It is insane that Sweden has managed to export this problem to the US

It's $8 a gallon in sweden and it's still subsidized

They literally campaigned on a slogan saying that doubling the prison time would cut crime in half. Insanity.

There are probably some with sand and other hard minerals, I think Dove had some soaps with aluminum oxide in it?

Being smug over the meanings of words that aren't ever actually used in a consistent way is even more American.

Um actually, Strawberries are not a berry, it's a Gameboy, not a Nintendo, and I lick toads. Can you go to the bathroom?

The only thing similar that I have experienced in Europe is the protected food name law, e.g. Champagne and Parmesan, but that's an EU cultural protectionism law that the US doesn't actually follow.

In sweden you can hire the right to live in a building. "Hyresrätt" = "Rental apartment"

Then you'd probably swing your sword around and get it stuck in the wall and die. Rapiers and polearms are probably better in tight spaces against unarmored opponents. Polearms are just always better in general if you don't have sword training.

It's like comparing a shotgun to a AR-15 pistol. Sure, the pistol is more compact, has more power, and will put more rounds downrange, but they're all going to be in the ceiling if you haven't trained with it. The shotgun will be more effective.

Easy fix, just have the AI summarize what happened in the last week for you so you don't confuse it with multiple languages. Now you don't have to talk and the other person doesn't have to listen!

I expected an option that replaces Aunt Janet with an AI voice that summarizes each sentence. Gotta justify all this money on AI somehow.
