Seems like a basic safety/planning kind of question since you’d be in the middle of a body of water

I think so, too. Swimming with a life jacket in my opinion is more difficult than swimming without one. However, I would think that treading water is more difficult than swimming with a life jacket so maybe if swimming with a life jacket is the expectation, then that’s ok.

Backing it up one step further, a common beginner mistake is to decide on a destination irrespective of the wind direction. This sometimes makes sailing more difficult than it needs to be and can result in the unnecessary torturing of guests as the captain stubbornly pounds into wind and wave to achieve a destination not superior to other options that would provide a more congenial travel experience.

this is really helpful, thank you!

Do you have a source on that?

I can’t see (in Chinese culture at least) that the cheapest colour would be used for something like a wedding, it would not reflect well on one’s family to use something cheap. The reds i’m referring to are bright reds, like jewel red, not like a dull/muddy red

Auto bonds increased in kind, as lenders packaged those loans together and sold them as securities on Wall Street, where ratings agencies labeled them as largely safe investments.

can you explain this in layman’s terms? this means the loans that people take to buy cars, they got packaged together and sold as an investment for other people?

That’s like saying there’s not a lot of difference between saying “me beat” or “beat me.”

no, that’s not the same thing. the difference between “colored people” and “people of color” is similar to the difference between “a red apple” and “an apple that is red”. In English, an adjective can be placed before a noun or after a noun, with the latter formatted with a preposition such as “of”.

Edit: not sure why i’m being downvoted here - do you all not speak English? If you give a comparison it should be apples to apples, not apples to pineapples.

They told me to stop bringing gifts when I visit but I cant do that of course, can’t buy then dinner either because they would never let me pay since I’m younger

It seems like a lot of people complain about not seeing content but then don’t contribute any content themselves. Like, posts are old because there’s little new content, so maybe everyone can help contribute to communities. Content doesn’t miraculously appear.

It’s worse because it’s not wrong. The movie was released in 1988 and the recommended age to start screening was lowered to age 45 because of the increase in colorectal cancers among young people.

Someone who is 45 in 2023 would be born in 1978.

I am just trying to build up the community, you can share your memes, these are memes I saved on my phone from reddit. If it’s your meme I will give you credit :) sorry I didnt know

That’s fair, we don’t want to put too much on the website and bring it down. So far the only frustrating this is that to post on other existing communities I need to make an entirely new account for that website?

What’s difficult is finding this website in the first place, most people don’t understand terms like instances and all the server details, it would have been fine to just share this main link and tell people to recreate communities
