Well, Belize is actually in North America (Central America and the Caribbean are considered to be part of the North American continent). There is an English-speaking country in South America as well: Guyana, which used to be known as British Guyana.

Until 1973, Belize was called British Honduras, that makes it less surprising.

That reminds me of the woman who declared that she couldn’t vote for Barack Obama because he was a Muslim and an atheist.

Conversely, Japanese people learn to tell the difference between an “o” vowel held for shorter or longer periods, a skill that I find incredibly difficult even though I lived in Japan for 7 years.

Rome was sacked repeatedly by foreign barbarians. Given the geography, I figure that is either going to be Canada or Mexico.

So are you thinking what I’m thinking? Jewish space lasers?

I found the plot of both movies rather trite, but the characters (and actors) were superb!

Fubar and Fubar II.

Just keep givin’ 'er!

A young woman I knew was complaining that she had made plans to meet a friend in the city (long before most people had mobile phones), but the friend hadn’t showed up so she waited for a long time on the street corner.

My brother immediately chipped in, “what was his name, John?”

A classmate of mine had tickets to see Zeppelin in, I think the fall of 1980. I wasn’t into Zep much then, but I remember how crushed he was hearing that Bonham had died and the tour was canceled.

Which Google lens work? And take a picture of each page and feed it to the Google translate engine. It might be the easiest way.

Just to point out, the province of Alberta has more measles case than the entire us, with a population of under 5 million people.

Coincidentally, the area where is this spreading most is the least vaccinated part of the province.

I found the first season superb. The characters weren’t as well defined as later on, but some of the plots were amazing and brutal!

I found A Man on the Inside much better than The Good Place, but maybe because the former deals with an elderly man in a retirement home, and I just experienced my father’s short stay in one. Also Ted Danson looks a bit like my dad.

Tommy Douglas, who was voted the greatest Canadian in history, was responsible for introducing universal healthcare.

You skipped over the part where you attempt to plug it in, flip the USB connector attempt again, flip it again, and finally it goes in.

Presumably it was carefully calculated so that this bill would still pass as long as Vance cast the deciding vote.

Coincidentally, I speak English, French and Japanese, and am learning Spanish (and I learned German and Sesotho in the distant past). I cheated, however all except Spanish were learned at least partially by immersion in places where they speak it.

And both the men’s and women’s fragrances have a statuette of a man (presumably an idealized Trump from about 50 years ago). So I guess they think that women want to be Trump too. That’s just as delusional as thinking that men want to be Trump.

I have had nicks in my windshield due to gravel thrown up by vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.
