I wrote essentially the same, swapping the writer bit with 'ESL who worked hard on learning English.'

But it wasn't Word, it was Notepad. That was my last straw, I saved my files and nuked Windows entirely.

I'm using nearby here in the North-American sense - 15 miles or so.

Hope it goes smoothly! I lived nearby (Alderley Edge) for a little bit way-back-when. The Edge itself it a great walk.

Atlas himself (or Glenn Close, the closest available titan.) couldn't carry this thing.

Lorwyn Eclipsed, hands down - putting my money where my mouth is and snagging both decks and a booster box.

I grew up on TNMT and literally learned English watching ST:TNG. But those are just different things to me.

Even we Francophones have no additional vowels in that one. Figures.

I walked ~16km from my village to the nearest music store when they called to say they had TFA in stock, and I couldn't find a ride. Worth.

In Canada, and we opted for cats after talking it out extensively.

It's better here, sure, but the issue is the World, overall.

We've had two that I'm aware of, over the years - a summer fry shack, and another....really sad attempts of a restaurant which I think lived for 2-3 years, had Cantina-style fare. They survived through catering gigs.

[quickly adds you to our calendar] HBD! Did not know you were two days after Ash until, well, now.

Waiting for mine to arrive at the local indie place! I'll need a place of honor for it amongst everything else.

^ That exact scene is why I eventually gave the show a shot; very much enjoyed it, looking forward to the upcoming bits of it.

And you're absolutely right - it's like people mix up threat and treat. It's not 'Oh, nice!' it's 'Oh, shit' even when at rest.

Clicks over depth and/or skill. Enshittification but in a meatsuit.
