- Comment on How do you keep roaches and other pests from entering your computer (either desktop or laptop)? (Especially for people that live in very warm and wet climates) 3 days ago:
Recurring treatment by a professional service, otherwise use a roach killer product with boric acid (or just buy boric acid). It’s the only thing that’s actually worked for me.

Yeah, you’re going to stall the engine in the beginning. A lot. That means turning the engine back on in traffic in unfamiliar surroundings.
Also, if you’re going to be driving on any hills, you’ll need a separate new skill set for a manual car.
Stick to automatic, but take the offer to learn.

More of a “in the background” type show to kill some time. I don’t care if I miss parts of it, or even whole episodes. Surprised by the high ratings tbh.

- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 5 weeks ago:
Marriage? Why, it’s the greatest weapon in any noble’s arsenal! Let me enlighten you on matters of state and power.
Marriage isn’t about love; that’s a peasant’s fantasy. For those of us who bear the weight of ancient houses, marriage is statecraft of the highest order.
When I wed the second daughter of House Tyrell, I gained three castles along the Roseroad and secured my southern border against those Dornish vipers. Her father’s bannermen now answer my call; five thousand spears when winter comes.
Marriage binds blood to blood. When your wife bears your children, you’ve created heirs that unite two powerful lineages. Should some upstart lord challenge either house, they face the combined might of both.
Consider the Lannisters and their gold. A prudent marriage there secures not just coin for your depleted coffers, but access to their formidable fleet. Or perhaps the Arryns, whose impregnable Eyrie would shield your lands from eastern invaders.
Politics shifts like quicksand, but marriage creates bonds that even the most treacherous lords hesitate to break. The realm notices when sacred vows are betrayed, and remembers.
So you ask what’s the point? Power, lands, armies, legitimacy, and the future of your house. What greater purpose exists for those of us born to rule?
Now pass the wine. These matters of dynasty have made my throat dry.
- Comment on how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new? 1 month ago:

- Comment on Who can I ask or where can I find help in moving to a new country? 1 month ago:
Perhaps look for a company in that country that offers expat services? They may be able to bridge the gap on local customs for your situation.
