Enjoy your prawn flavoured ice cream.

This diagram is wrong. You can't end-mount RAM in that type of potato.

Is this American pants (trousers) or English pants (underwear)?

Quite a different message depending.

It's a shame that every sink in every public toilets, workplace toilets or other people's house still has soap with Sodium Laureth Sulphate in. Even the products that say "gentle on skin" tend to be full of the stuff.

I tried various moisturisers for years with not a lot of effect. Swapping my soap, shower gel and shampoo for ones without SLS in them really made such a difference, and so quickly.

Okay, but how do I trim and smooth out the skin irregularities near my fingers?

Also, where do I acquire the spare skin I need to eat?

Bear in mind it can depend what country someone is from.

Traditionally, a Briton saying "I'm kind of okay at this" might mean they're one of the best in the world (mustn't blow one's own trumpet).

A Briton who says "I'm great at this" (or anything beyond "pretty good") is likely an arrogant charlatan.

In contrast, an American might say "I'm good at this" to mean "I am better than average".

I'd imagine other countries have their own tendencies for under/overstatement.

In case anyone has forgotten, the specific character assassination was: "Elon Musk calls British diver in Thai cave rescue 'pedo' in baseless attack" (Guardian Website).

"I don't live in the 1930s - 1940s Nazi Germany region, so I'm just a sparkling fascist"

Is he as friendly to the meat industry as British Conservative former Prime Minister David Cameron, who allegedly put his knob in a dead pig's mouth?

That "Mar-a-Lago" sounds strangely familiar. I wonder where I've heard that before?

We kind of go "brur".

My fork is the correct fork. None of these are my fork.

In the event of a fork loss, any of these forks could become my fork after a period of time, probably about a month or so until it felt right.

"I call my creation 'Prickachu'"

Yes. Unless you have any problems, stick with it. It's easy to use, it's stable, it's pretty well supported, it's common enough that there's a lot of advice available. You already know it and don't appear to have any issues or complaints with it.

There's no harm in trying some other distros on a live USB if you're feeling curious, but there's no reason to change for the sake of it. In case you weren't aware, a live USB runs completely off the USB stick - so you can test it on an existing machine, and it won't alter any installed files.

There's a chance that with a very new machine with very new components that Mint may have a compatibility problem (by default it uses slightly older, more tested kernels or software versions) - you can normally fix this by manually installing newer versions, or using the "Linux Mint Edge" version (which uses newer kernels by default) - or by trying a different distro which uses newer kernels/packages by default.

Sometimes people get this funny thing in their head that Mint/Ubuntu/PopOS etc are "beginner distros" and after you've used them for a few years, you need to "upgrade" to a more complicated one - but no, for the majority of purposes, you can carry on using the one you like, until they stop making it, or you stop liking it.

I guess you wanted to Enjoy the Silence? :)

It was a great mystery at the time what was actually being sung there.

Along with yours, we also had:

I'm blue, I believe I'm a dog,
I believe I'm a dog,
I believe I'm a dog.

And

I'm blue, I believe I will die
I believe I will die
I believe I will die.

Oddly it looks like the article is only referring to people coming back from holiday, bringing a bit of meat or cheese with them. It doesn't seem to cover the cargo ships full of the stuff.

Obviously this makes sense, as whenever I go on holiday and bring back some delicious foreign cheese or meat, the first thing I always do is go down to my local farm and share it out with all the animals :)

I'd not seen that outtake! Thank you, it was hilarious :)

Fun Fact:
In British English, "Trump" means the same as "fart" (and has done for over 100 years):
