That style probably won't fit in a window throughout much of Europe. Portable A/Cs can be used with a window adapter, but I think they're usually more expensive. Also the efficiency tanks.

It may depend on the topic. In my interactions it's generally seemed like nuance is appreciated, with some caveats.

Politics are a thornier subject. Starting from common ground, before moving to the area of disagreement helps. It's important to know your audience and have some idea of how the community feels. I think my typical instance may have severed ties with the more firebrand instances, which probably limits hostility.

It's not terribly different from tackling more sensitive subjects in person.

It may have even been a prompt to send one for the gas. That seems a bit indirect for Dutch, but Dutch directness sometimes seems to take surprising forms.

It does look like a pretty neat calque. I hadn't noticed that the -oline ending was likely related to oleum.

I've definitely been there quite a few times. I can get by romantically, but sometimes I just don't have the energy. Finding someone you mesh with can be exhausting.

I have a handful friends of varying genders who seem to be in similar boats. I can't be sure as I haven't asked. It seems like the current options are inadequate for a good chunk of people.

Does it also suppress inline images from others? Because that sounds real nice

Over the past 7-ish years more and more states have legalized online sports gambling. There was a longstanding law that essentially forbade it in most states. It was struck down at the start of this rush.

It could be part of a gradual decline as a result of that

Haven't done Ubik yet, but I loved a Scanner Darkly. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep didn't really appeal to me either. It's got a bunch of cool stuff, but doesn't really manage to tie any of it together in a satisfying way.

I think I've been saying rooves my whole life. I don't think I'd generally write it that way, but it feels more natural to say.

If I have, I'm not sure anyone's noticed. My speech patterns are odd though, so it might not be terribly noticable. It's also possible I've never had to say the word. It's not common that you need to pluralize roof.

Exactly. If you've got a head for remembering Latin, i.e. is id est, so you can try swapping "that is" into the sentence to see if it sounds right.

E.g. is exempli gratia so you can try swapping "for example" in for the same trick.

If you forget, avoiding the abbreviations is fine in most contexts. That said, I'd be surprised if mixing them up makes any given sentence less clear.

I.e. is used to restate for clarification. It doesn't really relate to the other two, and should not be used when multiple examples are listed or could be listed.

E.g. and ex. are both used to start a list of examples. They're largely equivalent, but should not be mixed. If your organization has a style guide consult that to check which to use. If it doesn't, check the document and/or similar documents to see if one is already in use, and continue to use that. If no prior use of either is found, e.g. is more common.

Maybe function first helps with cosplaying as rural. People get very up in arms about frame type. The twice yearly sedanfull of potting soil is incredibly serious.
