The trunk was once a trunk like you’d find in great grandma’s attic, bolted onto the back of the carriage. I don’t know where British English gets “boot”.

The English call it a “boot” for the same reason they call a windshield a “windscreen,” despite not being a screen: they’re dumb inbreds.

it's four parking spots and each one is literally where each victim was shot and killed (the massacre was in that parking lot) quote:In 1999, at the urging of relatives of the four students killed in 1970, the university constructed an individual memorial for each student in the parking lot between Taylor and Prentice halls. Each of the four memorials is located on the exact spot where the student fell, mortally wounded. They are surrounded by a raised rectangle of granite[119] featuring six lightposts approximately four feet high, with each student's name engraved on a triangular marble plaque in one corner.[120]

I didn't think I wanted to be buried but this "grave covered by bollards in a parking lot" idea is intriguing. To be clear I'm not willing to be shot in a parking lot to make it happen.

Bench scientists are sticklers about calling it a “glove compartment” because “glovebox” is the thing that protects you from the work/the work from you/gives out high fives.

But the NYPD strives each day to achieve a balance as we continue to work toward solutions." The police is striving each day to achieve a balance between breaking the law and not.
