unfortunately, sometimes the chef likes to ascend from a golden staircase first to tell you about who they are and what the meal means to them, whilst passionately discussing their good friend's VPN company, before finally, dramatically, letting you actually sit down and eat.

It wasn't always like that. I remember when dishes were thrown fresh out of the kitchen without even a "heads up" call. Those were good meals.

Ah, I think you're right. I actually learned the word first from a Cory Doctorow novella I, Robot (no, not Asimov), and there I can see it's definitely spelled with a "C".

My ex was Italian-German, so linguistically "C" felt right for her when writing, but to spell it out she would use a "K" since the letter C in german doesn't exist (yeah okay it does but not by itself, and if it does then it's mostly from imported words... like capeesh....), and I've probably overwritten the spelling of "capeesh" in my head from that.

PianOli: A little toy piano for your kids to play without being able to swipe out and mess with your other apps.

Flashlight: Flashlight from the Simple suite, that allows you to pulse or strobe your phone's torch. It can even pulse SOS messages.

Moonlight: Stream your entire desktop (e.g. gaming PC) to your phone using the sunshine (previously nvidia gamestream) protocol. Works fantastic.

starred this comment, great recommendations

I'd also like to add:

WiFiAnalyzer: Find empty channels to put your network into, and also scan hotel rooms for hidden wifi cameras

GPSTest: Debug your GPS signal to see why its taking so long to lock on.

LocalSend

I've been using TrebleShot for that for a years now, but maybe I'll try LocalSend

But that's "Kapee-chair", the high Italian word. I'm using the bastardised americanised version of the word learned from likely Sicialian migrants and popularised in film and media

Um, whilst I agree that the powers that be are definitely anti-palestine, this is just a video of cops chasing a kid who happens to be holding a palestine flag.

Given that other people are also holding flags and not being chased, I'm guessing they're not chasing him just because he's holding the flag.

This is pretty disingenuous social media reporting.

Edit: The novaramedia link up in the thread does seem to show excessive police action against peaceful protest. I don't think the video shows this, but it could be related.

I've moved back to my country of birth and Taco Bell seems to be a thing here now.

I've tried the quesadillas and the crunch supreme and it's been... life changing.

What else should I be trying?

Ours plays the 1979 hit Music Box Dancer which is weird because it's definitely not public domain.

I've started reading Jumper by NameDoesNotMatter. I would like to formally apologise about all the harsh things I've ever spoken about that film.

Fine, the cast is unlikeable and the action scenes are just fisticuffs in the air, but my god, in comparison to the teenage dreck that is the book, it's a masterpiece. At least they tried to build a credible back story for the main character.

In the book, he literally thinks everyone is out to sexually assault him (and somehow they seem to), he solves his problems by throwing money at it, instead of any actual creativity, and the author desperately tries to portray him as a mature-for-his-age adult, despite the fact that his first reaction to anything is crying followed by petty revenge.

I'm just flicking through the pages, pausing at any plot bits, and then flicking on.
