Well, if you’re like me it’s because all your ancestors 15 generations back all sat in the same small region and probably never came close to meeting anyone from Ireland.

Some teachers have no idea about things and still try to teach them. They aren’t different from other people there.

We were taught a lot of stupid shit in elementary school, because the teacher was a crank and proud of it. I remember vividly how he tried to explain the density anomaly of water (to ten year olds) by saying that atoms in solid objects move faster than in liquids and therefore need more space. I didn’t believe one word of it.

You don’t need to be related to any Spanish or Scandinavian people to have similar markers. MyHeritage marked me with 35% DNA from the British Isles, but many people in my specific region of Germany seem to have the same. So they are just markers that are very common in some areas, but they can also appear elsewhere. Funnily enough, I have a relative with a British father and she has no British DNA markers.

We have two in my town. One is overly greasy, the other one overly salty. I suspect neither of them employs trained cooks but rather people that originally came here as tech students. I think both have mango chicken, but you can also get that in the Chinese places and in one pizza restaurant - which, despite having an Italian name, is run by Pakistani, but still has the second best pizza in town.

I suppose there are so many people with Indian roots in GB that you can actually get good Indian food there. There’s competition and enough people who know how it’s supposed to taste like. I mean, where I live in Germany we have Indian restaurants run by Indian immigrants, but they are quite often not very good.

Avocados aren’t sweet and contain a lot of fat, so yes, they kind of taste like a butter block with kind of a vegetable undertone. That’s why they are usually eaten seasoned and as a savory.

That said, if they aren’t traditional in your country, they don’t have that much going for them. I like guacamole, but I don’t think the it justifies the price when there are so many other things to eat.

They are trying to get rid of that too, but it seems to be difficult.

It doesn’t work like this, though. High calcium alone won’t give you kidney stones. They ended up with another kidney stone because they either had a genetic predisposition or because they didn’t end the habit that caused their kidney stone.

It’s a bit safer to use freshly boiled water. You can contaminate distilled water if you keep it around long enough.

You have to drink quite a lot of destilled water or drink it regularly for this to matter. Also, Iron can’t be easily pulled out of your body, that’s why it can be quite dangerous to overdose on iron supplements long term.

Yes, but very few and I think they might have personality disorders.

That really depends a lot on body shape. You surely heard about women who repressed any thought of pregnancy and nobody else did notice either. Apart from that I’d say 20 weeks.

No - only in the garage which recently got a motion activated light installed. It’s also the only place in the house where I always swichted the light on because it’s always dark. So I’m simply not used to not switching the light on there yet.

I tend to accidentally lock my office door at work, or try to unlock it when I’m inside and want to go out. That’s because the printing room door needs to be locked constantly and I go there several times a day.

Sprouts are only really a problem with potatoes. You can eat beet leafs and sprouts, so you only need to check if they aren’t spoiled in some other way.

He wants the war to end and doesn’t care how. He wants to be seen as a peace- and dealmaker and doesn’t care about the details. He also respects Putin because he is what Trump wants to be. At the same time, however, it’s easy to sway Trump in any direction if you talk to him in person. He’ll accept your opinion as his own until one of his aides tells him otherwise.

It can be even funnier. I’m an atheist, but I go to church regularly with my wife. Some weeks ago the priest read that part of the bible - and everyone turned their head, looking at the stands in the back of the church where they were going to sell fair trade products later that day.
