Once again we have the Big Brother house filled with people whose first language is apparently English, but in order to understand half of what is being said, I have to enable subtitles.
In the last Celebrity Big Brother, the only person with a proper understanding of English diction and grammar was a person who was born in India and had learned English, without ever injecting "like" or "you know?” into a sentence. Even more noticeable was that she actually finished sentences and didn't leave it hanging, unfinished, followed by "you know what I mean?"
I think BB is a good example to everyone just how bad the British education system has become, when our own people cannot even speak our native language. This time around it seems to have happened again. The only person I have no difficulty in understanding was born in Greece and has been taught English - Gerry, what a scholar!

My car manual calls for gas with an octane rating of 91. Most stations sell 87, 89, 93. I have heard the higher the octane the cleaner it will burn but less mpg, and vice versa. Performance car- 07 Subaru WRX (Turbo). Should I go over or under?

We thought it was a wart, but it definitely isn't. It's smooth, round, and pale. Sometimes it bleeds a little bit. It started out with him just losing his hair in a tiny spot, then the growth just continued to grow. It started 2 weeks ago and it's currently a little bigger than a pencil eraser. Does anyone have any ideas about what this could be and what I should do. Seriously, please. My dogs are very important to me :)

Clearly, unlike what we're shown, they really don't need a battery nor the sun ( exclusively ) as a light source. Any light source will do. It will produce voltages in any number of configurations equalling any internal combustion engine. Think of it, one cell lasts twenty years. Your initial outlay is a one time thing.

I've been scoping out YA on the politics front and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of questioning going on.
Usually, somebody with some pretty strong polical beliefs asks a leading question, such as "why do [conservatives/liberals] have to [do something that the asker feels is completely stupid]?"
Often times the "best answer" to these types and other political questions are not ones that challenge the asker's beliefs or get the asker to consider the other side in a new light but are rather along the lines of "I'm totally with you, bro."
It is mathematically impossible to be right, all the time. So sometimes liberals are wrong and sometimes conservatives are wrong, yes? Both camps have some good values and some not so great values, yes?
Does anybody feel that it's pretty insane the way conservatives just go after liberals, or vice versa, as if they are one big group and dismiss anything this other camp offers?
What does this mean to our democracy?

I'm going to be a firefighter/Paramedic just like my parents. I got about 2 years left till I start my training and I'm currently a volunteer.
In Portsmouth, Virginia, they start at 50k a year and Virginia Beach starts at 56k a year, for FF/EMT-Ps.
Looking at the cost of living in Virginia and North-east North Carolina, Is 50-56k enough money to live well. I'm not asking for much, I just want a decent size house in a good neighborhood and a nice car like a Mustang.
I also plan on doing ER technician part-time, and that will put my total pay at 75k a year.
Is 50-56k a year enough?

My Dr told me that they can not write off uncollected medical accounts on their taxes. This does not seem that it would be true since they are professionals providing a service and the debt is noncollectable.

An old lady was becoming lonely, so she decides to go to the pet store and buy a companion. The clerk suggests a parrot, as they can be taught to talk.
She takes the parrot home, and tells it, "Say hello."
The parrot replies, "SHH**T!!"
The old woman is shocked and says, "If you say sh*t again i'm putting you in fridge!! Now....say 'Hello'"
"SHH***T!"
The parrot is in the fridge, shivering with cold.......
The old lady takes him out and says, "There! Maybe now you've learned your lesson! Say 'Hello' or you're going in the freezer."
"SSHH***T!"
The parrot goes into the freezer. He shivers and sqwaks, trying to keep warm. He turns around........and then everything is silent.
The old woman is kind of worried and so she takes him out.
The parrot says, "I am so sorry for the rudeness that I have shown you, dear dear master. But may I ask you one thing please......?
What did the turkey do?"
