More physical controls is great, so I see this as a win. For navigation and media, I don’t want to be without the screen, but I hate that my ventilation controls are 50 % hidden under touch controls, meaning I usually don’t bother to change them while I drive, because it requires looking away too much.

Wait, when did Paypal buy Honey? 😳

To be fair, most boys aren’t as sophisticated as bots.

You can use FF’s or Chrome’s cookie files: http://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#load-cookies

I would recommend Aria2. It can download several chunks of a file in parallel, resume downloads automatically with a set number of retries, it supports mirrors (maybe not an option for Google Takeout, but for other cases), and it can dpwnload over many different protocols.

Yeah. It’s a good idea to guard against it, but I would still never put spaces in filesnames that I myself choose.

Spaces in file names will always be fiddly though. It’ll work, but it’ll still be wrong, because arguments are space separated, and having spaced file names totally messes with that.

It’s UWQHD. It’s higher than fullHD, so it is high def by definition.

And that’s totally fair, in my opinion. Speech has to flow in the language you speak, or you’ll sound like an idiot. As long as people don’t go around claiming to know and teaching others pronunciations for things that they themselves don’t pronounce the way that was intended.

there are examples like VIP where even though we could pronounce it we pronounce each letter individually.

This always seemed a bit weird to me. In Sweden we do pronounce that as a word. Vipp.

Non-acronym initialisms are an exception. I wouldn’t pronounce the letters in German.

Related. I actually thought it was a sun related thing, like a solar flare, in the comic. Turns out it was butterflies.

Yes, I gathered. I was just wondering what the reason is for starting the x at the top, when it’s easier, imo, to do as we do and start at the bottom.

No, I’m looking at the lowercase one. I don’t understand why it comes in at bottom left but goes to top left before starting the letter.

Okay. And yeah, now that you mention it, I see that there are some tiny symbols there. 😅 It’s funny how every time I hear about cursive writing online it always sounds as if it’s one single thing that’s the same everywhere, but it isn’t. Oh, and also in our cursive, we don’t go back to cross t’s, because that’s part of the character from the beginning.

But how do you you even write it when starting top left? Do you just write it as a backslash and then go back and add the second stroke once the word is finished? Or do you do some convoluted thing where you go in every direction while perfectly retracing your old strokes, to draw the whole thing in one go?

We were taught to start all capital letters at the top and all lowercase letters (as they need to be connected) in the bottom left (or just left for some like v, that don’t really have a bottom left).

Particularly for x, they said we might as well learn to start x from bottom left when printing as well, because then it’ll be consistent with the cursive, but I find that when given the choice, I’m more naturally drawn to go top left to bottom right and then top right to bottom left, so that’s what I do when not writing cursive.

Edit: See my other comment for the cursive we were taught.

Oh, wtf! I just looked up US cursive, and that thing is apparently a G? The horror! That’s certainly not what a cursive G looks like where I’m from. And your capital S just looks like a bigger lowercase s. Same with capital A. Why does it look like a lowercase a?!

Edit: The cursive we learned 30 years ago, for comparison: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Svssfb.jpg

I thought that was a lowercase f. Doesn’t look anything like the cursive J we learned as kids.

There isn’t one, is there?
