Once my family and some friends went out to a Mexican restaurant in Houston. The next day one of my relatives couldn't find her expensive digital camera (this was in 2006 when average people still used digital cameras before smartphones). She claimed we were taking pictures with it at the restaurant. That wasn't true at all; we took no pictures. Everyone at the table but her didn't remember taking any pictures.

Soon after she calls the restaurant and starts yelling at the manager claiming that one of his employees stole the camera. She threatens to call the police and "border agents" because she assumes they're all "illegal" immigrants.

The next day we find her camera in its bag hanging on a chair in our apartment where she left it before we ever went to the restaurant. It was hidden under a her jacket. No apologies to the restaurant. πŸ™„

Ah, I was thinking of canned mac n cheese which I tried once and the several times I tried different canned soups containing cheese. It didn't taste like cheese and it wasn't tolerable for me. That said I have enjoyed canned queso dip.

Canned anything with cheese tastes revolting from my experience.

Maybe. I've only known Snapchat used for sending pictures of one's privates, which is quite direct now that I think about it.

I think it's still used a lot for private messaging?

Has XLOOKUP made its way into the non-subscription version? I've found it a lot easier and flexible to use than VLOOKUP.

Well, if Alexa did call the police and they showed up, there's a chance the police might just shoot you instead of the burglar in your own home anyway.

How is he comparable to Neil? I've been listening to Michael Moore's podcast off and on since 2020 and he's only come across as humble and empathetic to me which is not how I'd characterize Neil.

Technically only his mother was an immigrant, born in Scotland. His father was born in the US.

Switch remaster has a motion controls option. I quite like it. Is that comparable to how it played on the Wii?

Hopefully it goes more smoothly than Boston's previous cat cafe: https://youtu.be/wNsqEntHuV8

 

Is it possible to create a shortcut that could have 2 or more apps open side by side together in stage manager? E.g., have Ivory, Discord, and Messages open together and specify that Discord takes the right half of the screen and Ivory and Messages split the left half.

 
 
 

When one says something like β€œmost scholars think x” or β€œthe theory of y has not convinced many experts”, how is that actually determined? Are there polls conducted regarding different theories?
