Stolen from the British, via the Imperial Navy from its training exercises with the Royal Navy in the time around the Russo-Japanese war, who themselves stole it from India.
I honestly can't believe this album was 2022 and not... 2002. You know what you're getting here, it's Avril Lavigne. But, like, if that's what you want... There you go.
Better than I don't remember. Equipment and quality matters, it's like a first listen.
Sk8ter Boi is the worst song. Nobody's Fool rap parts are a dishonorable mention.
Best songs: I'm With You, Tomorrow, Anything But Ordinary
Greater range of styles than Love Sux, and Love Sux comes off as "What did I expect? Not this shit again" and Let Go comes off as "What do I expect? Do I know?" That alone tells you the age/life stage of each... More about this...
Although Linux has come a long way in the 25 years since I started using it with Red Hat 5.2 or whatever, there are still those squirrelly things that means if you install X, it breaks Y, and even when X is removed, Y remains broken, and you just have to bypass it.
I borked my keyboard layout and it seemed the layout applet (the Japanese flag in my previous screenshot) and the full screen app dashboard I installed did not play nice. In the end, I had to remove both.
Best New Mexican food is best triangulated this way:
New Mexico
Southern New Mexico
Doña Ana County
Las Cruces
Missouri Avenue
Little hole in the wall called El Jacalito (The Small Adobe House) with the best gorditas on the planet. The place is a greasy spoon, heavy on the grease, limited number of spoons.
I absolutely survived on those as a latchkey kid living in the overtly Mid-Century Modern neighborhood.
Explains a helluva lot about me does it not? Ain't no Modern like Desert Modern.

Ah well I attended Westlake HS and I'm pretty sure it has so much of a reputation that you'll have heard of it if you lived in Austin your schooling years.
@jezebelkat@YamaguchiSake “comprised of” is definitely something that even highly educated people say, so it’s getting hard at this point to say it’s wrong. I avoid it because I know that a journal editor will be a snoot about it and tell an editing or translation client to get their English fixed.
Also it easy enough to just say “consists of” or “composed of”
Starting to use Homebrew for backporting Linux apps to macOS, further ensuring that when the day comes I must give up macOS forever, except for MS 365 Desktop (because Microsoft), I'll have the same suite of apps on both platforms.
My mother lives there still, apartment just down the road a bit. And when we sold the house, the realtor actually asked "wouldn't you want this house, your childhood home, are you sure you want to sell it?"
And I nearly laughed in her face and just said I was 14 when we moved in.
My childhood home is a Pueblo Revival in Las Cruces.
Today I learned FamilyMart has a limit of 30 coins to pay for anything. This is incredibly annoying as I only ever pay in cash for bills that require it, and over years I have attained a bag of coins I need to dispense with.
Legal tender is legal tender, and either it should be accepted or the government should eliminate it.
@FlockOfCats and since they will need to be bought separately and that window is not to scale at all, here is what I will be using for the upper cabinets, so just imagine two above each side of the L:
@FlockOfCats@jezebelkat Roll20 is great because the content is all built in, but I love Foundry because you actually control it and can add plugins and stuff. I ended up buying content on Roll20, exporting it to Foundry, and running everything there.
@FlockOfCats they're honestly everywhere, but this is the first one that has made it into the house. Unsurprisingly, it has set up shop in the bath tub area. Probably because I have a lot of plants there and it is very humid. And it has the occasional fly.
Native Japanese YouTubers who communicate in English and orient (verb intended) their channels towards Anglosphere viewers are worse about leverging "OOH, EXOTIC JAPAN!" than many immigrant YouTubers with the same shtick.
And I'm tired of telling the YT algorithm to stop serving me their trash.
Name me something that is rude, awkward, or discomfiting generally, I can find people doing it in Japan who are ostensibly Yamato descended and holders of Japanese nationality by birth.
Imagine if I did a video called "WHAT AMERICANS HATE THAT FOREIGNERS DO"
I'm officially done with macOS on my personal machine.
Given the age of my MacBook Pro (2015) and the demands of running Ventura or Sonoma via OpenCore Legacy, it's time to move on. The errors on macOS given the hacked nature are impossible to deal with.
Linux Mint XFCE runs well enough these days to eke out one last year on this thing--and then I go with a custom Tuxedo laptop.
