Because most people switching don’t know (or care) about the fediverse and decentralization. They are regular internet users who just want to get away from the cesspool that is twitter, so they go where other people are going.

Any distro on a bootable usb drive. Instant OS, no installation needed, just plug it in.

Nice. Do it with fried rice as well.

The post about Stephen King moving to Threads says otherwise. But to be fair, it’s Threads and not Bluesky, which people here hate more.

Lol good metaphor. Right now we’re just at the point where the ride is fullly pointed upwards and rising to the peak dropoff point that will drop in January.

Use induction or electric stoves. They don’t have a visible fire so that might help with your worry of starting one. But remember it can still happen of course, it just helps that you’re not seeing an actual fire while cooking. Like others said, you can also use other electric cookware like an airfryer, griddle, etc. Just make it a habit to be always present and not forget that you’re cooking something and you’ll avoid most burning/fire accidents.

Definitely Texas BBQ. Houston is also regarded as having the best and most diverse food in the state. So try whatever you can that won’t interfere with your treatment. As others said, NASA Space Center.

You practice minimalism because of the aesthetic and lack of clutter.

I practice minimalism because I don’t have money.

We are not the same.

The movie Interstellar supposedly had physicist consultants to try to get the depictions of space stuff as accurate as possible, in particular the blackhole. Not sure if the wormhole is the same, since we have no actual scientific data or evidence of one. So that’s probably the best guess they could make.

The only correct answer:

It’s in the name. It’s fast. You order at a drive-thru and you’re on your way in a couple of minutes. I agree though that prices are insane now and doesn’t justify the quality. I’d rather go to an asian restaurant for their lunch specials and get more for my buck.

It went down when they realized you can’t just walk into Canada.

Yup, their draconian drug laws are definitely a big concern if you partake (regardless if for medicinal or recreational reasons). I personally do not, so it’s not a particular issue for me.

Singapore. One of the few (if not the only) developed country in the east/southeast Asia region where you can get by not having to learn a new language. Great public transportation. I’m an urban person so dense megacities are my thing. I’m also Asian so I blend in.

Since you’re absolutely sure it’s an unauthorized charge, file a chargeback with C1. The worst that can happen is the restaurant blacklists you, which isn’t too bad since you wouldn’t want to go back to an establishment that charges random tips without your knowledge. Also, it’s not like a big business like an airline or something where getting blacklisted can be a pain.

Ok now the song is in my head for the entire day.

John Travolta in Broken Arrow. John Woo slowmo style + the music.

Back in my home country, we exclusively called them pickups. “Truck” was used for anything from box trucks to 18-wheelers. But the passenger vehicles with beds were called pickups, regardless if it was a Maverick or an F150. Took a while for me to adapt to calling them trucks in the US.

Went to a nearby island with my wife when we visited my hometown. It’s not exactly a tourist destination so there was like one hotel and we were the only guests. We just stayed overnight so we ordered breakfast at the hotel. I don’t even remember what it was anymore but I started feeling weird on the way back. I thought I was just seasick from the boat ride. Shortly after we arrived back on the mainland, I was alternating puking and pooping for over 2 hours.
