Well, they're the most politically neutral country on the planet and they only use the military for self-defense, might as well protect their citizens and their well-being. :3

Do they know something the rest of us don't...?  😟

Also I just learned that Switzerland indeed has a navy (*), or at least a flotilla of patrol boats controlling lakes across the border.

(*) Being a country with no sea borders, it has in some circles become an in-joke about the "Swiss navy" as something that doesn't exist. Apparently you don't need access to the ocean to have ships.

^Ahhh!  Boats are too expensive as they are!, ... Maybe they oughta cut people some slack just this one time

Houses, summer cottages, luxury cars, caravans, motor homes.. all tend to have some form of yearly taxation. But anything that floats on water - nope, that is where the line has been drawn.

The dog tax in Sweden can be traced back to 1812, where it was in effect for a short period. Another attempt was made in 1861, and the last period of dog tax was between 1923 and 1996. Dogs used for farming reindeer (specifically, not all farming dogs), lab animals, service dogs for the blind, dogs used by the military, fire department, police and customs were exempt of the tax.

I don't know how up to date Wikipedia is, but it suggests dog tax still is in effect in Germany, India, parts of Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland (though not so much rest of the UK) and if I read the text correctly, also parts of the USA. California and Maryland supposedly have cat licenses?

We have a dog license administered by the city where I live. It's $10 annually.

O....

I first heard this expression in the lyrics of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical - Evita.  "Don't Cry for me Argentina"

"Dressed to the nines . . . at sixes and sevens with you"

@wongojack Exactly my first thought reading this update!

Pretty common saying over here. Never heard "all over the map" but we'd probably say that someone's "all over the place."

Been there. *gives hugs and dramatic emotional support* 

ueen, uest...that's all i can think of off the top of my head.

uiet

Now that's 90's af. :3

We use https://www.terro.com/terro-liquid-ant-killer when we've had ant problems, and it's always done a pretty good job for us.  Not the individual plastic traps, the bottle of liquid you manually put on small squares of paper.

+1 for the liquid bait that you drop on a paper or cardboard square. They also have a rectangular clear plastic trap with liquid bait that works as well, but might be a little safer if you have nosy pets or kids around. It's the non-liquid white or colored traps that don't work worth a darn in my experience. 

So atariland is shutdown for good?

Does the name Josh Hamblin ring any bells? They keep showing it on Good Day Oregon on Fox 12. The weatherman just said he had an Intellivision with Pitfall.

Gimme a Wendy's Dave's Double all day long.

You can find smaller cards online but those are typically slow and sketchy.

In the past,  I'd just load up on various sized SD Cards from eBay,...And I assume Amazon would work, but I also bought (slightly) smaller ones at WalMart... and maybe check Target?

True answer?  If those 30 stocks on the Dow ALL reach 0, (As in big American mega corps go broke), then the answer is:  Doomsday,  The Apocalypse, The Norse Ragnarok, Kali Yuga of the Hindus, Götterdämmerung, The Revelations of St. John, The End of Days, Twilight of the Gods, Armageddon, Extinction.

But what about his wort? That's what people are really interested in.

Whose wort?  Hog's?

That took me a minute. I had to read it 3-4 times to see what the prolbem was! 🤣

Gotta love Chinglish...

What I meant by "keys" was scales. Like the "key" of A sharp minor.

I could be wrong, (and I think you almost answered your own question)...but, I think it's just how they refer to them,  for the sake of a scale.     An analog equivalent might be to say in math what's the difference between subtracting 1 or adding a -1?  Same difference,  but multiple ways to get there.
