Mostly cheese. Many different types of cheese. I know there are some cheep cheeses around, but I find the difference between a good and a mediocre cheese is such that I chose to compromise on the quantity rather than on the quality…
I would not recommend Arch for beginners. I like it, but it’s best for someone a bit familiar with Linux already. Yeah, the install is pretty simple now that Archinstall is a thing, but it’s not the method recommended in the Arch Wiki and if there’s something wrong with your install and you complain on the Arch Forum they might not be super helpful.
More generally, the mood on the Arch forum and Arch communities at large isn’t super beginner friendly, and thay’s understandable: In a distro meant to be user friendly and aimed at general user, if the user does what seems natural to them and the system break, the community will feel a responsibility towards them, because the system wasn’t stable and user-friendly enough. In a distro primarily aimed at power users and devs, if the user does what seems natural to them and the system breaks, then the user is a fool and should’ve read the wiki.
Because it is a very fast rolling release, some updates can break stuff. It doesn’t happen often, but it can happen at a bad time and be a big problem for someone who doesn’t know how to deal with it.
Debian is more stable, and easier if you go with a D.E, but you still have to make several choices during the install, which might be a bit complicated for a beginner who doesn’t know what any of these options mean… Tho of course, it’s possible to go with all the defaults and it’ll be alright.
French (native), English (fluent), Spanish (a bit less than fluent). Started learning Japanese at one point and quit. Can still speak and understand some, but I’ve given up on learning kanjis. Understand a’d speak some Haitian creole (also less than fluent).
It bugs me when people say “the thing is is that” (if you listen for it, you’ll start hearing it… or maybe that’s something that people only do in my area.) (“What the thing is is that…” is fine. But “the thing is is that…” bugs me.)...
In English, I hate both “from where” and the rarer “from whence”. I first found out about the words “whence”, “whither”, “thence” and “thither” (respectively meaning "from where, “towards where”, “from there” and “towards there”) while reading the Lord of the Rings in English. I found these were powerful words that could make many sentences shorter and clearer and that it was a shame they went out of popular use…
But then, I also heard “from whence”, which struck me as far worse because it was redundant and stripped the word of its power. I first thought it was a mistake, but after seing it several times I looked up how it was meant to be used to see if I wasn’t in the wrong and saw that while it had started as a mistake, it came into use several hundred years ago and was used by many famous classic authors, making it acceptable.
Imo, that’s probably what killed these words. I guess it had the merit of being less easily misheard, but when “from whence” and “from where” mean the exact same thing, why bother remembering “whence”?
In my native language, French, I kinda dislike “C’est quoi ?” (Litt. “It’s what ?”, pronounced [sekwa] meaning "What is it ?). It’s a vernacular expression often found incorrect… But I also kinda understand why it exists. The most correct way to ask “what is it” is “Qu’est-ce ?” ([kɛsə] or [kɛs]). It works well when written, but I guess being too short, it can be easily misheard. For example, “caisse” (a large box) is pronounced the exact same way. The other alternative, more common in oral speech is “Qu’est-ce que c’est ?” (litt. “What is it that it is ?”). It might seem too long, but it’s pronounced [kɛskəse], which has the same number of syllables as “What is it”. It is redundant tho, so I understand why “C’est quoi ?”, which doesn’t sound like anything else, rolls off the tongue and has two syllables is winning over, and will probably be the correct way in the future, but it still kinda sounds wrong to me.

Sometimes yeah, but other times it’s really just one song. For example, I really like the song “Ruler of Everything” by Tally Hall, but when I tried listening to more of their stuff I mostly didn’t like it. There are also many intermediate cases. I can confidently say “Eh el Ibara” by Masar is my favorite music ever. As for the album it’s from, “El 'Aysh Wel Mehl”, it’s a solid album, maybe in my top 12. Same for the band in general. The leader/composer Hazem Shaheen might be ranked a bit higher, like maybe my 6th or 7th favorite musician, because I also like some of the other songs he made without this band, like “Horse of Darwish”. But there are more instances where I’ll want to listen to just my 1 favorite song rather than to my 12th favorite album entirely.
What’s funny with all these small, narrow-snouted bug-eating mammals is you can never guess what bigger mammal they’re more closely related too by a pic alone because this body plan is present in all therians, possibly because it was the best suited to survive the KT-extinction. So while you’d be tempted to call all of them rodents, you’ve got tree shrews closer to primates, tenrecs closer to elephants, and possums closer to kangaroos than they are to mice.
Edit: Also I checked those from the pic and they’re all marsupials, like possums.

U sure? Because dromaesaurus lived during the end cretaceous, birds were already a thing. Aurornis, which can be considered the earliest known bird, lived almost 80 million years before dromaesaurus. Even if you meant the dromaesaurid clade, birds aren’t usually classified in it, and possibly predate it.
Tho it’s true that birds are closer to dromaesaurus than to T-Rex, as birds and romaesaurids are part of the maniraptora clade.

En vrai c’est plus compliqué : Une bonne partie de ce territoire était revendiqué par la France et reconnu par les autres Européens, mais de-facto toujours contrôlé par les Amérindiens. Les territoires que la France avait vraiment colonisés, outre Nouvelle Orléan et ses environs étaient pour la plupart le long de la rive Ouest du Mississippi et pas beaucoup plus loin. Aussi, la plupart de ces territoires ont été vendus à l’Espagne pendant la Guerre des Sept Ans, parce qu’ils étaient mieux placés pour les défendre et que ça valait mieux que de les perdre face aux anglais (comme ce qui était arrivé au Québec). Ils n’ont été récupérés par la France que par Napoléon au cours de la guerre d’Espagne, mais la France ne se les est pas vraiment réappropriés : Il faut dire que Napoléon voulait reprendre Saint-Domingue (Haïti), qui avait historiquement rapporté plus à la France que la Louisiane, mais il avait besoin de la faveur des ricains pour ça (qu’ils vendent des provisions aux Français et pas aux Haïtiens). Si il reprenait tous les territoires de Louisiane, les ricains verraient la France comme une plus grande menace qu’Haïti et ne les aideraient pas. Vendre la Louisiane est donc le calcul que Napoléon a fait. Mais ça a raté pour lui parce qu’Haïti a gagné la guerre d’indépendance 🇭🇹 !
