Broken clock is right twice a day or something

“Village” isn’t used anywhere in the USA as far as I know. Places with <500 people call themselves a town usually. Where I’m from in NH (close to these towns), residents call themselves townies. “Small” is kinda just used as a grammatical intensifier in all the cases I’ve heard it used. YMMV in the south or Midwest though.

What a gigantic sigh of relief

Visit a AAA location and get an “international drivers permit”. It’s super easy and a good insurance policy for yourself. I highly doubt the police speak much English and aren’t corrupt, so it may save headaches. Also, watch out on neighborhood streets for potholes.

people who skipped college may not have a good grasp

Yes, but that’s not typical for a high school dropout; he’s exceptional. Highschool dropouts are not super well read, as a demographic, either. I’m was not being hostile towards people who didn’t go to college.

critical thinking

Considering that critical thinking has to be thought to you, I think most people who skipped college may not have a good grasp on it.

When you’re rich you can buy property anywhere in the US. You just can’t run/vote in more than one jurisdiction.

Fun fact: Democrats and GOP swapped colors in the 2000 election.

I personally know people that think sbarro (and Olive Garden as a proxy) is on par with “other pizza” as its own thing. Those people recognize it’s not “real pizza”; they just like it for what it is.

For the same reason there’s a TGI Friday in time square. McDonald’s. Olive Garden. It’s there for the tourists that rather have their slop.

Sadly, Yasser Arafat refusing to take Clinton’s deal didn’t help things either. Israel/Palestine is absolutely, ultimately the fault of the British

Unfortunately, my father is exactly this individual, and he’s serious. He wants nothing more than to see other people suffer, even if he has to himself suffer (as long as his suffering is less than theirs, because otherwise that would be unfair 🤷🏽‍♂️).

Harris won nowhere near 90% of NYC. The city itself voted 68/30 for Harris/Trump. Manhattan hit 80% as the “bluest” borough. Staten Island and Hasidic Brooklyn voted overwhelmingly for Trump.

on Notion: aren’t the desktop clients just electron apps anyway? The website is really solid from my useage.

KDE Connect was rock solid when I was testing it out with an S24u. The only real issue I had with it was that it was missing RCS (RCS is locked down to only proprietary google messages/iMessage systems) and a seamless way to go from desktop notification to SCRCPY/screen mirroring.

Considering he has a notepad and pen out, I’m guessing he’s a translator.

I think the biggest draw to Synology now is the ultra low power consumption. Yeah, you could totally repurpose an old PC, but it’s crazy to run 500W perpetually. The reason they use old Celeron processors is the low power draw. In time, hopefully, RISC V can produce some low cost systems that would slot in well for this use case.

By the time I was in school the Bohr model was already proven inaccurate, but was taught anyway because the orbital model is too esoteric for teenagers 🙄.

Where are they mandated?

Holy shit I want to be sent one of these. It’s a golden ticket to living abroad with asylum lol.
