If you’re not part of the group, then don’t use it. I’d say maybe the only exception is “queer”. I’m fine with people using queer to describe their friends and family who are queer. Not everyone is OK with it though, but it’s pretty common. With queer, don’t use it unless the person you’re talking to self identifies as queer.

Weird. I was just having an issue with pamac and started using paru as a backup and paru is working fine last I checked.

OK I get that we’re joking here, but just for my sanity… It’s 3 people right? Like it’s 2 people standing behind the 1 person in the foreground, right?

If your nose happens to get plugged from allergies, this could be dangerous. You would probably wake up before suffocating but I’m not a doctor so I dunno.

I have heard that some CPAP machines have a foam that degrades and makes it’s way into people’s lungs which is scary. And they aren’t even necessarily cheap CPAP machines. Just, buyer beware on that front too.

I think everyone should just be making whatever decision is right for them and their circumstances.

You’ve got their plates, try the police?

Also, anyone that has this many decals on their vehicle is unhinged.

It’s probably a dated term from when men were the de facto “kings of the family”. I’m surprised it’s still used in census data, but it probably refers to the primary bread-winner, aka whoever makes the most money in the household.

Edit: It occurred to me afterwards they might just be referring to whoever has their name on the deed for the house.

Artists that talk like they’re showing off their latest work that they’re proud of? I don’t understand.

So don’t act like that? Either way, it’s no excuse for being a perv.

I guess it’s not so much RTS. It’s like making hard decisions. It’s a lot like Frostpunk in that way if you’ve played that game. There’s an element of danger and your villagers can easily die, and sometimes you have to make hard decisions or sacrifices.

It’s very good if you like city builders with RTS elements. There’s no combat in it at all, it’s just you and your villagers against the storm, hence the title. It has a lot of challenge missions and an overall story so the replayability is quite good.

It was a disc and the trees were able to be interacted with face to face so I think those are inexplicable except for “they’re magic”.

There’s a wikipedia article with some depictions actually right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Trees_of_Valinor#Creation

Yeah, you’d have to get up high at least.

Elves in LOTR have technically infinite vision because the world used to be flat and illuminated by two glowing trees that resided in Valinor. Because the world was flat, and Elves have essentially perfect vision at any distance, they could actually see things that were on the opposite side of the world.

After Morgoth (aka Melkor, aka the evil god that Sauron worships) and Ungoliant (the mother of Shelob, the spider that nearly kills Frodo) destroyed the trees then the world was made into a globe and Elves infinite vision ability, while still useful, wasn’t quite as powerful as before.

Unfortunately the next step is World War III which lasts from 2026 to 2053. It almost kills all of humanity and very nearly leaves the planet uninhabitable.

You know she inspired/wrote/sang most of “Imagine”, one of the greatest songs of all time, among many other Beatles and Lennon “solo” songs.

While you’re at it, switch over to DD/MM/YYYY for the date format. The only 2 configurations that make sense is that or YYYY/MM/DD. Either go general to specific or specific to general, MM/DD/YYYY makes no sense.

Why would they be hostile to that idea? It allows you to run the VPN only on your browser instead of your entire system which is sometimes preferable.

Well it seems like Wikipedia’s list of countries is pretty sparse. They only have USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, EU, and Brazil.

It’s quite good and also I like that they largely support Linux. They have phone apps, browser extensions, desktop apps, and even CLIs. They also have downloadable configurations for OpenVPN and WireGuard if you want to go that route. They’ve also got what I assume are fairly basic features of most VPNs like kill switching, private DNS servers, etc.

It’s extremely confusing but there are basically 2 measurements systems for food energy:

There’s kilocalories (abbreviated as cal) and there’s kilojoules (abbreviated as kJ). It can get very confusing because some places will label them calories (cal) and Calories (kJ), lower and upper case respectively which is extremely confusing because 1 kJ is equivalent to 4.81 cal.

According to Wikipedia the US and Canada use kilocalories (cal or calories) and pretty much the rest of the world uses kilojoules (kJ or Calories).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_energy#Nutrition_labels

The main difference between the two is that kilocalories are a measure of heat energy, where 1 kilocalorie is the heat needed to warm 1 liter of water by 1 degree celcius. Whereas a kilojoule is a measure of energy usually described by force in newtons.

They’re both actually from the metric system, but kilocalorie is the old and obsolete form while kilojoules is the currently accepted metric measurement.
