What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual.

Bonus points for those really thin microfiber types. You wring them out as you go to get the majority of water off your body, the rest air dried quite quickly after that.

I’m surprised nobody mentioned the film Gattaca, which is centered around genetic identity.

Luden’s cherry cough drops for me. I can eat them like candy, and honestly they probably are.

Looks like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays

E: for the record, these are both lines from the same scene in the film Office Space

I brought you into this world, so I can take you out of it! GO BRUSH YOUR TEETH!

You guys have to pay? I get paid to register my domains.

Join Toastmasters and they will (quite kindly) help you rid yourself of this in a few weeks.

I’ve been there a few times over the past decade. It’s a major metro city with substantial tourism. The people there are just like people anywhere else in the world in that if you treat them with respect, they will reflect that; and if you treat them like smug shit, they will also treat you like smug shit.

The semi-popular reputation Paris has is unearned and based in prejudice.

But security be off committing their own crimes…

I have traveled extensively, and use this to generate my routes. You can restrict toll road usage, it can automatically plan your gas stops and suggest night stops. You can specify day start and end times, restrict the number of driving hours, and can even include brief stops (like for sightseeing) and it will automatically adjust your entire itinerary. You can specify your planned driving in speed in absolute terms, or in relative terms (as a percentage of the expected speed limit), and if you add or remove a point, it will automatically place it into a point in your itinerary which makes the most sense.

It’s amazing.

I also say “your phone is going off” as it can refer to either the alarm, incoming call, or other notifications. It’s definitely an accepted alternative meaning for the phrase.

I used PiHole for a long time, then graduated to self-hosting a VPN so I could get as-blocking when away from my home network.

Ultimately I ended up using just AdGuard DNS via the DNS profile for iOS, and hard code the DNS into my home routers.

There might be a better setup, but this simple deployment takes care of 98% of ads.
