I just found rooms (not in hotels) for around $40 a night. Flights won't be cheap from anywhere I guess

Reply to comment by AbleReporter565 in ELI5: Why does the order of adjectives matter? by AbleReporter565
There's a super simple way of checking this, and that's to just say the sentence without the other person.
"Me and Joe went to the park" becomes "Me went to the park", which clearly sounds wrong.
"Joe and I went to the park" becomes "I went to the park", which clearly sounds right.
A lot of people think "Come upstairs with John and I" sounds right because of the "I" but when you remove the other person it becomes "Come upstairs with I", which is clearly wrong, so it should be "Come upstairs with me".

My house is worth around $800k (5 bedrooms). I have about 25k in the bank. I haven't worked for years (mental health issues) but can comfortably live because I have lodgers in the house. I enjoy living with the other people so it works great.

Wild cats basically only meow when they're kittens. They have several types for humans and evolved to hit the same frequencies that humans associate with babies in need. They are playing us.

You're "in a country" but "on a bus".
When I started learning other languages I realised there's no logic to it in any language. You live "in" California but I think it should be "on", but if you said "I live on California" it would have a subtly different meaning.
I'm interested in what AI says is the most logical language when we explain Esperanto to it.

You can't really trespass in Iceland although there are some special caveats. If you're in a special place where, say, some special plant is being protected then you can be asked to move but Iceland is like most Nordic countries and you have a right to roam freely, even if the land is private. But you can't take the piss and set up a tent in someone's garden or annoy people, for instance. Nobody will shout at you unless you're doing something like fishing where you need a license or damaging wildlife.

"Black holes come in many sizes and their size depends on how much material is in them (their mass). Some are the remains of a giant star which collapsed. A star has to be much more massive than our Sun to become a black hole. These types of black holes are only a few miles across."

They call it a monster black hole at 12 solar masses?! The biggest one so far discovered is 66 billion solar masses so calling one with 12 is a bit weird. If anything it's not just small, it's tiny? The exact opposite of a monster. There are much more massive stars?

Reply to comment by Apprehensive_Age_384 in How and when did dingos arrive in Australia? by [deleted]
The islands above Australia (Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, etc.) were all connected to Australia recently enough that humans and dogs could just walk there.
Indians may have arrived 4000 years ago but other people arrived WAY before that. At the very minimum 50,000 years ago, but that's just the oldest we know about, so probably much longer than that.
Genetic studies show that Dingos arrived around 10,000 years ago, so a long time after humans.

That very much depends on how you define life though, doesn't it? Life isn't a "thing", it's a word definition made up by humans, and it can change. It's a bit like how there's no good definition of what a tree is, or if a bush counts.
Personally I'd say anything with DNA or RNA, that can replicate, is life.
