Depends on how bad you are. You can glaze a clutch in an afternoon.

Unless you’re OK with looking foolish in front of your boyfriend’s dad, I would rent an automatic. You also have the possibility of damaging the clutch if you’re not careful.

That said, it shouldn’t take more than an afternoon to get the hang of it, so, either way.

US licenses don’t differentiate. There’s no way to tell by the license which transmission you used on the test. Shouldn’t be a problem.

I’ve also used an unkindness of ravens.

Oh God. This is horrible news. So incredibly frustrating to hear.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

I’ve tried “downloading” albums for long flights, only to have them completely fail to play.

I deleted when I heard they were levying an inactivity fee in Canada.

I don’t live in Canada, but that was a shit move.

While I appreciate this, it would be really nice if they would just extend to all electronic devices.

I usually go with hayberry fields.

Phillips warm glow are my favorites after watching technology connections. They last, and they look just like incandescent bulbs as you dim them.

Call me a hippie all you want, but I usually go back to Pink Floyd lyrics when I get confused which one to use.

“Straw you, out there in the cold…” Just doesn’t sound right.

I’ve heard good things about Tuxedo . No idea if they’re available in Switzerland.

I’m honestly looking for something with a bit more vram than either of these companies offer. I’m 99% new to Linux, I want to play games on my laptop, but I’m dead set on not getting tied down by Win 11.

Assuming the unit-price is comparable, that’s going to save a hell of a lot of money.

I just went to the drive-through (spot the American) COVID/Flu shot clinic. There were probably 40-50 people working there, directing traffic and jabbing arms all day.

Assuming it works, I wouldn’t be surprised if they phase out the injection in a few years.

Me neither. They dry themselves by the time they need clothes.

What the hell’s up with yachts, anyway?

Beyond the status symboI don’t understand the selling point.

Optics.

Sooner or later someone will commit suicide while watching your show, no matter what you do. If that episode happens to contain a suicide scene, and somebody rightly or wrongly connects the dots, you want the disclaimer to be there.

To reprise a bit of schoolhouse wisdom,

whoever smelt it dealt it.

2 alarms, one on the iPad, one on the phone. Full volume, spaced 10 minutes apart.

Edit: these go off almost 2 hours before I have to leave, and I’m asleep 7-8 hours before they go off. My biggest difficulty in waking up on time is not going to bed with enough time to fall asleep for 8 hours.

I have a hard-stop alarm, set 9 hours before I have to wake up, to remind myself to get ready for bed. A full sleep cycle (including morning routine) is an 11-hour time investment for me.

Certainly. Germany is an extreme example.
