Ragu just means a meat sauce. Bolognese would be ragu alla bolognese, but there are other ragus which aren't bolognese.

Most countries in the world are "really metric countries". And yes we do use the cm a lot for measurements inside the 1-100cm range.

That is the kind of aggressive apatheist mentality which got the US into this situation in the first place.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is an American thing. As to why, well, you said it: "bitching about learning anything beyond you might as well be illiterate".

This way we can help them be healthier and study the effects better.

I would expect that to be the case in France. Other European countries have a wider selection to choose from.

You don't join the Trump team unless you are a self-absorbed asshole, so everybody there should be used to it.

I read all that and I must admit I am still not quite sure what part of all that is markdown, and why any of it is markdown.

I get that this sentence must be the key concept: "“Markdown” is the name of a particular standard way of formatting text so that programs can reliably interpret parts of that text as representing the writers desire for their text to be displayed a particular way." But it reads like a tautology without really explaining either statement.

They will claim to hate him (and Trump), and then keep on regurgitating propaganda constructed in favour of him.
