In theory I could just move back to England, but right now I'm quite happy where I'm at. If a job opportunity came up, who knows?

Still works with Windows 10 keys, however. Makes sense since Windows 8 and earlier are EOL now. Also, you don't have to activate Windows if you don't want to, it'll just bug you occasionally.

They introduced themselves, nice people. The lady across the street drives my Mother-in-law to her appointments when we can't.

My wife caught it at work, about six months into the pandemic. Was inevitable, since she works in a grocery store. She woke up with a fever and no sense of taste or smell, and then went downhill with really bad flu like symptoms from there. I started with the same thing the next day. Main illness lasted two weeks, but the worst part was the first week by far. My wife was sick for almost 6 weeks and ended up on an inhaler for a while until her lungs healed. Neither of us got our full taste back for almost 2 years, and our smell hasn't fully recovered yet either (about 80% now).

We both tested positive again last June, got a mandatory week off work but the only symptom was a mild fever. Wouldn't have even known I was sick, but a family member tested positive and we'd been to visit so took a test and there I was. I'd been vaccinated by that point, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say the vaccination did what it was supposed to do with keeping me from being sick.

Maybe try changing her litter? Sounds like she doesn't like it.

Said I could come back the next day, as it turned out I was busy that day so I passed the following day instead. I failed because I got over confident backing out of a parking spot an nudged a cone. Or, as he put it, I murdered a toddler. Fair enough. We did the backing up thing first so I could get that out of the way, the rest of the test was easy.

I've never heard of a weird secret code to force you to fail, just relax and don't run over any toddlers, I mean cones, and I'm sure you'll be just fine!

Plenty of people had broadband, I was one of the first to get it in 1998. A whole 512Kbit.

The US has no issue with the metric system, and most engineering and scientific people switched decades ago. The military is mostly all metric too. The general public of the US is a harder nut to crack, asking a population of stubborn freedom lovers to change something they've known their whole life is damn near impossible.

I switch my stuff to metric all the time, and the usual response isn't "oh that's interesting", it's nearly always, "the fuck is wrong with you, why would you want that weird shit?!". If the government suddenly made all weather reports metric, the T-Shirt sellers would all become millionaires overnight from selling anti-metric slogans.

No motion sickness, but most VR games make me disorientated after a while and I just don't enjoy them very much. They're fun for a couple of hours once in a great while, but I never see myself doing it as a daily hobby.

Been using this online handle for 30 years now, I'd say pretty attached!

Right now it's an idea, but Musk's ideas tend to become reality more often than not. I already stopped Twitter, they do this I'll be gone for good.

I've tried every other browser, and I keep coming back to Firefox because it's reliable, has a low memory footprint, and isn't run by some evil corporation.

I don't care what he does with it at this point.

On our honeymoon, we went to this 5 star place in Scotland so I could "wine and dine" my new wife. I think the meal ended up being $150 back in 2000 so about $260 now. We both had the lamb and vegetables, the lamb was under cooked and the vegetables were practically raw. The dessert, on the other hand, was delicious and we got drunk on a bottle of wine. We had more fun listening to the group of older guys one upping each other with tales of their yachts. They were also very welcoming to a couple of young kids who were clearly in a place far above their income bracket. So, in all, it was crap food but we enjoyed ourselves.

Photo transfer.

Hardly used it anyway, and when Elon took over my feed was 99% posts by him and 1% porn accounts. So, not worth keeping it.

The only people who need the USB 3 transfer speeds are going to be Pro users. For everyone else, it doesn't matter.

I was thinking the same too, it'd work in larger gas stations but the Mom and Pop places are going to quickly run out of parking spots. I'm guessing that's the 20% that are exempt. Here in the US a lot of the larger chains are already putting in EV chargers and they are always filled up.

Glad you enjoyed it, the only one near here is at a place that's almost impossible to find parking for so we don't go very often.

At a fast food place, Shake Shack is the best I've ever had. Burger Fi is also good, but can be inconsistent sometimes. Now, the best burgers I eat are the ones we grill at home, a local butcher makes a blend mixed with Japaleños and they're delicious.
