I've mostly heard 'yanks' in English. I don't know if Japanese slang specifically has a word for USian foreigners as most situations don't really care about which country and, if more specificity than 'foreigner' is required, it's usually going to be some adjective/descriptor (loud, rude, skin_color_here, etc. in the case of people being those things).

Unfortunately for my sanity over here in UTC+9, I can't just sleep through the whole thing. I'm hopeful that work will be busy enough tomorrow that I won't have time to think about it. What I also know is that it's most likely going to get drawn out longer, so I won't likely be specifically watching anywhere, but just picking up occasional US news somewhat accidentally along the way (either here or via fark). I voted as soon as I could print my overseas ballot and get it in the mail so I've done all I can do.

Add me to the team that at least almost never adds sugar to any pasta sauce. In very rare occasions, I might add a tiny bit of honey, but I can't remember the last time I did that.

I didn't have a car for a few years and the one I had was 2003 (with a slight stint from a similarly-aged car during a couple-month time I had to drive). I now have a car again and I HATE that my heat/air and such are all flat against the panel (not a touch screen, though). I literally can't adjust anything without looking in my current car. Thankfully, I avoid driving it whenever possible.

I've always liked the name Ruben for some reason and only ever known one that I can recall (whose brother was called Robin).

I also am partial to Ezekiel and they can have Zeke as a nickname which I think sounds pretty rad.

LORD vs Lord does hold some distinction in the source material. IIRC LORD is for uses of the divine name whereas the other ones are not. But then you have the whole, El, Elohim, tetragrammaton, god, lord, etc. mess with them probably not historically referring to the same entity to begin with, but that whole book is a mess.

Expected treasure, but safe contained a live panther; would not buy again.

apologies to XKCD

I hate to be a killjoy, but it'll clearly be a single deposit layer dated to on or after the latest date-able item. The fill will all be the same and its own distinct layer against the rest of the area. If you have a long enough time to keep it open, want to dig more, and have different fills, you might be able to accomplish something, but the different fill materials would likely have no real match in the surrounding still making it obvious.

Mid-40s: it feels fine. It both complicates and un-complicates various things for later in life, but that's life.

I do like kids, but never wanted my own (at least biologically; I never fully ruled out adoption). We have nieces and nephews we can spoil instead of our own, heh.

generally one at a time, sometimes 2 if I decide to grab a cup of coffee.

Oh, I wasn't even thinking about places that changed time; I thought it was something just related to winter itself, hence the confusion. Thanks!
