    I am the person who knows where to get on so that I am at the ideal spot where the doors align with the stairs to get off of the platform at my stop. This can be the difference between catching or missing the next train.

    I don't know about American bread specifically, but good bread shouldn't die, mold, dry out in less than a week, or longer, and you should be able to revive it with some water and a few minutes in the oven. I can't say this applies to most Dutch bread, which literally rots before the veggies. There are some nice Belgian style bakeries though, and more and more youngsters entering the profession of bakers recently. Let's hope it brings us better bread than the stokbrood or than those horribly soft sandwich loaves.

    Lack of good bike lanes in America has nothing to do with tax revenue, and everything to do with culture.

    The true reason why this is a bad example is because bike infrastructure is one of the cheapest kinds of infrastructure. And shut up about road tax being proportionate, every government can balance how they raise overall tax and don't have to spend all road tax on road infrastructure or limit the road budget to the money raised from road tax.

    In the olden days, property tax was being calculated based on the width of the building. Hence the narrow stair case as it was considered waste of money to make them wider, as it would mean would mean more property taxes.

    Sleeping with your windows open is important for your quality of sleep. Not enough oxygen for 2 people in a small bedroom. Also: it has nothing to do with heating your house, at night you dont have heating on. The thermostat of the central heating is usually in the living room, so it wont turn on from fresh air in the bedroom. For cold weather we have pyjama's and bedsheets 😅
