  • I had an American house mate here in Australia. He maxed out a bunch of credit and got into trouble. Eventually he just left Australia and went back to the States and defaulted on everything.

    As far as I know nothing happened to him and the Australian banks couldn’t do anything. I mean from their perspective he just dropped off the map with no contact details valid anymore.

    This was around 2010.









  • Not sure if true but I did hear somewhere that a big part of the Roman changes were to make carving letters into stone tablets and buildings easier.

    It certainly explains using more straight lines in eg M and N. But maybe the flip also makes it easier to carve if you’re chiseling right handed? I’m imagining how I’d chisel a K.
