Option 2

I never use wifi outside of my home. I have unlimited cellular data, so why would I bother?

Usually just a small amount of food is enough, but your pharmacist should talk to you the first time you fill the prescription and tell you if more is necessary

“No, goddammit, I ordered a submarine sandwich!

Firefox with uBlock Origin should always be your starting point. It's not an either/or thing. I use ff+ubo and NextDNS for two layer ad filtering. There's literally no need to choose.

My understanding is that it’s a holdover from after WW2, when American troops were still there a lot. Americans in general, and American soldiers in particular tend to be pretty loud and effusive in large groups, which can get on anybody’s nerves. So they annoyed the locals, the locals got rude, and a cultural trope was born.

In the USA, the French have a reputation for rudeness. I didn’t really expect that to be universally true, but I was surprised by how actively friendly many people were. I spent time in Paris, Nice, Avignon, Pau, and brief stops in a few other places. The only rude person was the guy selling food on the TGV.

I’m not sure what you mean by knowing how to move in a major city. While in Paris, I walked or rode the metro. In Provence and thereabouts, it was train or bicycle.

I spent three weeks on France (almost 20 years ago) and the only rude person I encountered was being rude to everyone. He just seemed to be generally in a cranky mood. Everyone else was somewhere between neutral and friendly. I speak some French, but my accent was bad enough that anyone who spoke English immediately switched to that.

Less and less as you get older

Speaking of chins with bony protrusions

I bought one just before the end. No ragrets. There are definitely some software quirks (the rear cross traffic alert always points the wrong direction) but overall I like it.

Wow, a whole $1 million. They’ll notice that for like seven seconds.

AFAIK there is no known energy source that would keep a generation ship powered for the duration of an interstellar flight.

The person to whom you responded is half right. The speed of light is half of the barrier to interstellar travel. Entropy is the other half.

Just started watching the movie again about ten minutes ago

I don’t like garlic bread. Don’t really like garlic much at all. Thank you for your kind wishes.

From Serious Eats:

First off, it's true: mushrooms do absorb water when you wash them, but it's only about 2% of their total weight, or, translated to volume, that's about 1 1/2 teaspoons of water per pound, which in turn translates to an extra 15 to 30 seconds of cooking time.

"Soggy" is an exaggeration.

There are a lot of people who think, largely due to misinformed cooking shows, that you shouldn't wash mushrooms, just wipe them off.

If you want them washed, maybe say "Hey, I can help out by washing those for you."

There’s a queen bean?
