You must be a linguist; the only other person I’ve ever witnessed using the word “conjugate” was my mother, who taught me basically everything I know about grammar.

That seems very likely. I guess my YouTube search skills aren’t what I thought they were. Thank you.

I heard about this when I was in my twenties, forgot the details, and purchased The Great Gatsby instead.

I thought I was missing something for the longest time. I guess I was.

There’s a reason for them! I can’t find the original video I saw about it, but this one explains it pretty well:

I also like how sarcastic this person sounds (at least to me) during their sponsor segment.

edit: Removed the timestamp from the YouTube link.

Thank you for putting in the work!

Debian is well known for maintaining established packages in its repos. This means that all of the software is thoroughly tested, and therefore (usually) stable; however, the software in question is generally older, so it also means that sometimes you’ll have to find your own approach if you want to run any newer services.

You’re exactly right! Thank you for compensating for my inadequate memory.

I’ve been trying (admittedly very complacently) to find out what it was for some time; if I knew, I’d be happy to tell you.

Pulling back the foreskin makes it way more challenging and uncomfortable to piss. I don’t really discuss the status of my foreskin with anyone, so maybe I’m unexpectedly in the minority, but … What?

This is the second picture I’ve seen in the last hour depicting the legs of someone in the bathroom. Is this the vengeance of the “can’t poop” guy?

I won’t deny I forget shit, as you say, but 99% (hang on, let me check that on my calculator) of why I look stuff up is to double check.

Most (but definitely not all) of why I use private browsing, for example, is because I’m looking up a tech question to which I know the answer, but about which I want to be certain before I make a git commit.

I like to drink, but I never drink and drive.

I once was at the only liquor store in my small town. While I was making my selection, another customer came in and asked “is it okay if I park out front?”

The clerk answered “oh, the cops don’t give out tickets around here.”

Didn’t love overhearing that from them.

I don’t agree, but I suppose that’s a fair assessment.

Agreed, but I don’t think the urban legend was claiming that they were doing this legitimately.

While this is good advice, at least where I’m from it’s no guarantee of not suffering the legal consequences as if you had.

Wait, that’s the impact of nitrous oxide? Relaxed I can understand, but why would anyone seek out “light-headed and dizzy”?

As always, I don’t mean to criticize anyone who is safely enjoying their time as they desire, but that doesn’t sound fun to me. It sounds like being uncomfortably drunk.

That kind of sounds like Gemini Man in some ways (unless I’m severely misremembering, which is very possible).

Photic sneeze reflex

I have this, too. It’s useful when I’m trying to work out a sneeze, but can be confounding if that happens at night. Sometimes artificial light will work, but rarely.

The book I’m referencing was written in, IIRC, the 90’s or early 00’s. None of the ones that turned up in my search were it.

However, in case the one you’ve seen referenced was the one I mentioned, the premise I remember from reading it as a kid is basically that you should pay more attention to your subconscious. The bulk of what I recall is examples of people not doing that and discussion of how you can.

I do remember one specific thing from it. It describes the actions of a kangaroo before engaging in violence. It then specifies that that description is false, but you’ll never forget it. It’s true; I don’t remember why that came up in the book, but I’ve never forgotten the described actions.
