So you're saying it is possible then? That was my only hangup. I don't have a position on whether we have free will (leaning towards not) for the exact reason we can't prove it.

How would perceived irrationality be counter to a deterministic universe? It just maybe seems irrational without all of the information, but is still perfectly part of the causal chain.
Everyone else read the last bit in the Mortal Kombat voice, right?
I want to agree with that post, as it's (generally) a point that bears repeating, but it's too close to a catch 22 that it undermines the point

Kicking myself for not seeing the purple connection earlier, as I was less sure of the rest while going through.
I get essentially the same, although not being familiar with the references makes some parts unclear.
I'm assuming Michaelmas is a name, but maybe it's a celebration (like Christmas) and the word term here is implying the author's feelings about it.
Same with the Chancellor part. What does sitting in the hall mean? It's an Inn, so not in official capacity then? Is it a metaphor or common turn of phrase?
Is Holbern hill steep? Or is it a famously gentle hill? The use of "wonderful" here tripped me up at first too since it's so different from how we'd use it now.
What are chimney-pots? Are they just chimneys or something else?

Home bathrooms are single-occupancy, plus most people don't have the room. They're definitely beneficial for higher volume places as add much more capacity for less space, and act as an "express lane" of sorts.
In NA the stalls tend to be open above and below, never mind urinals which are just out in the open maybe with small "blinders" in between if you're lucky. Personally, I don't care, but I could see people being more shy in that situation.
In bars/clubs I imagine there'd be an issue of more people taking up stalls to hook up since you wouldn't need to be sneaky about entering/leaving the washroom any more, but maybe that's just trashy behavior that can't be helped anyways.

Luckily, the first thing I know about Madrid is the soccer team, and the rest clicked soon after. Snow conditions were a given (Canadian who can't ignore a pow day) and blue was just the leftovers.
