4th person pronoun?
Why isn't that just 2nd person plural, like "y'all"?

An American fast food restaurant with two drive-through lines wrapping entirely around the building, along with at least 10 curb-side pickup parking spots. At least 48 visible vehicles waiting for their christian bigotry-flavored chicken sandwiches and nuggets (Chick-Fil-A is the name of the restaurant).

Five People Founded Tesla, But Only Elon Musk Became Extremely Rich

Excuse me, but one of the conditions of Elon's investment was that they pretend he was a founder and refer to him as such!

That's also how small conservative towns and churches in Texas handle their homeless. They put them on busses and send them to the larger cities in Texas.

The Bechdel test is a famous test of film to measure whether a movie represents women as more than just accessories for the male cast. Specifically, the test is passed if a film features two women who have a conversation about something other than a man. Surprisingly, a lot of films fail this test.
The Ulvaeus test is a fictional test in the same vein named after Bjorn Ulvaeus, a prominent member of the band ABBA. Presumably, this test might be passed if a film contains a musical segment featuring the works of the band ABBA. This would be a clever pairing for this film, as ABBA has a song called Waterloo and the Napoleonic Wars ended with the Battle of Waterloo.

Will ublock Origin be blocked on chrome soon?💀💀💀

It's odd that people migrated from Firefox to Chrome in the first place.
I migrated from Firefox to Chrome years and years ago when Chrome was lightning fast with a bazillion tabs open and Firefox had some memory leak that forced me to reload a couple times a day. I have since moved back and realized all my old problems are no longer a thing, but I can definitely see why some would have made the switch and never tried moving back.

Domain naming authorities require identification for the registration of domains. You cannot purchase domains anonymously. You can pay Njalla and they own the domain, and they'll tell you that you can control it, but you have no rights to it in any kind of dispute.

I'm surprised you don't lose Unix certification with crap like case insensitive filesystem defaults.

This is confusing. I'm already using the iSeven API to determine if a number is 7. I'm getting a namespace collision error when I try to load this new API. Bug report filed.

Ctrl+Alt+T
Honestly, I like both. I use whichever provides the biggest productivity multiplier. For example, I can navigate around the filesystem and manipulate text files and code extremely quickly in the terminal. On the flip side, I like to use a gui which allows me to spread 6-12 terminal windows across my multiple displays.

The kids are alright
Reply in thread
If parents can eat with you on your birthday, it's probably elementary school, and the kids probably typically sit with their class. If a parent shows up for a birthday lunch, they probably sit them at a separate 4-top from the whole class, so they can pick 2 other students to sit with the kid and their parent.
In my kids elementary school, we just sat at the long table with the whole class, but I could imagine that scenario if the kid/parent sat at a different table. If you didn't specify a couple of kids and left it as a free-for-all, there would be chaos.
