The Story Bridge. 

Your helpful hint will be self-righteously ignored by certain people who don't like changing their old habits.
They'll persist in using outdated terms -- because it will please them and they'll think they've won a battle. 🙄 

As a hopefully helpful hint, the term "Canadian Indian" isn't used up here.   "Native Canadian" is sometimes heard, but it is more appropriate to use the term "Indigenous" or "Aboriginal" when speaking of Canadian Native populations generally.   This can be broken down further and more distinctly into the following three groups who are identified in the Canadian Constitution as being Aboriginal:  First Nations (analogous to "American Indians"); Metis (a population of mixed European/First Nations ancestry that arose primarily in the Red River Valley in the 1600s and developed its own unique language and culture - and while all Metis have mixed ancestry, not everyone with mixed ancestry would be considered Metis); and Inuit (analogous to "American Eskimo").
Unlike American Indians, First Nations people are generally divided into 'Bands' or 'Nations' rather than 'Tribes', and they live on "Reserves" rather than "Reservations".  
It's taken a while for me to come to a proper understanding of all this, since it was not really taught in school when I was younger.  But the Indigenous people I have encountered have generally been patient and willing to teach those who may not have the proper understanding.  

I was never fooled.

So, after all the sweet stuff about how wonderful Queens allegedly is, we finally see its real character? Lol.

They're not on the keyboard as far as I can tell. I used an app on my laptop which lets me select all sorts of symbols and other alphabets. If I can't be arsed I use the three letter abbreviations like GBP EUR CHF etc. Same as i sometimes use USD AUD CAD rather than $US $AU or whatever. 

I watch a left-leaning British politics podcast not known for its favourable attitude towards the monarchy or the king himself but it recently selected him as its hero of the week from its panelists' nominations for a hero and a villain. They noted that since his announcement there had been a marked increase in men seeking prostate tests.
In case you were wondering, their villain of the week was not one of the usual roster of politicians but rather five African grey parrots who had been removed from their public-facing place at a zoo for excessive swearing. When they were moved, the other parrots they were placed with also learnt to swear. Zoo-keepers were planning to put them into a larger flock of birds in the hope they would alter their behaviour to be more like the others. What could possibly go wrong?

Not good for the environment, but they have done the calculations here, and less green house gases are produced using coal to produce the electricity to charge an EV than an ICE vehicle would produce to travel the same distances using petroleum-based fuel. Of course the more green energy in your local power supply the less CO2 your driving will produce.

It was in Spain, not Britain and the fine was 6,000 Euros, which is $USD6,435. (The GBP is USD 1.26.) As I read it the fine was imposed by Spanish civil authorities, the government's anti-violence commission, so the money would have gone to the Spanish state. I assume his ban from stadiums in Spain would place him on some sort of La Liga black list that could be checked at turnstiles or ticket offices. How effective the list would be is a separate question, but entering a stadium may well be an offence.

Bozo posted his comment in a new thread, but since @samhexum had already posted news of Mr Post's passing here, we merged it into this one.

You're probably thinking of 2008 -- the last time the pound was double the dollar. Before that, it was way back in 1992 and several times in the 1970s.

Marc in Calif - that is too clever for me to take offense

This thread is about the Natural History museum and there is a category difference between displaying indigenous artefacts in such a museum and displaying indigenous art in gallery. Displaying art is more likely to give indigenous people agency in a way that treating them as part of 'nature' does not.

Flip your question around: Why would you turn down an opportunity to be with a guy during the other 23 hours of the day?  Do you really only have one specific hour during which you can meet?
Your question assumes that someone else should change his schedule to accommodate you, and it's just as valid to question why you can't change your schedule to accommodate him.
