That's pretty neat. It annoys me here that newer crossings tend not to have the beep, and the lights are on a post on the same side - which would be fine but you can't always look at the light and the road, so sometimes it goes green and I don't notice. Having them on the road threshold would make it a bit more obvious I think, even if you're not on a phone.

Yellow Dog in early 2000s, and I think I switched to Debian PPC not long after. My memory of back then is quite hazy. A way while after that I had an Eee PC which I think I put Ubuntu on initially (the desktop was dog slow) and then changed over to LMDE. Have a feeling I had something else on it before Ubuntu... may have been the default Eee distribution, which I forget the name of (think it began with an X).

For the record, that's exactly what I used to do as a child. It's only recently-ish that I've started eating them upside-down - and that's mainly to stop getting chocolatey fingers.

I'm not sure I believe in past lives, but that sounds very much like the sort of thing which would be used as evidence for you remembering a past life.

XP was just 2000 with a teletubby desktop. I absolutely hated it.

Her advice to anyone planning to travel to the US is simply not to go. “First, because of the danger of what could happen to you. And, secondly, do you really want to give your money to this country right now?”

Being overly fake nice because you want a tip. Tbh I'd be more inclined to tip you if you left me alone and stopped talking to me.

The whole tipping thing in USA is weird. Everyone wants a tip, it's entirely random (as a non-American) how much tip to give. Just pay your staff a wage they can actually live on ffs.
