Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shaq is still playing? He's my age (b. 1972)! I kinda thought that basketball players expired a lot younger than that.

Yeah, these are going to be his last two years, coming off the bench, retiring at 40.

Question for the hivemind:

If you were in (for example) a European train station or airport, and needed to go to the place where you provide dollars and receive euros, what would you call that place?

A currency exchange counter, or something?

I was just wondering if I had to add "office" to the following bit of dialogue: "Is there a currency exchange here in the station?" (It's ufficio cambio in Italian)

I would say "currency exchange." (Without having read your post!)

I have no advice for you megan, I just know that if someone is learning Italian, they have to see this, because it's, like, the most Italian thing ever.

I have a hivemind question! Are these cute or stupid? Or both.
