Is this a generally used technique or a bit of flash for the cameras? Also at what altitude does a pilot required an oxygen mask?

I'm pretty sure nobody knows but seriously, using letters instead of numbers is just as bad as algebra in school. Math is too easy with just numbers so they have to use letters just to make everything more difficult.Maybe someone put Randy in charge of county highyways in Wisconsin, secondary highways in Missouri and provincial highways in Tierra del Fuego which is why they use letters instead of numbers. That's one possible explanation. less

When I landed on the fair land that is the States we and our hosts constantly jibed each other about the need for an English/American translation dictionary :P I offered to write one.. I could be rich if I did!SO biscuit and cookies... to us they are two different sizes and textures of biscuit.. Anyway... just while browsing idly I saw this article - it's fairly light-hearted :)https://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2014/05/biscuit-vs-cookie/and this.. which ahem agrees with Brits on the matter https://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2014/10/biscuits-different-britainOne thing though... can you even imagine the cookie monster getting anywhere in life if he were called the biscuit monster??? Unthinkable!Disclaimer please dont get mad.. this is meant to be a funny look at language differences less

Then whenothers recounted the meeting and it didn't track with what Junior said Don Trump Jr. CHANGED his story. Second one was about a Russian who said there was damaging information about Hillary Clinton that she had available. Also at that meeting was Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner. Now damaging info about Hillary would certainly be of interest to Manafort and Kushner. Adoption of Russian children by Americans? Seriously? Don Trump Jr. said that it was apparent the Russian woman had nothing at all regarding Clinton and changed the subject to adoption. Don Trump Jr. said it was probably a ruse to get the meeting. Is Don Trump Jr. a believable source? Paul Manafort? Jared Kushner? I expect there will be another "undisclosed" meeting uncovered. Each disclosure seems worser so I expect worser still is coming at us. Any guess on what the next worser will be about? Oh. That meeting was he... less

It seems to me playing/manipulating someone shows great disrespect for the target and supergreat arrogance on the part of the person controlling it. The intent never benefits the playee. The playee is always the dupe. Once a dupe always a dupe?

Do meateaters experience anger more often than vegans/vegetarians? If you subsist on a plant-based diet are you kinder/milder/nicer than those who don't?
