  • Strange use of the meme. The man pictured became a sensation because of his incredulity, not his sympathy or compassion. Using his image this way just feels amateurish or ignorant

  • It's not overthinking to question the usefulness of blatant disregard for functional systems. You're throwing away something that works perfectly well, and you haven't given a single convincing reason for it. That's not me overthinking, that's you failing to explain the violation.

  • The text is in English. That's why the text in the comic is written left to right. I understand that other languages read right to left, but those cases don't apply here.

  • Self-evident, but thank you. My question is about why.

    English media, including the media on the website you're reading right now, is arranged left to right. Adherence to this rule is what makes our language comprehensible. These grammatical rules are not impediments; they are the foundations of understanding.

    Violating them is done with specific purpose in mind. Anagrams are a puzzle in which the order of letters is scrambled, and the player must correct it. In this case the violation of the rule is a game, valuable because it provides enjoyment to the player.

    Although I appreciate your quick response, I am looking for a more thorough one. If this arbitrary and meaningless syntax violation has any redeeming qualities I'm not seeing them. But thanks again.

  • What's up with the incorrect sentence order? Letters and words are in the correct order but sentences are reversed? Why the inconsistency

  • Is it possible for a US citizen to open up a bank account in a foreign country and transfer money to it from within the US?

    Canada:

    1. TD Bank (Toronto-Dominion Bank):

    TD offers cross-border banking services, allowing U.S. residents to open Canadian bank accounts remotely. Their TD Cross-Border Banking program provides seamless access to both U.S. and Canadian accounts. TD.COM

    1. RBC (Royal Bank of Canada):

    RBC provides options for non-residents to open Canadian bank accounts. While specific details about remote account opening are limited, it's advisable to contact RBC directly to inquire about their current policies.

    1. CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce):

    CIBC offers cross-border banking solutions, including the CIBC Bank USA Smart Account, which is available to clients with an eligible CIBC (Canada) deposit account. This account is accessible to both Canadian and U.S. residents. CIBC.COM

    1. Scotiabank:

    Scotiabank's StartRight® program is designed for newcomers to Canada and may offer options for non-residents to open accounts. It's recommended to contact them directly to understand the possibilities for U.S. citizens. STARTRIGHT.SCOTIABANK.COM

    Considerations:

    Documentation: Be prepared to provide valid identification, proof of address, and possibly additional documentation to comply with Canadian banking regulations.

    Fees and Services: Review the fee structures and services offered by each bank to determine which aligns best with your financial needs.

    Yes, a U.S. citizen with no other nationality or immigration status can open a bank account in Canada or Europe without physically leaving the U.S., but the process varies by country and bank. Here are the key factors:

    General Requirements:

    1. Remote Account Opening Policies – Some international banks allow non-residents to open accounts remotely, but many require an in-person visit.
    2. Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Regulations – Most banks require proof of identity, proof of address, and sometimes tax information (e.g., IRS Form W-9 for U.S. citizens).
    3. FATCA Compliance – Due to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), foreign banks may require additional documentation from U.S. citizens, including tax reporting details.
    4. Residency Restrictions – Some banks may require a local address or residency in the country, though a few accept a U.S. address.
    5. Remote Account Options – A few banks in Canada, the UK, and Europe allow remote account opening through online banking platforms or by working with a local branch of an international bank.

    Possible Options:

    • Canada: Some Canadian banks (e.g., RBC, TD, Scotia) allow U.S. citizens to open accounts remotely, especially if they have a financial relationship with the bank’s U.S. counterpart.
    • Europe: Online banks and fintech companies (e.g., Wise, Revolut, N26) may allow U.S. citizens to open accounts remotely, but full banking services (like a local IBAN) may require proof of EU residence.

  • Two types:

    1. "Save state" like in video games or word processors
    • For saving state in current application
    • There is hard disc / cloud saving

    1. "Save file" like in web browsers
    • This is for creating a copy of a file you found and want to keep
    • There is hard disc / cloud saving

    In both cases you will want to signify saving to disc (this could look like a thick round disc) versus saving to the cloud
