I think that’s fairly common parlance in the UK for vaccines. Although this website is an American one, but just thought I’d throw that out there.

Leela: The United States is part of the world

I’m partially joking but it it can be satisfying to figuring out and executing the series of patterns in good timing.
The thing is thinking that you’re so cool for it :P … I never see an issue with someone enjoying the game for the story or whatever else.

Some say you don’t need it, but I personally use this plugin: https://github.com/jeffreytse/zsh-vi-mode
but I also use this: https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting for syntax highlighting and it makes it more readable too.
I’ve always liked vim but one thing that I really loved about it was when I started using vim mode in zsh.
Being able to just navigate through commands in my terminal and easily highlight and edit and all that … it’s so good.
Impossible, all the podcaster chuds were saying how comedy is legal now that Trump and Musk took charge! /s
I like him so far.
I always worry that the left are gonna jump on him the second he does something they don’t like and then spew out a bunch of stuff about how he was never any good.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•"The hope is to have a fresh 'Star Trek' movie, though [Paramount] has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot."English
61·7 days agoI really liked Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto and enjoyed the first two movies. The first one far more than the second though.
The second had what I felt were unnecessary linked to their prequels and it’s also what the worst parts of Craig’s Bond and Solo were as well.
I don’t think they embodied the spirit of Star Trek though, but I was hoping they could have worked those out over time, but it seems not so much.

Now, if you’ll excuse him … he’s buying a new yacht.
They have to listen to crazy stuff that goes unchallenged. I’ve also lived in the UK and if you read the Daily Mail you’ll see stories about people driving Ferraris and on welfare.
These bubbles can be really wild.
I work in tech and I was tired of Musk one day and said: “I don’t care where you’re politics lie, but I’m sick of hearing about him”.
Then my coworker said, “aren’t you sick of paying taxes?”
I’m said, “I’m a progressive, you’re talking to the wrong guy”
He then said, “there are people who don’t work at all that get more money from the government than what we earn, why should they get money?”
Urgh, then we had a bit of back and forth. I doubt any of these poor people are getting money that’s equivalent to our tech salaries but if anybody’s getting that amount of money from the government it’d be the rich. I also went into the fact that I don’t have kids and he did. So a lot of my money is funding his kids too, but yeah …
If M Night Shyamalan directed this, it would be a Superman reveal at the end with a cheesy one-liner.

Seriously, I’ve had it once before when I stayed at a place in New York almost 20 years back at this point.
I was like, oh … why are these bumps and why are they in a row? so weird!
Although, worse was when I got a bed in London UK at Swiss Cottage to just stay one night. It was like a dorm room bed. I think I estimated that I got like 200 bed bug bites in total. I had to estimate but it was crazy. What’s funny is that when you’re entire body is covered in bites, the itchiness bothers you a bit less because if it’s just one area you keep scratching it. However when it’s your whole body, you’re like … everywhere equally hurts so I don’t need to bother scratching. At least that’s what it was like for me.
Sorry, just releasing out the trauma :P
Now whenever I get any bites … I just freak out and wonder if it’s bed bugs. I woke up last night and noticed an itchy bump and just freaked myself out.

The post is rather thin, but I was initially upset about this post because I can’t read.
I was like: I’m going to drink hot water whether you like it or not! Took a while for my brain to process “hot tap water”.
