When people talk about "listening to the radio," what are they looking for? Ads? Annoying hosts? Unskippable songs? I'm not being facetious, I honestly do not get it.

It’s kind of great that North Americans finally got around to sparkling water being a normal thing to have at gatherings and stuff, even if it’s Bubly

Aside from two people, every person that one might consider to be a friend of mine is a relationship built on another relationship. If those other relationships end, I don't know how long the friendships would last.

What format are your kids' school-provided email addresses?
Something reasonably guessable or with random numbers, etc?

Doing some research for work. Do share the format if you wish.

I don’t think I can take seriously anyone who has the knowledge of how to use an em dash properly but lacks the knowledge to type it
