When a fish bites your heel and it looks like an eel, that's a moray!

Also really depends on the frequency and reason. Did something go horribly wrong once and does this one-time effort fix it or gives enough time for a decent solution down the road? Sure, I'll put in some extra work. Don't look for me though when it's resolved, I'm on holiday with all the overtime I should've gotten. If it's a structural problem because management wants to squeeze as much money out of their employees and refuses to hire enough people... Fuck that. And yeah, corporate uses the first thing as an excuse, luring you into staying longer "one more time, we really can't do it without you".

Yeah, I grew up with cats, my mom grew up growing and repotting aloe vera. Only my last cat decided she actually likes to nom them. Figured out that they were toxic when I went on holiday and brought my cat over to them. She came back with a swollen mouth and chin. Aloe has been banished, every single plant got googled and cat-approved (or thrown out/banished to outside).

It's rather unhygienic if you can't retract it and wash under it. Dead skin and other stuff tends to build up and form crusts.

Just wanted to know if you're still around?

Not OP, not from the US and never been in Japan but I travel a lot in general: always assume local currency, at the very least it's going to be cheaper and quite probably only very touristy places or airport only might accept $$. Here you can pre-order cash at your local bank and return any excess notes after. Exchange booths are usually a rip-off, and withdrawal abroad might cost extra, check with your bank.

Also don't assume people speak English. They might, but treat that as a bonus.

As a general tip: you usually have to apply for assistance beforehand. Doesn't mean it isn't shitty though, and if your train is delayed then and you miss a connection...

Only had ublock active, still happens. For now it still goes away on refresh or if I switch adblockers (so I'm assuming cleaning out the cache daily will work too).

Also, since when is Belgium two hours ahead of the UK? Are they drifting off towards the US?

Maybe for short times, but I've heard about dogs getting paralyzed at the groomers' from being put in a harness for too long. Veins get pinched. And that's with a harness meant for dogs, not something improvised like this.

No, that's another source of income.

Massive, won't melt, won't catch fire. Ceramic tiles would work just as well imho, though a tad lighter (which might actually be good, given the thickness of that shelf)
