I recently learned this is called the Grocer's Apostrophe.

Years ago, a buddy got me going to his gym so he could show me the ropes. He'd been lifting most of his life and I really trusted him. It was the sort of gym where people go to do serious work. A lifter's lifting gym. Everyone there looked so serious and were pressing so much weight. I have never been that sort.
But they were all incredibly kind to me. Helped me when they thought I needed it. Never in a demeaning way. Any bad vibes I got from them was pretty much on me.
Those were really cool times. The gym would shut down about two years later and I haven't really gone to a gym since.
5500 yen. Console only, no accessories. I was blown away, figured I misread the label and it was broken. Nope, works perfectly.
Ooh, I actually bought one of these recently. Beautiful machine.
Adorable!
The clutch is a third pedal to the left of the brake which lets you disengage the engine and transmission so you can change the gear then let the pedal out, engaging the new gear.
With a clutch, the brake pedal is usually really narrow. So when you get into an automatic instincts will tell you to press the clutch and change gears but that pedal doesn't exist and the wide brake pedal is there instead. Instead of changing gears, you slam the brake.
References to Gayle will always make me happy.
I know there's a big joke about furries running the IT world but I know a huge number of them in aviation, too.
I should apologize, actually. As a young, young kid, my parents didn't explain it to me for a long time. As a teenager, they explained it was in reference to a "pap smear" which is a gynecological thing. But it's weird, you asking made me search it up. I'm not finding anything specific to England.
I think you just accidentally changed a story I've been telling myself for my entire life.
In my part of Appalachia, all grandpas in the family are "pap" which was very funny when my grandma married a man from England. He refused to let us call him that. For reasons.
How convenient; you won't be learning science! You'll be learning history!
Professors are burned and jaded so much by students taking advantage of their test taking policies that they fail to see when there should absolutely be an exception. Visible medical emergencies are certainly one of them. They should not only not be professors, they should be fired or arrested for endangering you. It's crazy that sort of thing can just happen, but it's absolutely realistic having been through it.
