Privacy fences are extremely popular in America. Ours is 6 foot and wraps the entire backyard

[@mbourque]

yup. we have a 12 foot one that is both front and back yards, but we live in a mostly rural area and outside the local city limits. but that's only on the acre the house is on. the other 9 acres just have a 6 foot chain link fence around it.

[@eTraxx]

It is common to see fenced in backyards

[@skyhawk_4526]

Depending on where you live in the US, I'd say it's almost unheard of NOT to have a fence around your backyard. This is because most suburban homes are tract homes where the backyard of one home backs up to the backyard of another home. The side and rear fences on a residential property are normally shared with the neighbors to the left, right and rear of the property. As such, these are often referred to as "good neighbor fences" since maintenance and repair costs are often shared by the owners of both properties that the fence separates. If one neighbor refuses to share the cost of replacement, then the other neighbor can replace it entirely at their own expense, but when that happens, the non-paying neighbor can lose all rights to the aesthetic design of new fence.

[@vwager]

I grew up in the Boston suburbs... it is not common to have fenced in yards. Even in new subdivisions. Over the years people may put up bushes or trees between houses. Fences are typically for a reason, like a pool or garden etc. Now obviously there may be neighborhoods where fenced in yards are common. Not the majority of neighborhoods.

[@camryn_deja8968]

@@vwageryeah I’ve lived in 3 different neighborhoods in 3 different cities within South Carolina. All of the neighborhoods were open yards. No fences anywhere. For me, it’s quite uncommon to see a fenced backyard or front yard. The neighborhoods my relatives live in are not fenced either. This is just my experience though. I know it depends based on location or sometimes just on an individual’s preference.

No one thinks there should be a high-speed rail system connecting even Moscow with the rest of Europe -- much less a village in the Urals. Western Europe is a bit more than 1/2 the size of the US. And it has a much higher population density. The distance between Lisbon and Berlin is 1437 miles (by plane). This is approximately the distance between Little Rock, Arkansas, and Los Angeles. The distance between New York and Los Angeles is 2445 miles (by air). The US is much too large and has such a low population density that it would be insane to try to build a high-speed rail line throughout the US.

Beesleys, early American history lesson: the earliest English settlements in what is today the United States (meaning in the original 13 colonies because there were already Spenish settlements elsewhere in places that later became part of the United Staes) were: Roanoke, North Carolina in 1584, whose settlers disappeared without a trace; Jamestown, Virginia in 1607, which was able to survive because of the tobacco cash crop; Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620, where the English Puritans settled after a stay in Holland.

11:11 basements in the U.S. are typically the same 'footprint' of the house (minus the garage). it can easily be smaller, but almost never larger than the floor plan of the house above it. some open out to the yard (especially when the house is on a hill), some just have windows. Some are 'finished', some are 'unfinished', some are part both. the 'finished' parts are usually space for the family. bedrooms, living/entertainment room, kids' playroom, ect... while the 'unfinished' parts will usually be where the mechanical stuff for the house will be (heater, water heater, air blower, house water filter, ect.) or just used for storage. and if it's 'finished', it will typically have a 1/2 bath (water closet) with just a sink and toilet.

[@Gloren50]

Our house isn't nearly as big or as opulent; it was built in 1929. It's in an old inner city neighborhood in Portland, Oregon (the old Polish neighborhood when American cities were segregated by race and ethnicity) . There's a basement, which was unfinished when we moved in, but we renovated/remodeled and put in a laundry room, bathroom, sleeping area and 'living room', which we refer to as our 'man cave'. We also re-purposed a storage room as a wine cellar and a second storage area is now my spouse's brewing storage area. He brews beer and wanted a brewing and keg storage space in the remodel. With the finished basement, there are three floors, each about 75 sq meters, three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. But it is a pretty old house from design to construction to style and there is no resemblance to anything as modern or as large as the house in the video. In fact, it's called 'English Style', which was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Where I live a house like in the video would be somewhere around $1.5 to 2 million, and stylistically would only be found outside of the city in newer sections of the suburbs. And the property size is incredibly big. There aren't many suburban neighborhoods with lots that big in the Portland metro area. It's sort of a reminder how different and diverse American metropolitan areas are from each other.

[@skyhawk_4526]

As others have said, Mascarpone cheese is quite sweet and soft. Think of cheesecake filling. That's essentially the flavor profile, so it would actually go well with something sweet like Nutella or chocolate.

[@SB-jd6zh]

I find it odd that in all these videos, there are limited fenced back yards when literally every home I've ever seen in the US is fenced

[@philipem1000]

French Toast calls for Maple syrup. That's amazing. Basements are common in cold areas of the US because you need the house foundation to be at least four feet below the surface to get below the frost line to avoid upheaval of the foundation. They also made sense in the old days as a place to store coal and a coal-fired furnace. So you find these in the Northeast and across the Midwest where winters are very cold. If they are deep enough people finish them these days and the furnace is gas fired and fits into a little closet someplace. I live in Tucson where basements virtually never exist, the ground is extremely hard to dig up and there's no reason to do so; foundations are "slab on grade" an 8 inch reinforced concrete slab with 18 inch deep footings at the edges. Land is cheap so you don't need multiple stories; my furnace is a heat pump on my roof that gives me heat and A/C so no need for a basement. In Tucson nearly every home has a concrete block wall around the back yard for privacy and that's where you build your patio, pool, or other outdoor living areas. Wood fences are not favored as wood is shipped in from other states and termites are an ever present concern. Cement block is made locally and is fairly cheap and lasts forever. While wood construction is cheaper in labor we have a lot of homes here that have masonry walls for the passive solar/thermal capacity and inside they are insulated and lined with wood and sheet rock.

8:41 you can virtually do or build anything on your own property. (there are some restrictions due to local city and county ordinances, but they're usually minor things and getting a permit mostly is easy and quick. You can easily build a fence or wall from short to very high with a simple trip for city hall for a permit and a quick review of the ordinances to see what the limits are. and once it's done, it'll need to be inspected to show that it was built correctly and won't interfere with a neighbor's property or fall down suddenly....

There are a lot of Irish people in Boston. That's probably why Irish breakfast is popular there.

[@skyhawk_4526]

Re: "Irish Breakfast" terminology. In the northeast of the US, there is a large population of descendants of Irish immigrants. While that looks pretty much like a "full English breakfast" to me as well, it's probably listed on the menu as an "Irish breakfast" because the two are essentially the same thing, but there are more customers of Irish ancestry than of British ancestry in the area. I noticed this too with Shepherd's Pie, which is often advertised in the US as "Irish Shepherd's Pie," despite shepherd's pie being a British dish. Since Ireland was ruled by Great Britain for a very long time, many traditional and originally British dishes became popular in Ireland, and Ireland (and Irish-Americans) seem to have "appropriated" as being Irish in origin. The same is true for the famous "corned beef and cabbage" which is probably the most popular "Irish" meal consumed on St. Patrick's Day in America, despite corned beef not actually being Irish, but more likely English. The corned beef and cabbage dish actually has its origins in late 19th century New York and is an adaptation of the true Irish dish "bacon and cabbage" which is made with back bacon which is a cut of bacon that is not commonly found in the US. But now virtually everyone, including most Irish-Americans (incorrectly) thinks "corned beef and cabbage" is an Irish dish.

[@tomlundberg2121]

When it comes to the fences/walls around American homes and properties in my experiences I've found that our "planned communities" generally have walls around their backyards and businesses at the very least for some privacy and security. What is a planned community? It's just an area like Continental Ranch in Marana AZ, or Patterson Ranch in Modesto CA for example, where everything has been (usually) carefully planned for housing, business districts, schools and whatever else. Since the homes and businesses are generally so close together in these areas they have the privacy block walls around them to help with prying eyes! These communities are seen throughout the US, but are huge in places like California, Arizona, and the big metro areas of Texas. Where communities that grew organically, you know the ones that just seem to kinda wander and the roads have lots of curves and hills and things. Those areas tend not to have the privacy fences because the properties are generally bigger and/or further apart from one another so the fences simply weren't needed. You simply couldn't see you neighbors anyway! So if you wanted to run around nude you where welcome to it and either your neighbors couldn't see you, where to polite to say anything, or where to busy laughing so say anything. But no, it's not uncommon to see those large properties without a privacy fence around the whole thing but instead to have a small area close to the house fenced off. Plus, have you priced fencing lately?! Holy crap! It would cost a small fortune to fence in a lot of properties I've seen thru the southeastern US!

[@JohnWilson-hc5wq]

Walls aren't very common, but fences are in some towns. Whether you can have one depends on your town's laws, which vary widely. In my town, you can have a fence up to 6 feet (1.8 m) unless your house is on a corner, then you are restricted to 3 feet (0.9 m) so as not to obstruct the view of people driving.

Public transportation in big US cities is generally quite good and reliable, but it's nearly nonexistent outside of large cities. Unlike the UK, passenger rail service in the US primarily serves as transportation from large cities to other large cities with smaller towns not having any train stations. Most small towns (unless they're remote) are served by county or regional buses but wait times at bus stops between buses can often be 30 minutes or an hour. This is one of the main reasons for the automobile culture in the US. Many in NYC or dense metropolises like Boston, San Francisco, Chicago, etc., can and often do get by without owning a car since taxis, Ubers, buses and trains or subways are plentiful. But if you live outside of a major metropolitan area, you really have no choice but to own a car and drive to work, school, shopping, etc. The smaller the town, the more this is true since you'll likely have to work and shop in a completely different town or city and the limited public transportation makes driving necessary. Also, whereas in large cities people of all sorts routinely use public transportation, this really isn't so much the case in more rural areas where pretty much the only people who use the buses to get around town or to go to nearby towns are the people who can't drive (either for competency reasons, poverty, addiction, or because their licenses have been suspended or revoked for criminal offenses). This makes riding the bus a pretty unpleasant experience for most since the regular bus passengers are usually not the type of people that most other people are comfortable being around.

In Boston things are more Irish. Being New England that is the area that was mostly first colonized by English settlers but post Revolutionary War anything English was mocked or the name changed by the New Englanders. For example I lived for a time in New London, CT. We have a river that ran through it called "The Thames River". It is pronounced just as it is spelled. Of course in London it is pronounced more like "Tim's". If you are in New London they insist on it being the "T H A M E S". That was basically to stick it to the Redcoats.

We always had a fence until we moved where we live now. We had wooden fences.

According to Tesla's website, the base model, Model 3, is selling for $35,000.00 (27,797.18 pounds/ 32,345.77 euros). Now, that's just the entry-level, no frills, get-your-foot-wet, Tesla. There are other Tesla's that can go as high as, $200K+ (158,846.00+ pounds/ 184,818.00+ euros). The type of job you would need comes down to many variables; such as your expenses, family size, etc....

I wonder if they know about takeout boxes for leftovers?

I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, a city called Lynn. Don't go to Lynn 😁

East coast is much better at public transportation, it seemed like as they started going west they just gradually gave up.

I've been to Boston but just for the weekend. One of my oldest friends lives there and my friend and I were visiting him.

[@neishann1]

Go to Boston in the fall. The colors are gorgeous. Boston has a lot of Revolutionary War period history. !750’s to 1800

[@patricequinn7733]

Charlestown,Lexington and Concord-very historical areas,

[@andrewgalindo6959]

Boston is full of history, I would love to visit someday. But I served with more than a few guys from Boston and all gave me the same warning. Boston is very very cold so you have to be careful. But I'd still like to visit.

You can get from NYC to California by train but it takes about 4 days. By bus even longer

[@ciscokid0110]

I’ve never met anyone with a Tesla and probably never will. We have no public transportation in our town unless you can hop on somebody’s car😂😂. Boston is very expensive. My brother-in-law lives in the suburbs.

[@amandaBlair334]

Hi. I’m Amanda. I have a Tesla. Now you’ve met someone. 😂

[@jimcathcart5116]

Most houses have fences in back yard we don’t need security walls

[@garryp.8451]

Tesla is just a regular car in Seattle, Vancouver and just about everywhere here in America. They're not that expensive here.

[@bzick405]

Personally I don't like being able to see a window from my window. any of them. Been there done that I prefer cabin in the woods.

[@ssmith548]

Boston is a great city to visit but I don’t know if you’d like living there unless you like brutally cold winters. That’s true of all the northeastern states.

[@MaryShearer-Brennan-gw8db]

Boston is very Irish

[@KNGSLYR1669]

could easily do an east coast historic tour in a week... DC Philly and Boston. wouldnt cost that much either

[@kevindunn5650]

Where I live all houses have fenced in back yards and open front yards

[@davisnanette]

You can get a bus to anywhere in the USA - it would be miserable because it would take several days. Trains go across the country also but you can rent a sleeper - but still miserable several days. Easier and quicker to fly. I have family members with Teslas and they are everywhere on the roads. The prices have come way down from what they used to be.

[@jeffhampton2767]

Some people love taking trains across the United states. When I was young we took a bus across the United States and it was not miserable it was just okay

[@TobyBaker-hz3rw]

Teslas.😂

[@JohnWilson-hc5wq]

Trains are way better than buses for long distance travel, and usually comparable in price.

Boston University has one of the top hockey teams in college athletics year after year!

Marscapone can be sweet when you mix it with powder sugar
