ELI5: why is BRICS suddenly a thing and what is it?

I've always known BRIC to mean four countries, which may or may not have similar interests. Ok, add South Africa, that makes it 5 countries.

Until recently, I did not think of BRICS as a bloc or an organisation. What are they? What does it mean if a country seeks to join?

Don't think that's ever been a problem anywhere close to Paris climate. It's not that humid and it's not that hot. The difference between inside and outside climate is not that extreme.

And if humidity is a problem, you are dealing with mold, not actual wet floors. That is if the buildings are not well engineered and it would show in the long run, not during the gamee.

What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?

It bugs me when people say "the thing is is that" (if you listen for it, you'll start hearing it... or maybe that's something that people only do in my area.) ("What the thing is is that..." is fine. But "the thing is is that..." bugs me.)...

"What if she was gone?"

Not a native speaker. That's what I was taught. Subjunctive wasn't a thing in my English lessons. Common phrases like "I wish I were you..." were introduced as a non-standard alternative...

Just send them a GDPR deletion request by mail and they will regret not having an online flow (that's free, obviously). Do they operate in EU? No court will allow this fee and i doubt they risk a trial over 20 bucks.

unless it has some inertial navigating system or something.

Don't all commercial planes have this?

VOR

Thinking about it: This can also be manipulated by an enemy on the ground...

What a non-story.

They basically asked: In an ad, do you prefer an actor reading out the marketing script or a computer-rendered face?

Which is exactly why security should be on the executive agenda.
