A: Is it prohibited to lie down (and fall asleep) on a commercial flight?

It's not even on the seats that people lay down, but even on the floor besides the entrance close to the toilet on the midnight flights. Possibly everywhere with not much disturbance to the passengers... But you have to be careful while walking. But I have never tried to lay down on the seats pr...

CopperKettle

@DamkerngT. I've seen it; a strange question.

Damkerng T.

I've never lain down on the floor in a flight myself!

nods

CopperKettle

On the floor? No way. Probably if the flight is private.

Damkerng T.

I went down to sleep (not very happily) on the floor of a train once.

I was very young back then.

CopperKettle

It was a crowded train?

Damkerng T.

11:05 AM

It was, and we bought only cheap tickets!

I loved to travel on a train in childhood. It took 3 days to get from Siberia to the Black Sea, and you saw a big, big stretch of the country en route.

Damkerng T.

Oh, Russian trains are quite charming!

CopperKettle

And in order to reach Crimea, the train was put on a ship!

Cardinal

Hi guys

Damkerng T.

Wow!

CopperKettle

11:07 AM

And you could walk out of the carriage and walk along the ship's deck.

Damkerng T.

Yes?

CopperKettle

Hi, @Cardinal!

Damkerng T.

@CopperKettle The ship must be very, very big! (or very long)

Cardinal

Yeaah

Damkerng T.

CopperKettle

11:08 AM

@DamkerngT. Yes, but passenger trains are usually much shorter than ... hm.. freight trains

So it fit onto the ship allright. (0: Onto the train ferry.

Damkerng T.

Iran is quite big too!

Cardinal

But, Russia is very big ! :D

It is really cool !

CopperKettle

But about 85% of its territory is empty. Too cold, too far. (0:

Too cool to live (0:

60% of territory is permafrost

Permafrost

In geology, permafrost or cryotic soil is soil at or below the freezing point of water 0 °C (32 °F) for two or more years. Most permafrost is located in high latitudes (in and around the Arctic and Antarctic regions), but alpine permafrost may exist at high altitudes in much lower latitudes. Ground ice is not always present, as may be in the case of nonporous bedrock, but it frequently occurs and it may be in amounts exceeding the potential hydraulic saturation of the ground material. Permafrost accounts for 0.022% of total water on earth and exists in 24% of exposed land in the Northern Hemisphere...

Jim Reynolds

Russia is big, but its leader is strong, like bear!

CopperKettle

11:28 AM

He is strong, but not in the brain, sadly.

Cardinal

Why copper ?

Jim Reynolds

O.O

Cardinal

Never Trust Americans , Britains

This is my idea !

CopperKettle

How should I know why? I'm not a psychiatrist. (0:

Jim Reynolds

Or maybe too strong in the brain, but I'm not sure his biggest interest is with the common Russian people.

Where are you from, Cardinal?

I'm guilty of being American.

Cardinal

IRAN

Jim Reynolds

Ah, Americans are not very smart with Iran.

I think I can understand you.

CopperKettle

@Cardinal But he helped me answer your question, so you'd better trust him, although he is American.

Cardinal

11:30 AM

what do you mean smart ?

I mean politicians

Jim Reynolds

Most Americans don't know anything about Iran. So we tend to have fear and a lot of misconceptions.

CopperKettle

For all we know, he may be Barack Obama in disguise. (0:

Cardinal

:D

But we have suffered from your politicians

very much

Jim Reynolds

Yes. Certainly.

Cardinal

We, does not mean Muslims

Means Persians

Jim Reynolds

11:33 AM

Though do you feel that your leaders and politicians are honest and trustworthy?

CopperKettle

America is an easy target to pin the blame upon for all kinds of local Czars.

Jim Reynolds

Everything is relative. Good-hearted people can have very different perspectives.

Cardinal

yep

Jim Reynolds

If we all just put our children together and give them love and support, I think they could find a better future than we have made for them.

Bye!

Cardinal

@JimReynolds nope, I don't think they are frank. but, I prefer them to America's allies, namely, KSA, Turkey, Israel, Qatar, ... . All terrorisits are Arabs, but they blame us !

It is not acceptable for us

although we are a weak country

Jim Reynolds

Well, there are all kinds of terrorists, I suppose. Terrorism is a tactic, not the characteristic of a particular group.

the unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

Terrorism can be widely seen as moral and justified, in some circumstances.

There are certainly American Christian terrorists.

I'm ashamed of America's "support" for Israel and I blame Israel (its government) for most of the problem: Their land-grab in the middle East and illegal occupation.

Q: Pronunciation of "negotiate"?

I was listening to a debate on the radio. There was a guest who was not a native English speaker. He was pronouncing the verb "negotiate" as "/nego'si'eit/". I supposed that he made a mistake but, when he used this pronunciation multiple times, I decided to search and came across with this thr...

I remember that an employee from HP always pronounced his specification as "spek-ci-fi-ca-son".

Q: Is there a noun/verb for the process of growing new leaves on a tree?

Deciduous trees shed their leaves (or defoliate) in the fall. What happens in the spring? I'm looking for words like bloom/blossom, but these refer to flowers, right? Are there similar verb/noun referring to leaves?

word-request phrase-request terminology

Frankly, I thought of "grafting" before clicking to read the question!

(Even though I didn't think grafting is really about leaves.)
