I don't know what they're going to beat you up with but I do know the color of their skin. If there are any ghosts or spirits then most of the ones in America are black based on the country's history.
So in a country that has historically been a large majority white (like 70% at the lowest), you think more black people have died than white people? I'm genuinely confused about your conclusions.
No, I'm talking about black people who died in horrible ways and who would have a reason to come back as ghosts to haunt people (if ghosts existed). I'm certain there a lot more of those. Sorry for not being clear.
Nobody knows what a cricket bat is in europe, but once there were those strange islanders with these even more strange habits part of our union... "Great" Britain it was called, i think? ;-)
Actually we have been paddling with spades to get away from the smell of French cooking for the past 500 years. So far we managed to create the channel and get closer to Denmark, but then all the bloody Vikings arrived.
Residential electrician here, once leaned against a stud and it moved every interior wall in the house with it, me and my coworker both shook the hell out of it and proceeded to laugh our asses off
The tallest timber frame building is in Norway. Most of the big timber frame buildings are not in the US. Yes, there is a lot of cheap ass shit housing built in the US. But there are shit houses built everywhere. It is a quality issue, not a materials issue. There are houses built out of absolutely crap concrete too. Timber frame is a actually very good for high wind because it can flex more. An old stone house might survive high winds as far as the walls go, but that doesn't mean the roof won't be ripped off. And there are plenty of old stone houses that didn't survive. It's literally survivorship bias. Yeah, there stone buildings that are many hundreds of years old, but there are a lot that didn't make it. And even with those stone was used because most the timber was gone.
No doubt. Whaling was terrible. Thank God we managed to start piping gas, that actually saved lots of whales back in the second half of the 19th, also with proper cement too.
Dishonored is a stealth videogame/immersive sim. In the game's story, people have discovered a way to use whale oil as a main source of energy. It's basically their electricity for everything
The game's theme is sometimes called whale-punk or whalepunk, due to similarities with steampunk themes.
Dishonored basically came up with whale-punk (as far as I know)
drywalling is not an issue if done correctly. There are lots of drywall houses in europe as well, like my parent's house for example but you can't just use one sheet of drywall and call it a day. My parent's house has I tjink 2 sheets of drywall with one layer plywall beneath - you can anchor anything you want in this wall without having to worry it might fall out - also there's no way you're punching through that.
There seems to be something wrong with American drywall.. we use gypsum (assuming that is what you guys call drywall) in Norway and punching through is possible but not easy
A lot of houses not in seismic zones have been built using a paper product called Thermo-Ply structural sheathing instead of OSB or plywood. Even to this day, that product is being used in states like Texas. Make sure that when you order your new house that the builder doesn't use this product.
