Rice. I know it’s common in Asian countries but absolutely not where I’m from.

I’m a francophone and tried to explain that France is not “dépaysant” enough for a vacation and the closest word I came up with is “exotic”, but it’s not exactly what I want to convey.
I’m not a cable expert by any means and can’t answer all the questions, but I can tell you that the protocol used by cable is called DOSCIS. So it might guide you into some of those answers.
And the coax cable itself doesn’t go very far now because it’s connected to a fiber network somewhere in your neighbourhood.
In a dark dark town, there was a dark dark street, in the dark dark street, there was a dark dark house, in the dark dark house, there were dark dark stairs, down the dark dark stairs, was a dark dark cellar and in the dark dark cellar… Three skeletons lived. But not the ones you’re thinking about.
Maybe it’s their neighbours.
AFAIK it’s acceptable if the parent is walking or sitting with the child. It’s only abusive if you tie the leash outside while you go run some errands in a store, or if left attached in the backyard.
Oh! I assumed it was a short for a location in California or something like this. I didn’t know the word for those things and thought it was a place.
Montreal. There’s someone with a YouTube channel named TaiigerBlue that posts “FSD tests” from all around the city.
EDIT: I didn’t know what “caltrops” are. And anyway any kind of damage to a precious motorized vehicle is considered a grave offense. I once hit the rear bumper of a car that cut me with my bike wheel and the driver chased me, cut me again, got out of his car, yelled at me, and then slapped me in the face, saying “YOU DON’T TOUCH MY CAR BRO!1!”
There’s already someone in my city posting videos of “how well” the autopilot navigates the intersections of pedestrianized streets and I hate it. They are enthusiastically beta testing their lethal shit around pedestrians like it’s nothing.
Even right now. Look at how people have to wait in huge lines to get some gas every time there is a natural disaster, or extreme weather. After a few days, or even hours, it’s mostly gone.
A few years ago I had a depression and two dreams were coming back repeatedly.
My apartment was a floating in the middle of the ocean and I had to defend it against “invaders”, like my landlords, my parents, some of my “friends”. They were all trying to “attack” me and invade my now lonely isolated floating apartment.
The other one is my fit coworker hunting and running after me to capture me and bring me back forcefully to my parents, from which I was running away, in my mid thirties.
Soon Trump will issue an executive order making it illegal not to visit the US. Everyone in the world not visiting the US because of boycott will be sent to a Salvadoran gulag.
I use Eternity. AFAIK it doesn’t have ads and it’s pretty much what I’m looking for. I tried others but they had ads and I couldn’t tolerate that.
I wish it wouldn’t be that complicated just to sit. I’m a short man (5’6") and it’s impossible to sit correctly in most office chairs, as the seats are simply too big. My knees can’t bend if my back is against the backrest.
Also they are often too tall and my feet don’t touch the ground, so I need a foot stool.
Even fucking desks are too high.
So I have a chair that’s too big and too high, and a desk that’s also too high when I’m sitting.
I hate that the world is standardized around an average. Finding an appropriate desk or chair for smaller people, at an affordable price, is a pretty good challenge.
I still have an IRC server but the eggdrop’s usefulness has pretty much been reduced to fetching YouTube titles and the URL of images on tenor. Its main use was to fetch titles for all URLs pasted on channels where it is, but because me and most of the users are now using TheLounge as a client, there is no need for that anymore, except for a few exceptions. At one point it was also displaying all the things my friends upvoted on reddit, but since reddit closed its API and I came here…
IRC with TheLounge is still very useful though.
That’s me with TCL.
I’ve had an eggdrop for years (obviously) and I’m very bad with TCL, so any new script that I want to add is a bash script executed by the TCL script.
If enough people voted, the Democrats would have given people free health care, stopped financing wars, torture and genocide, improve public transit, boost public education, and lowered the cost of groceries. If only enough people voted for the Democrats, they could be in power and bring change. They just need a super majority to install a welfare state and turn into pacifists. Of course!

Yep, I live in Canada and wanted to escape winter for a few days, so I booked a short trip in the Carribean. It only took a few seconds of walking under the sun to begin sweating and thinking “I know I came here for the heat but damn, it’s so hot!”
I was using E16 years ago and liked it but eventually switched to Gnome (2, I think), after waiting for E17 for too long.
What made me quit was the wait. All the other DEs at the time were releasing new versions frequently but Enlightenment took forever.
