Back in my home country, we exclusively called them pickups. “Truck” was used for anything from box trucks to 18-wheelers. But the passenger vehicles with beds were called pickups, regardless if it was a Maverick or an F150. Took a while for me to adapt to calling them trucks in the US.

And ants. I see all the crawling things on the grass/ground when I do yardwork at home, how much more in an open field.

My gas bill is $48 and the actual gas I used is worth $2. The rest is fees and other stuff.

Went to a nearby island with my wife when we visited my hometown. It’s not exactly a tourist destination so there was like one hotel and we were the only guests. We just stayed overnight so we ordered breakfast at the hotel. I don’t even remember what it was anymore but I started feeling weird on the way back. I thought I was just seasick from the boat ride. Shortly after we arrived back on the mainland, I was alternating puking and pooping for over 2 hours.

The catholic church has been bleeding members for a while now. This is probably a “fellow kids” attempt to try to get younger people interested again.

An Air will probably be enough for your main task, but you should probably go with the Pro because of your secondary task.

Thanks for the review. I personally enjoyed the movie largely because of the dynamic between the 3 main characters, and the soundtrack. I agree on the runtime. They could’ve trimmed 15 mins and it probably wouldn’t diminish the movie in any way.

Ninja edits. A grace period where you can edit your comment without it showing it was edited. This is usually for typos and formatting mistakes that you notice right after posting your comment. A minute will do.

If I may ask, what food were the locals eating that you had to bring your own?

There are many people on lemmy who are very passionate and/or opinionated about certain topics. So when a discussion about that topic comes up, they tend to go hard on the comment section. Also, for some terminally online people, this is literally their only social space to express themselves.

He was very old and believed to be living beyond the years of a wild Croc

I might be mistaken, but aren’t crocs one of those species that just continue to grow and only die because of external factors or disease, and not old age?
