... As to getting a jump, I was the only driver I ever knew who had jumper cables in their car. It's a Canadian thing maybe.
Yup.I learned young that it you have cables in the car you don’t need to look for them when you need them AND you get to be the hero on occasion!
An adult student told me recently he binge watched a drama but set it to play at a faster speed so he could finish it sooner. I mentioned this to my wife and she said she'd done the same thing in the past. It sounded totally bizarre to me, since I'd have thought you'd want a good drama to last longer, not shorter. Nevermind the way it would affect the action/speech. Why would anyone do that?
Why do so many ordinary restaurants in Korea get visited by TV shows (resulting in those ugly banners that they display outside, with pixellated screenshots of someone slurping a bowl of noodles)?
... but then how can you take it seriously? Especially if it's a drama? I can't imagine being able to enjoy, say, a romance drama if everyone is talking like chipmunks. Or is it not that bad?
