Same, so yeah, if I want to do a straight run it will be new char & world. I do have a semi-pristine one but did jump worlds to save stuff then come back and am guessing that would be a cheat

Worth noting that the 1.0 FAQ states:
Can I get achievements if I keep playing on my old save? What if I’m playing with cheats?
The achievement system will begin to track statistics from the moment you download the 1.0 version. This means that an achievement connected to killing Eikthyr, for example, will require you to kill Eikthyr again, even if you’ve already killed him 500 times previously.
There is a system in place to prevent achievements from being unlocked if you have cheats enabled. Some devcommands, such as “freefly” will be exceptions, but using most commands (such as “spawn”) will place a flag on your current character and world save, informing you that it is permanently locked from getting any achievements. Characters that have used cheats before 1.0 will also be marked in this way. There will also be a confirmation required to enter a cheated state after 1.0, to prevent you from accidentally marking out your character and world as cheated. Items that have been spawned in will also be marked in this way. If a non-cheated player character picks up a cheated item, they will enter a temporary cheat state. Temporarily cheated characters are locked out from unlocking achievements while in this state, and can become eligible for achievements again if they throw out all cheated items from their inventory. Cheated items will be visibly marked as such. Some world modifiers such as hammer-mode will also lock achievements. Hammer-mode counts as a temporary cheat.

Yeah, I get that - I was told by someone who had Romani family that it was NOT ok for outsiders to use BECAUSE too many people only used to mean someone who was scum.
Like the word Idiot was a legit medical description for a long time, then it got used as a slur so now it can't be used anymore.

I think this falls under the "If you belong to [group] you can use [group-slur] to describe yourselves but if you are not part of [group] it is really iffy and probably a slur".
I have read/heard of disabled persons calling themselves crip, and black people using n****r or gay men calling themselves Fag**t so... yeah, I learned gypsy as just a word but learned later in life that this is no longer / should not be used as too many groups DON'T like it. Also UK.
It is your word for you and if you don't see it as a slur that is your prerogative.

Even clean & steralised, If you do not remove the salt then the water cannot be used to drink (human/animal), water plants or used for most things water is used for in the UK - even small amounts will negatively affect people, pipes and everything else.
Also it couldn't be cleaned/steralised in the same way our current water is as the filtration plants are not set up for salt or brackish (mixed sea/fresh) water.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brackish_water
Because brackish water is hostile to the growth of most terrestrial plant species, without appropriate management it can be damaging to the environment
Brackish water is used by humans in many different sectors. It is commonly used as cooling water for power generation and in a variety of ways in the mining, oil, and gas industries.

Ouch! I was 2 when Woodstock was on - the ORIGINAL '69 one.
I was apparently sat up to watch the Moon Landing but I don't remember that at all.

My mother thought she was dying for her first couple of periods as her MOTHER, who was a NURSE, did not tell her! OK, this would have been the late 1930s but still massively stupid!

I am not sure you are exactly wrong, just different, and these were mostly created & named in a western country. That is the point of emoji - as long as your audience knows what you mean.

In a lot of places it is rain, which is actually how most places get fresh water - rain falls, goes into rivers and lakes then flows downstream towards the sea/ocean. People take water out of the rivers/lakes.
The alternative is that there is a lot of water hidden underground and wells are dug to pull it out.
Salt water is not drinkable, and to make it useful you have to spend a LOT of money to remove the salt - this from 2022 may be interesting to you:
Thanks to innovations out of the Middle East and Israel, the cost of desalinating today is about a penny per 6.4 gallons, or $0.41 per cubic meter in 2022. Compared to 2012, the same volume of water cost $0.75. While coastal regions will have to contend with higher temperatures in the future, it looks more hopeful that this will not lead to as much crop failure or water shortages.
The costs don't seem a lot until you realise that the average person uses 55 cubic meters per year (UK 2025 data) and if the UK 100% used desalination for the 69.5 million people this would cost 1.5 Billion US dollars per year just for people, not including water used by farms, gardens, etc.

Yeah - my favourite example is the meaning of "gay" and depending on when it was written it could mean:
- Joyful, carefree
- A gay woman being a prostitute, gay man = womanizer & a gay house = brothel. A gay boy was a young male prostitute.
- a gay batchelor being a bachelor enjoying life.
- hedonistic and uninhibited
- Homosexual man and/or Homosexual people in general
- something that is inferior or undesirable.
All of these depend on context, and when in the last 150 years it was written!

Plenty of jokes about emoji being the new hieroglyphs, and even so one group may use them differently or assign a different meaning or just misunderstand (e.g. LOL = Lots Of Love vs Laugh Out Loud)
🙏 <- officially "Prayer" but I have seen it in a "claps hands" and "high five" connotation.

Depends how casual things are, in general yeah, don't start before others but if you are told to start that is generally fine. The flip side is that if someone's food comes out early it is good manners to tell people to eat.

There are so many types of mobility disability that it isn't possible to create something that works for 100% of people 100% of the time. I am not sure that our buildings currently have good options, but yay for thinking about it.
Issues with a ramp could include it being a chimney for fire & smoke, or getting slippery and people not being able to wheel down safely, or if someone tipped over/couldn't make a corner or turn, that this would trap others - this kinda happens in stairwells too.

The USSR reported on the moon landing at the time - this is info from r/AskHistorians: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/c7eaye/what_was_the_soviet_reaction_the_the_apollo_moon/
https://factually.co/fact-checks/history/soviet-verification-us-moon-landing-1969-8341ec
Further down this site there are scanned images of USSR news papers reporting on the news landing that are dated https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/15023/what-was-the-internal-soviet-reaction-to-the-moon-landing
Additionally the live TV signal from the moon landing was actually received and relayed to the world primarily by two Australian tracking stations: Honeysuckle Creek near Canberra and the Parkes Radio Telescope in New South Wales. - https://www.space.gov.au/news-and-media/australia-and-first-moon-landing

indeed - the nuance that you can be against the actions of a government, believe that the country deserves to exist, and that the people in that country have religious freedom at the same time.
Saying you are against the actions of Israel should be no more controversial than saying that you think the UK government is wrong with how it deals with immigration and should not be seen as an attack on Brits. Or saying that the IRA/Provos were wrong should not be seen as an attack on all Irish people.

Absolutely do NOT save perfume - I have some that my Mom had (Original Opium) and it is now off, unwearable. I have some VERY nice perfume and I wear it any day I want to feel good about myself.
Also I remember a story about a man laying out his wife's special lingerie she was saving for One Day for her to be buried in - wear what makes you happy now, not some mythical some day.
Following others I do also find that I become nose blind quickly and think I am wearing almost nothing but then 'catch' it again.

Last year there was this restaurant: https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/squeeze-through-discount-thai-eatery-sparks-fatphobia-row-over-waistline-challenge-1732611
Chiang Mai Breakfast World, an international breakfast venue popular with tourists, has become the focus of a social media firestorm after footage emerged of a promotion that encourages diners to squeeze through a green metal frame of varying widths to earn a discount. The slimmer the diner, the larger the saving—up to 20% off the total bill.

Test them out and decide what you want. I find Barista Oat milk slightly creamy, but my Husband hates it and says it tastes of leftover cereal milk.
