Ah, that’s right, Sint Maarten and that crazy runway, that’s definitely worth a visit.
A related but not very fun fact; “Sint” means angry, in Norwegian, and double A is how you write the letter Å (if you don’t have access to a keyboard with that letter) and Å is pronounced like the O in the Scandinavian name ‘Morten’, and so Sint Maarten sounds very much like “Angry Morten” to a norwegian, and a Dane.
Yet another reason to visit.
I’m that generation, too. Well, to be frank, I was 19 when Goldeneye hit the big screen, so I suppose I was already grown up? Although, considering how much I’ve changed, I guess not…
I just finished watching that show, and it is in part what made me decide it’s about time I explore the Caribbean.
I’ve been to southern Florida, and Key West, a couple of times and I suppose I’m looking for more of that feel/vibe.
Ooooh, nice! Thanks!
Thank you oh so much, this means a lot, it really does. Grenada just made it onto the list.
Thanks, everyone, for all the advice! I have to say, it’s pretty friggin’ cool to post a question like this and have so many people chime in :)
I’ll keep you in the loop on where I end up, and what I end up doing!
Probably a result of turning wrenches since I was first able, but that rule, to me, feels akin to “up the stairs take you up, down the stairs take you down”.
The toilets/restrooms at restaurants (or at least many fastfood restaurants?) are often shared and used by both employees and customers. It grossed me out a bit a bit at first, especially as they are, in my experience, quite often pretty filthy. So all the nastiness customers drag in could potentially be picked up by employees.
I’ve been to BKs and Wendys’ where I left the establishment as soon as I entered, just because the whole place looked and smelled like somewhere you shouldn’t eat. I suppose these were more often than not in pretty rural areas…
While on the toilet topic, I’ve found public restrooms at e.g. gas stations and shopping malls to often be, uh, less than inviting. I think I’ve seen more overflowing toilets on a 4 week vacation in the US than I’ve seen in 40 years over here, in northwest Europe.
To be fair, I’ve driven east/west at least 10 times over the years, so I’ve been to a lot of public restrooms and the bad experiences tend to stay with you for longer than the good ones.
Doh, two communities, but none for us who need it explained like we’re four. /s
They’re still on the air?! Wow… I read a lot about it (and Radio City) a couple of decades ago, as I was reading up on the Maunsell Forts. I had no idea they were broadcasting back then, so to learn they’re still on the air now is fun.
You might be surprised at how many people don’t really know how to use Google/a search engine effectively.
Things like “what should I search for to find X” is a sentence I hear from both friends and colleagues quite often.
I haven’t really played around with anything else since Sync for Lemmy was released, because I’m perfectly happy with it.
On many bottles I’ve encountered the ring that keeps the cap attached to the bottleneck has been quite loose, so you rotate the cap up/left/right, thinking you’re good to pour, then as you get going the cap slips back down, ensuring you distribute whatever you were pouring all over the the table.
“Fitte” is a norwegian word for pussy, so apparently that was all it took to get a giggle out of me today.

It’s disgusting how many things people can still do without being exposed to advertising.
Loudspeakers: Imagine how many speakers there are in the world, and how often they’re not playing anything. All loudspeakers should always play ads if not utilized for anything else.
Edit: I went hiking last weekend, and while out there the silence was deafening. Out in the wild, where it’s relatively quiet, we’d only need to place speakers every few hundred meters to efficiently broadcast ads to hikers and such.
Alternatively, just salad, just bowls, just wraps and just more.
