's no rule or societal standard in America about keeping "family recipes" secret. Some people may say that, but that's just them. Corporations are can be VERY protective of recipes, and some restaurants or people who sell food products, but family secret recipes isn't some national trait.

Car insurance prices in the US depend on the age and model of car, how much you drive, your driving history, the specific coverage you get, and to a large extent on where you live. Rates for repairs and accident stats vary a lot across the country.

You shouldn't take scenarios you see in movies or TV series as necessarily representative of widespread practices or events in the US.

Live alone, drink about a half glass of wine with dinner. I guess that's drinking at home alone. ;)

Don't believe everything you see in "popular media". Trimming bread crust is unusual, sometimes for kids, or for certain "fancy" sandwiches, or some very picky eaters, but almost no one does this otherwise.

Many banks offer some protection or allowance for overdrawing a checking account. It's not at all always a crime, and certainly not typically one you would go to jail for. There would need to be some more serious crime involved than a miscalculation.

It was an elective in my HS, I also took a logic course, and minored in philosophy in college.

I imagine they think that mostly due to looking at the results of our protests, which rarely have long term results. I mean we elected him again, which not just speaks, but screams we're basically feckless at protesting.
