The previous two years we lived on the corner of two main roads. We put out a massive display each year, and since everyone could see it based on the location, word spread and kids came from far and wide. We had 400+ kids each of the past two years.
In the year we moved to another neighborhood. We're now deep inside the neighborhood and not on any main road. We're actually on a dead end, so you would need to turn down our street to see our house. We expected very few kids for this reason.
Surprisingly, we actually had quite a bit of kids despite that! Not anywhere near 400+, but maybe 100?
After that, I made pumpkin seeds in the air fryer, which was really good. And we watched a Halloween movie. It was a pretty decent night.
We do full-sized candy bars, but we also have small candy for when we run out of full-sized ones. Last year I had an adult that was not in costume take the last full-sized one, unwrap it, and bite into it right in front of us. I don't care if you take a little one for yourself, but the full-sized bars are for the kids. You can buy your own damn full-sized candy bars.
It happened to a bunch of people I used to work with. I worked for a small company that almost went under. About half of our staff got laid off one day. People with unvested stocks got fucked. 4 years later the company was sold, and our stock was worth a life changing amount. Those poor guys got fucked so hard. I was able to buy a house before I turned 30 with that money.
If I just take the toll roads, they are completely empty, even at rush hour. It's nice to have that option when I'm in a rush to just pay $3 and get to my destination on time instead of stressing out in traffic and possibly making poor decisions due to stress.
I'm not an Ubuntu doomer like most of the internet (I don't hate snap like everyone else), but I did recently switch to OpenSUSE on my gaming laptop and I'm loving it. I switched because I wanted a rolling release distro so I didn't need to worry about waiting for new features. I also wanted to switch to KDE Plasma after using it on my Steam Deck and loving it, but I could have done that while staying on Ubuntu. It was just another excuse for me to try something new.
That said, I will likely never move my server off of Ubuntu. I am totally fine with my packages being old and not getting new features right away because my server must be functioning all the time. Even updating to new LTS releases makes me nervous.
Anyway, if you're happy with Ubuntu, don't let anyone bully you off of it. It's really not bad. It's stable. That's its best feature. Unless there's something specific you want from another distro, stick with what you like.
I love everything about food, and I love all food. Cheap food, expensive food, fast food, food I prepared myself, all cuisines. All food is amazing to me. I plan my vacations around how many meals I can eat and how many places I want to try. I want to travel the world and eat every food.
Except now I'm trying to lose weight, and food is my enemy. Portion control is so hard. 😭 Though I find it's much easier when I prepare food at home.
True, but we have lots of examples of that in English, to the point where I don't think it's that weird. e.g., i.e., b.c., a.d., etc., and so on. What's even weirder to me is that we have sayings in English that use words that are otherwise not used anymore. "To and fro", "lo and behold", "eke out", "inclement weather" (it's hard to even find a definition of inclement because it's only used to describe weather), "spick and span", "days of yore"
I was pretty young at the time, so my memory is hazy, but I thought there was more to this. Didn't they recount several times? What was going on that made it so difficult for them to count?
Hopefully this improves the user experience for password managers. I use bitwarden, and currently, often times the option doesn't come up to use bitwarden. I will need to refresh the page or close/reopen the app to get the option to come up.
She believes space doesn't exist and rockets just blow up because the bible said so.
Ask her to show you where in the bible it says that rockets blow up. Or really where any of these things are in the bible.
I grew up in a super religious family and went to a Christian school for my whole childhood. Most people who claim to be religious don't even read the Bible, and as soon as you ask them to point out where in the bible it says the things they are claiming it says, their argument falls apart. On the off chance they are able to point to a passage where it says it, 9 times out of 10, theor interpretation is the most idiotic way you could interpret it.
