      Depends on where you live. There are probably more walmarts that dont sell guns than ones that do. And it doesnt matter who is selling the guns (walmart, academy, gun store, etc ) if the regulations around sales are the same for each. The requirements to buy a gun from walmart were the same as from academy, so whats the difference?

    Well this wasn't very well researched. We have war reenactments, free refills and it's not that crazy that people can learn to drive a couple of years earlier. The thing that British people find most insane about America is the fact that you can't drink until you're 21

We get the bill and it's like 11 Coca Colas and we were like what????? there's only 5 of us. And the waitress explained that we had ordered 11 cans of Coke and we explained that in America refills are free and we didn't know this. Not being Karens at all but she knocked it down to 5 total drinks.

      So you did get 11 cans but paid for 5 total drinks? Cuz if you did then that's your gain over somebody 's loss and it's just sad (and Karen-like indeed). The fact that you don't know something about the country doesn't give you a free pass. You should have behave properly and either pay for all 11 cans or take just 5 of them. If you didn't take all 11 in price of 5 then that's good. Sorry, a little bit hard to be 100% sure of what exactly happened from your comment.

      I have a kettle and it boils within minutes. Kettles aren't that rare in the states, its just not guaranteed that everyone will have one. We also have stovetop kettles which take longer to boil, but I kinda miss the whistle. And it's not a huge deal to not have one if you have a stove and a pot, you can boil water. Most of my friends have at least one kettle and we all live in the US.

I’ve lived in the UK for all 26 years of my life and I’ve not once gone into a home without a kettle (electric) in it, and I’ve never once seen a home with a stove kettle in it.

      @@stevie It's for a mostly simpler reason. A side effect of androgenic hormones in male development is larger hands ("man hands"). The same process results in larger feet, as well. By making a women's size 8 2cm smaller than a men's size 8, this corrects the bell curve such that roughly same percentage of men and women end up wearing a size 8. When manufacturing shoes, you then need to make the same number of men's size 8s that you do women's size 8s. This simplifies planning and procurement for the manufacturer.
