But given infinite time, could OP spell “infinity” correctly?

Back when the X-Files was ruling the airwaves, in the 90s, there was a companion show called Millennium. The first season was a bit weak, focusing on serial killers and gore. Second season went completely off the rails in the best way possible. The third season was a lackluster attempt to regain a wider audience.

I would recommend watching the second season for sure. It has religious satire (you will know exactly who they are skewering when you see it), the occult, end of days, mixed in with humor and solid human drama. The season finale, when they thought that they weren’t going to be renewed, is extraordinary.

Just in case anyone is wondering how true this is, about 10 years ago, an Australian TV anchor decided to keep wearing the same suit and see how long it took people to notice.

After a year, no one had mentioned it.

That said, I agree with the man’s statement that it would overwhelmingly be women who criticized other women for wearing the same clothes.

I have done pair programming with a junior partner, and I found it extremely beneficial. Taking the time to talk out my ideas and logic invariably helped make them clearer in my mind and realize pitfalls much sooner than I otherwise would have.

I had to explain things clearly and logically, and he was bright enough to ask good questions and point out typos as I was coding.

One of the teachers at my high school was a Catholic priest. He had been accused of molesting a young boy when he was in a parish so the bishop, in his wisdom, moved him to an all boys boarding school.

He was later found guilty of molesting the original boy and the parish, as well as a boy at my school. From what I know now, he was definitely grooming one of my classmates, so there were probably many more victims.

He was given 3 years probation, and died a year or two ago, more than 40 years since I had him as a teacher.

In Ontario, any organization that receives provincial money must reach a certain accessibility level on its website, or risk having its funding removed.

Even as a 13-year-old, I could see gaping holes in the plot and inconsistencies. The aliens were hardly alien.

Even more so, I could see that the writing was clumsy and the dialogue was stilted. I could see how the writer was developing the story, and so I was not pulled into it at all. I was actually thinking to myself that I could write something like this. And I was 13!

I haven’t seen the movie, but from the sounds of it many of the problems with the book are also on screen.

Note for non-Canadians that “Newfoundland and Labrador” is a single province.

The database app in LibreOffice, based on the Firebird database engine, can do all that.

I don’t know if this counts, but when I was about 13I was very excited to find an enormous book in my favorite genre at the time, Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard.

It was the first book I ever put down in disgust without finishing. In the almost half-century since then, there are under a dozen that I haven’t finished. Shows you just how bad it is.

It’s not clear to me if this still conker was painted or otherwise designed to pass as a real one. I could see someone who was an enthusiast carrying around a metal version as a good luck charm or a memento.

That’s kind of in the same realm as all the vampires in the world suddenly developing an aversion to crossed sticks and blessed water in 33 AD.

I started with a book too. But it was 1996, and the distro was Yggdrasil, and the book was a printout of all the man pages. I used it for a Prolog programming course, so that I didn’t have to go to the university and use their computers. Of course, then I discovered the joys of different flavors of Prolog.

This is actually inspired by a very famous Iron Man comic cover from the late 1970s, where Tony Stark confronts his alcoholism for the first time.

If you want to know where the writers of the Iron Man movies drew their inspiration, it was largely from the comics of this era.

I haven’t done it, bit I believe that with a pressure cooker you don’t need to soak the chickpeas.

“doivent” is third-person plural (they, not I)

Oh, and I didn’t notice that autocorrect changed my French to English. Should be"dois" or, as you say, “devrais” for the conditional.

All but one of my grandparents had died before I was born, and the remaining one died when I was about 10. She was a stickler for social rules, so I found her kind of intimidating.

That’s one of the nice things about the law in Quebec. Binding arbitration clauses are illegal.
