First visit to the vet plays out like an Abbot and Costello sketch!

I live in Luxembourg and I have the same question!

I suspect it is trains going outside of the country but it's funny to see nonetheless. I think most trains originate from Luxembourg (when travelling to other countries over anything that would be considered a long distance which I suspect gives them a scheduling advantage).

I mean, yeah, he'd have to hold the phone, no way that thing would stay the nook of his shoulder with a neck like that!

Can only speak to the UK, but in the 90s women drinking pints of beer was so radical that they got their own name - ladettes, which also tied into the Girl Power movement (might have been third-wave feminism adjacent? Idk)

These days if a woman drinks a beer nobody would even bat an eyelid, it's just such an unusual thing to think that was ever considered not normal. This is just one case, but it's indicative of one way that society has progressed. There are many more examples of such societal changes.

Your statement prompted me to think back to when the BBC used to run stories on the dangers of uppity Ladettes and what that might mean for the establishment.

These are beautiful, thank you for sharing.

It really speaks to something when I'm rooting (no pun intended) for a Kiwi vine to find the pole, like "come on buddy you can do it". Very satisfying to watch.

"...they fight for airplane meals...", now we know what goes on behind the curtain, a Mile-High Fight Club!

 

I've heard of Pythonistas and Rustaceans. What are some of the other names given to devs writing in, for example, PHP or C++. Appreciate any answers - both serious and joking.
