Boarding passes (plane ticket) list both the gate and your assigned seat. In this case, it was probably a larger airport with multiple terminals labeled A, B, C, etc., so the plane was at gate 3 in terminal C (hence; gate C3). This was confused with the seat assignment, which is always labeled A, B, C, etc. (for the row) and 1, 2, 3, etc. (for the column). Seat map example
Here’s an example of a boarding pass, notice the gate number on the left and seat number on the right, both in the same letter-number format

Indeed. A lot of people spend more on coffee every day. 15 grand looks like a lot, but as mentioned, it’s over a span of almost two decades.

Some very rough math puts a single shot of Polaroid film in the mid 1980s at $2.5 ($14 for a twin pack of 20 shots total; $14 adjusted to tosay is ~$50, 50/20=2.5), adjusted for inflation. $2.5 a day (in today’s dollars) doesn’t seem extravagant, but yeah, any daily cost over 20 years is going to add up.

To clarify, people diss on him for ‘acting black’ but being light-skinned enough to look like just a white dude.

There was one in Guam in 72, one in the Philipines in 74 and reportedly two in the jungles of the Philipines in the 90s.

There were Japanese soldiers still ‘fighting’ into the 1970s as they were unaware Japan had surrendered 30 years prior. Luckily none of these soldiers died or were wounded (most hid out and raided supplies to stay alive) but still, they essentially threw away their best years hiding from an enemy in a war that’s been over for decades.

I mean, that’s not new in war. Until a cease fire is official, anything’s fair game.
Take WW1 for example. Over 2500 people died after the armistice was already signed, because the cease fire didn’t apply until 11am.

Ignorance, I’d presume. Someone who doesn’t understand really understand how air actually works (likely someone uneducated and poor - this myth predates South Korea’s prosperity by a lot) tells it to their friends who also don’t know how it really works, and so on. If everybody else around you tells you something, it’s very likely you’ll just accept it without skepticism.

They think the air being moved is effectively a vacuum, meaning where the air is sucked from loses its air. If you have a fan pointing outside, that means that slowly enough to not make you realize it, you’re removing the air and eventually that would lead to suffocation.

Oxygen is the third most abundant material in the universe. It’s made at the end of the helium fusion process in massive stars, and our sun is 0.9% oxygen by mass.
There’s oxygen on Mars and Venus too, but in insufficient quantities to support the oxygen cycle. The fact that we have the oxygen cycle (part of that being photosynthesis) is why Earth has a much higher amount of oxygen, but it’s not the only source of it.
