You know how to can get turned off of eggs if you get the egg ick.

I don’t think I do know actually. But here’s an attempt at answering this question anyway:

And bonus, anybody know why that happens?

We are usually very quick at relating sickness or even discomfort to the food we ate at the time or slightly before. This is a very valuable trait to avoid food that is unhealthy or even poisonous. But it’s only based on correlation, so it can turn us off food that is not actually causing the sickness but we just happened to eat at the time.

I’m sure he would have believed he could.

the bill’s language and topic caused confusion; a member proposed that it be referred to the Finance Committee, but the Speaker accepted another member’s recommendation to refer the bill to the Committee on Swamplands, where the bill could “find a deserved grave”.

An assemblyman handed him the bill, offering to introduce him to the genius who wrote it. He declined, saying that he already met as many crazy people as he cared to.

I hope medicine in 1897 was up to the treatment of these burns.

This is the way

That’s why I use LaTeX. (I also use Arch btw.)

Legendary you say? Relatively unknown outside of Germany (and other German speaking countries) you say?

Let me introduce you to Dschinghis Khan by Dschingis Khan

(99 Luftballons, which was mentioned here before, is arguably the bigger hit that really everyone knows. But I couldn’t resist throwing this out there. It was a huge hit and is still known.)

They do things the way they want while I’m doing them the way I want. Which is clearly the superior way (though they disagree).

You’re doing neither yourself nor anyone else a favour by being overly shy and reticent. You yourself will enjoy life much more when you are yourself and while not everyone will like you, the ones who don’t often don’t stay in your life long and it’s easier to find people you vibe with if they can see you for who you are.

Granted, I very much did not take this advice as a teenager and even now I’m occasionally too shy. But looking back it was good advice and I really wish I hadn’t wasted so much time and energy on not being negatively noticed by people I didn’t really care about then and who haven’t been in my life for years.

But are you gonna return something for this method??? You said you’d return an integer, yet there is no return statement!

Not only more readable than A and B but I would argue it’s also easier to remember who did what a few sentences or paragraphs earlier since Alice and Bob invoke slightly less generic mental images than A and B. For example one is a woman and the other one is a man, maybe even some person or character you know.

And now that I’m thinking about it, the different gender also makes it easier to keep track of who does what because different pronouns are used (at least in English and many other languages).

Oh cool, we have a very similar one in German: “His/her swing stood too close to the wall.”
