This was a very enlightening video for us European people, I was baffled to find out that Americans boil water on the cooker, like my grandmother used to in the 60s.

I have a 20€ limit on any game I buy, it has to be something I really want at that price too, mostly I won’t pay more than 10€ per game. My one exception will be Baldur’s gate 3, I will wait for the first sale, and get it at however that much that ends up being.

Electrocution is fatal, electrified is non fatal.

Correct, some sources do say that, in BrE we say electric shock, perhaps in AmE electrocution is a generic term, but that’s bizzare, the word is a amalgamation of electricity and execution, since when is execution non lethal? In french we use électrisé and electrocutes to make the distinction.

Never try to keep water out of a building using impermeable coatings, rubberised paint, ciment render, etc etc. A building MUST breath, even at the cost of some inward moisture during wetter periods, any water that will inevitably creap in,and even the moisture you create by living in the building,needs to escape, or I guarantee you will have mould and rot problems down the line. Water which can not escape from behind an impermeable coating is worse that no coating at all. I recommend a lime render for all building needs.

That sounds like the bitter expression of regret and experience.
