This makes me think about vellichor! And the smell of piñon in the first cold spell of fall.

I think it is a great idea.

I would be interested in a mozzarella cheesecake. Like a soufflé but less egg?

What is cake? It sounds like there are some options here 😋

I will look into dessert lasagna!

I have made baklava as recently as a year ago, and have heard of savory baklava, so why not?

I’m not sure if I buy this but a sweet lasagna could be interesting 🤔

That’s a good point. Flannel would probably not wear well as pants, either. I’ll simmer down 🫣

but flannel pants are pajamas are only for wearing inside

What? Have you never seen the Mighty Mighty Bosstones? You can definitely get legitimate (plaid) pants. Probably not flannel not sure that matters here if the pattern is what you have in mind.

I have never plugged a keyboard into my Linux laptop, but it does have a function key to turn the keyboard off. So did my last one. I use a windows laptop for work and that keyboard does not turn off when an external keyboard is plugged in FWIW.

What is facewashing?

I’m not sure how to feel about this, either, haha. But both my sister and I are 40+ and she has not had a computer for at least 10 years. Smartphone only.

Would this not just be suicide? Linguistically, this would be “you,” but “you” would be “me.” It’s even weirder than talking about oneself in third person… IMO.

I am US based, so maybe not relevant, but is it a good replacement for Merlin?

Does this have maps of it’s own?

I use this, it’s pretty great! Not really a replacement for the stock app, but I use a non-stock OS so it doesn’t matter to me. It is more like messaging before GIFs and whatnot, but not hard to figure those things out if you want them.

Ya, it works! But it is very much like a phone interface on the computer. Maybe not perfect but it exists.

This was the main reason my mom’s side didn’t pass language down. Not even food! Just assimilate 🤷‍♂️ But they were peasants in a new country so best to make it work in the easiest way possible. It sounds like OP has it pretty rough 🙁

Then the follow up of a sore tongue tip for the next three days from doing battle with said kernel.

I have this exact feeling when “discussing” this topic with folks that believe a country should be run as a business. It’s so misguided! People are residents, not employees, and they shouldn’t be able to be fired by the country they are living in. This “firing” does seem to be happening in the US right now, tho 👎

For my work, we sometimes use “don’t let perfect get in the way of good enough,” but at this point in time your framing seems particularly apt.
