#3 shouldn't be "don't dress down", but rather "don't assume your checked baggage will always make on the same flight you do." This advice would also address "Not bringing back-up cosmetics in your carryon". And of course several pieces of advice assume that the flyer has money, which makes sense for a Forbes reader.
The largest political party in Scotland is the social-democratic SNP, who align with the Green party in the European parliament. Quoting Wikipedia: "Among its policies are commitments to same-sex marriage, reducing the voting age to 16, unilateral nuclear disarmament, progressive personal taxation, the eradication of poverty, the building of affordable social housing, government subsidised higher education, opposition to the building of new nuclear power plants, investment in renewable energy,...". There is no way they would want to join the US, where the majority political party is in almost complete and fervent opposition to these goals. They should be a Nordic country instead. :)
We got Mentos at the neighborhood market in Miami as a kid in the early 1980s. This was a Cuban market, and as I recall, Mentos were more popular among people with a Spanish-speaking heritage.
I do not think they know what "per capita" means. The text says "Vermont is home to second most pot users per capita—10.69%" while the chart lists Vermont's "per capita" as 90. I thought they might have scaled it so CO is 100, but the numbers still don't work out (10.69 / 11.45 = 94%, not 90/100). Also, I know many New Mexicans, and can say for certain that less than 100% of them have expressed interest on marijuana via Facebook interest.
Here's where I get to point out that in Sweden (and several other countries), everyone get a longer parental leave than IKEA's US policy (#1) including access to a lactation consultant (#8), healthcare coverage (even interns) from #5, no college tuition (#7), and childcare (#19). And a lot of vacation time. I'm self-employed, and I get something like a year of parental leave. Oh, and the latest is that kids get free eyeglasses up to 18 years old.
I found another example of train tracks going through a building above ground level, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Line#/media/File:Chelsea_Market_IMG_9040.JPG . It seems the Chelsea Market "construction coincided with that of the High Line, allowing a freight train siding to be built directly within the building itself."
If one of them was soaked in brandy, it could represent an aquifer. It would need to be between something like marzipan, which would also represent clay layers. Ohh! And an extra layer of ganache for coal.
I haven't followed Batman for about 20 years. I think I'm missing something, as the Batman here isn't what I expected. In Tim Burton's "Batman", we see Bruce Wayne go on a date with Vicki Vale, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9NmAhXh970 . He wears a business suit, not his superhero costume. A web search now finds a scene from a comic where he's on a date with Harley Quinn, at https://comicnewbies.com/2015/05/14/bruce-wayne-goes-on-a-date-with-harley-quinn/ . It sure looks like he dresses to impress in both cases.
Wayne is also a billionaire and philanthropist. Why would slink out to avoid paying for what's at most a $100 dinner bill? Is there something going on in the new movies or comics so that those jokes make sense?
I was expecting someone to bring up Disneyland Paris. If she had suggested it as the compromise, then he could have still made the same retort about Spaceship Earth.
There was an IBM ad for RFID grocery store checkout over 10 years ago, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eob532iEpqk . Oddly (ok, to make the joke work) it assumed that people would still want paper receipts.
Hey! I came up with that idea in high school! I likely wasn't the first, and in any case it likely took all this time for the material science to be advanced enough to do it. I'm still happy that it actually exists now.
