  • In the secondary, new-age definition of “literally” yes that’s true.

    We lost the war for “literally”. It’s now just an emphasis word. The definition is mind bending:

    1)in a literal manner or sense; exactly.

    2)informal; used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.

    On the bright side less people use “absolutely” incorrectly than before.













  • The one that surprised me is Hooters. They were in Vienna, Budapest, and Prague just to name a couple places. There is a KFC in Venice. There are several Taco Bell in Barcelona including one across the street from La Sagrada Familia. You can see a Burger King and a Subway “sandwich” shop from the Eiffel tower.

    My travels in Europe surprised the hell out of me. Virtually every metro area is full of American trash food chains. The one cool thing is they sometimes have local variations on food. I ate at a KFC in Prague out of morbid curiosity and they had an interesting take on the spicy chicken sandwich.

    Exterior doors swing inward so firemen can break them more easily. This is a metal door that swings in; pictured from the outside. I assume this is a door to a dorm/apartment.

    In the second photo you can see the bottom dial for an electronic lock. That portion is the exterior piece. It free spins unless you press the correct combination prior.
