There’s been a snack culture for a while in some places. For a while the generalized “healthy eating” suggestion was to snack throughout the day so you don’t consume 1,000 calories at once in a single meal before bed. Not sure if that’s really the case still, or what.

100% agree that you’ll have far better performance with a light Linux distro. If you’re having trouble running a browser, that’s 5% of what’s running with some bloated OS chugging along just to show you a desktop.

You do really need to make a stand on this. Personally, I would offer a test or demonstration where you write a paper in a place where you can be assured to not be using an AI, and have them check the false-positive rate to show the vendor they have is bad. Short of that, you’re really talking about pushback on an administration that clearly has only mediocre ideas, and is willing to let students suffer the brunt of their bad decision-making until you make it a problem for them.
Students should have a way to seek real recourse about this. Use it now and use it early to establish a record of receiving false positives, Otherwise you risk some professor later really causing problems with a 5% false positive rate and it being a huge problem for you.

I’ve lived in plenty of places where when the lights worked, they were optional.
What you’re forgetting is that the other people don’t want to fuck up their car by hitting your car. Usually. Like 98% of the time. It’s the people looking for some mutually assured destruction that are the hazard, and they’re few and far between.

At least in the US, it’s important to remember that the First Amendment starts with “Congress shall make no law…”
People aren’t free from repercussions and consequences if they say dumb shit. That’s the important distinction that more people should understand.

It’s the only movie I ever watched, rewound it, and watched it again. I loved it. I also love Geri Haliwell, so I think we’re on the same page here.
Go team Geri!

This is why I watched most of the Marvel movies on planes. They’re silly and fun, and if I fall asleep, it doesn’t matter. Scorsese thought they were the end of cinema - dude just chill. If the Spice Girls movie didn’t end cinema as an art, neither will these things.

- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 1 month ago:
I knew a couple that did this. Neither of them changed their names when they got married, and both their names were just weird. They wanted more professional-sounding names, FWIW.
I somewhat agree to explore the un-messed up spelling, but can see how that might not work. My friends just dug through family histories until they found one they liked. Settled on Snook. Worked for them.
Starting from scratch, I would start with syllables first to see what fits. It’s either you want a mirroring of the syllables of the first name if you want something formidable and important-sounding, or a single syllable that is a stark punctuation if it suits you more.
A few examples:
2-syllable names might do better with 1 or 2 syllables - Maureen Star, Maureen Wright. Maureen Harper, Maureen Rivers flow well.
3 syllable names might work with up to 3 - Meredith Mackenzie. Meredith Lancaster.
You might also want a “job name” as other suggested as they are sort of ethnically neutral (other than being English) - many 2 syllables. Taylor, Harper, Archer, Tanner, Hunter, Sawyer, Driver, Wainwright, etc.
Or something you like in nature - Rivers, Forester, Woods, Fields, Bay, Mariner
If you go for 1 syllable, make it a word people know that pops. Knox. Hale. Quinn. Snow. Stone. Frost. Hart. Steele. Black. Night. Day.
Also, search online first to make sure that no one with the same name is a serial killer or something.
Best of luck!

- Comment on Can travel anywhere in late June, not sure where. Anecdotes/advice? 1 month ago:
Big question is what is “too hot”? Croatia or Turkey in June would be toasty. You can also look at the Aegean side of Greece. Beyond being hot, June and August both are when these places empty out or get absolutely filled up for the summer. Personally, I would suggest looking more around the Balkans and seeing if there’s something you like and renting a car to drive between places. Beaches in NE Greece, hot springs in Bulgaria? Beaches in Montenegro, shopping in Belgrade? You get that Ottoman history anywhere you go. Maybe look at flying into one city and flying out of another.
Turkey is solid, but beaches might be some internal flights or long drives from IST. Just beware of scams and hustles from every direction.
Scotland in June is beautiful, the question would be if you can actually find a place to stay. It’s a short summer so things book up quickly and expensively. Water is always freezing.
Dominican Republic on the Semana peninsula? Panama?

He was also the dealer, so no, I do not and never did.
Though, FWIW, entirely not recommended for long-term practice. That much molly regularly can really mess up your brain chemistry. It didn’t end well for them, but she was also a depressed wreck.

I knew a guy that did this with his gf regularly. They’d take a full day off, phones off, he’d pop a viagra and they’d both do a molly.

For a while I lived in apartment building where no one had AC units so we all just had our windows open every night. My partner and I woke up at like 3am on a week day to what sounded like someone being murdered. Things being thrown around and this moaning whimpering that sounded not OK. Apartment across the courtyard on the same floor as us best as we could figure.
Then all of the sudden it changed tempo to slap-slap-slap of hips on ass and a guy calling someone a stupid fucking slut and running through every derogatory thing he could manage. Slapping her (I assume her ass, might have been her face) hard - it really sounded like borderline injury slap. Still not sure at this point if we’re hearing an actual assault or what. Then, fortunately, within a few minutes, she was screaming yes yes yes and responding to him calling her a slut. Which of course, made us feel relieved that it seemed consensual. We looked at each other and did a little “awwww…that’s so nice for her!” Once they finished up we applauded, which they deserved.

It’s hilarious to try and go up against the tide of siesta and be pissed about “The store isn’t open? It’s 3:00!!” and then everything ends up being open until like 9pm anyway.

Such a stupid take. You build a data center in Sydney when all the people are in NY? Think of the latency!
We need to build a giant spherical data center and humans will crawl on the outside like ants. No one will ever be more than the circumference away from another user, and all traffic can be routed through the fastest and shorted physical route.
Then the rest of the earth gives us 24/7 solar power. 10/10 super happy love love!
