The questions-not-worth-their-own-thread Question Thread!

[nc-1701]

I'm not looking to beat anybody up. I want them mostly for show. I don't want to order them because 1) I don't have a credit card, and 2) I don't want anybody in the house to know I have them.

Er...
My bad, I just assumed

I have a question for anyone that has any experience with coins. I have a bunch (and I'm talking dozens) of buffalo nickels from 1920-1930 that I don't really want and would rather sell. Where would I sell them? Will the bank take them for face value? What is their value?

What you should do is look in a phone book for a coin dealer, most medium sized cities have at least one. Find it and then take them in, and ask how much they'll give you for the lot. Don't expect a huge amount, but depending on the condition the coins are in probably a quarter a each maybe a few dollars if it's in decent shape. So if your willing to sacrifice an hour or two looking up a shop you could net a fair bit depending on exact dates and their condition.

Question of my own... What does it mean when in a mixed gender setting most or all of the girls present go to the bathroom at once? What does it mean when they go in pairs? (Girl a takes girl b to the restroom, they come back girl a and girl c go to the restroom etc.)
Are the just hanging out in there? Do they really need help to pee? Are they having sex? WDF? I don't understand it!?

Women just like to go to the bathroom together. I think they're talking behind people's backs, or maybe they don't want to feel removed from the party, so they have a friend go with them. Maybe they feel uncomfortable being in a strange bathroom by themselves. Who really knows? Find a woman and ask them!

Also, I found out brass knuckles are illegal in my state. I'm not sure I want to risk it. (But it would be so cool! )

Girls always do things together. Groupthink, etc.

We like to talk. A lot. Sometimes we're talking about you, usually we're talking about our shoes or our periods or our bras. Sometimes we need an opinion on something, and nobody looks twice when we ask each other to come pee, so we don't have to call outside attention to whatever the question is. It's boring (makeup touchup, need a tampon, just want company) more often than it's interesting (Billy's so cute, I think I'm pregnant, let's practice kissing). We debate hovering a lot.

If Mary is taking everyone into the bathroom individually, repeatedly... drama may well be going down.

Has anyone here been to Luxembourg?
What's it like? I never hear ANYTHING from it.

I've been there, it's a nice country, pretty green and nice, rather clean too, good friendly poeple, they talk either German or French or some gibberish.

I was in Luxembourg (the capital of Luxembourg) (which is just near the Belgian province of Luxembourg) in a bar of some sorts, and the waiter came to me and asked "alles klar"? And I was thinking, I just got here, what do you mean, "everything ready?". Turns out its a way of greeting.

A lot of Belgians go to Luxembourg, to launder illegal money via tax shelters and a lot of Belgians buy huge amount of ciggarettes becuase they are cheaper in Luxembourg.

Don't go in the tourist shops, think backstreet stuff. They're in the back (if it's a good store.)

they're worth a lot more than face value. EBay or coin traders.

actually it means "everything allright/OK?" .

I have an appointment with a coin dealer tomorrow.

Recently watched an episode of Voyager (Random Thoughts). One scene of the episode has Tuvok sharing deep, recessed memories of hate and violence with someone of a telepathic race. One of the scenes I would swear is from the movie Event Horizon. I paused the scene and swear I can make out the walls of the chamber housing the black hole generator with the burning guy in the foreground. I also thought I saw the character played by Sam Neill after he got taken over by the evil forces. They were split second scenes, though, so I cannot be 100% positive.

Anyone else recall this episode and remember the scenes? Am I right?

I won't subject myself to an episode of Voyager to check, but the brief images of hell in that movie were ace. Isn't there a scene where you can just about make out the unfortunate original crew mutilating and eating each other? And Sam Neill's dead wife was just creepy.

Oh yeah, those were some bizarre scenes of the original crew. And creepy barely does his wife justice!

For other non-English speakers like me: do you understand spoken british english? I don't.

For other non-British english speakers: do you understand spoken british english?

For brits: do you understand what you say?

For non-native and non-british speakers: When you ear someone speaking in british enlgish, what do you think? I personally find their accent(s) extremely moronic.

Everytime I want to see a youtube video and then I realize that they speak british english, I've got to look for the videos on the same topic in american english.

If you think that, then what do you think of different Spanish accents? As an English speaker who understands Spanish pretty well, I find Andalusian and even Catalan accents incomprehensible or even a little ridiculous. English accents sound strange to you because you have no experience with them and don't understand them. Just like I am with different Spanish accents. And as we both are with different French accents or even American ones. So what exactly is your point then?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I've watched a few British films where I was glad I always watch with captioning turned on because I could not understand half of what they were saying. Other times I can understand them okay, but a lot of the slang goes totally over my head and I have to repeat the scene a few times to put it in context.

Really? I thought that we are known for our plain standard Spanish accent, but thanks for saying that we actually have accent (no, the Andalusian immigrants aren't linguistically catalans).

Thick Scottish accents can be difficult to hear through, but aside from that, I can understand most English spoken by native English speakers without much trouble.

Everyone has accent!

There is no "British-English". You're learning English the hard way through an Americain. Perhaps like learning French from a Spaniard.
