Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do foreigners still have to pay sales tax (in the US) when they are only visitors?
2·1 month agoThere are countries who have tax refunds when visitors are leaving (basically reclaiming VAT whilst at the airport), they have already purchased the goods with VAT paid but gets refunded upon them departing.
The UK used to allow VAT refunds for tourists, but Great Britain stopped doing it a few years ago. Now tourists pay the VAT just like residents do. Northern Ireland still allows it (for non-EU residents, I believe.)
“Thong” is also a word for flip-flops in English (US), but I don’t think the younger generations use it.

I’ve always liked Van Gough’s work.
Last year I got to see his Sunflowers painting in person at the National Portrait Gallery in London. I didn’t even know it was there when I decided to go to that museum, it was a pleasant surprise.
When I make French toast, I add a little bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom to the egg batter.

Now that I’m an adult and a parent, it’s Kermit.
I like to put cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom in my French Toast batter. Makes it extra tasty.

I’ve always liked that Fiona Apple named an album, “When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight And he’ll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring There’s no body to batter when your mind is your might So when you go solo, you hold your own hand And remember that depth is the greatest of heights And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land And if you fall it won’t matter, cuz you’ll know that you’re right.”
It’s commonly referred to as simply, “When the pawn”.
