Gravy. I put gravy on a ton of things. People look like they’re going to be sick when I term them I have pasta with gravy.

I can’t speak for the UK but I believe the situation would probably be same as Australia. That is, there are a bunch of different ways to cut chips.
The thicker chips you mentioned are called steak cut chips.
The fries (thin, McDonald style) are called shoestring fries.
Long, not thin but not thick (best reference I have here KFC style, but don’t know if they’re the same in North America), would be known as straight cut chips.
Sir-Racha. I think it’s Australia only, it’s stocked at our local supermarket and the only thing we’ve ever found that replaces original sriracha for us.
Our bird isn’t with us anymore, but years ago I bought her a special made backpack with mesh windows and some wooden perches inside it so I could take her outside. It was excellent.

Where I work; the public facing staff, security and customer service roles, are now offered to wear one at the start of their shift. They all want to use one.
These workers face abuse - physical assault, threats, harassment - from members of the public.
What has been found is that when they turn the body worn camera on, the other person tends to stop the abuse or at least de-escalates somewhat. (Prior to having body worn cameras available, some of these staff had tried to use their phone to film when in an incident, but it almost always triggered an immediate violent response - one staff had their phone taken and smashed, another was hit in the face)
There has been a decrease in mental health injury claims since using these. My own talks with these staff are that they feel safer, and had asked their employer to procure more body worn cameras as there wasn’t enough for all the staff.
The staff are not required to have them constantly on, they press a button to switch it on when an aggressive situation is forming or they believe they are in danger.
Kalpa needs to attract more developers to keep up with Aeon’s pace. I understand it is usable as a daily driver, but it’s not just a one to one mirror of Aeon with Plasma on top.

Richard Brown is all in on Aeon along with whatever contributors are helping him. Stephen Falken appears to have no one helping him work on Kalpa unfortunately. I disagree with Richard’s stance that Kalpa shouldn’t exist, but I do wish there were some capable people able to help that project.
I don’t mind using Gnome anyway, it actually does solve some networking issues that I’ve always had with Plasma. (Dolphin not handling it well whilst Gnome Files has no issues)
I’ve been using Opensuse Aeon just over a year and it’s done great.
Tumbleweed user for the last 5 years, and dealt with a few issues over that time. The usually infrequent update break that comes with rolling release. And the Opensuse ‘Patterns’ started, which I loathe and it’s a disaster to try to disable them every install.
Aeon hasn’t had any of those issues. It’s been very much a “turn it on and get to work”.
I’ve generally had less issues with Aeon than Tumbleweed - like certain flatpaks not crashing.
But downsides as I see them:
I’m not a gnome guy. It’s fine though, I don’t hate it. But some people can’t stand it.
I had a bit of trouble running wine. Something about the default security policy. There’s a known workaround.
I took it as a question of which distro looks nicest out of the box (like, which distro manager has made real effort to make something particularly nice looking).
Phone: It’s iphone mini because fuck bigger phones
Card holder style wallet- only needs to hold a few cards so don’t need anything bulky: Bank card, drivers licence, Medicare card, construction induction card, myki card for public transport
Keys on carabiner: Car key, house key, mini screwdriver

Attack on Titan anime better than the manga. I love them both, but the musical cues, the animation, the voice acting all take the anime way over.
Where I am the lorikeets and rosellas are often together, like double dating
Kitchen window. About 2x3 metres if I remember right.
We had a trampoline in our backyard, outside the kitchen so mum could watch us while cooking or whatever. There was a huge hill (our house was in a bit of a mountainous area), and we decided to throw some rocks down the hill and bounce them off the trampoline… but we were uncoordinated 10 year olds so we missed every time. And it was just a bunch of little stones gathering in our backyard.
Then I found one rock. Pretty big, had to lift it with two hands and shot-put it down the hill. That was the one that we finally landed on the trampoline. And it bounced right through the kitchen window.
It’s not retroarch. If you have been in emulation for a while that’s enough right there. No one is reusing retroarch cores here.
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Ares
If you don’t want to spend 3 hours setting up an emulator, ares is basically just: open software, click to open what you want to play. The interface isn’t trying to reinvent a weird ps3 or Switch hybrid on your pc. It is similar to regular desktop software ui you might have used during your life.
Ares was developed by Near (rip). If you don’t know who that is, it’s a shame, but I’m not going to go into it here. It’s now maintained by people continuing Near’s work on trying to achieve cycle accurate, preservation quality emulation.
Some of the emulation cores, SNES, 32x, N64, MegaDrive and Sega CD are the best in class, by a wide margin. Turbografx is comparable if not better than mednafen. SNES especially good since that was Near’s main focus for many years - you might know it as bsnes or higan from before they started pushing the ares emulator more before they died.
Some systems are definitely best played elsewhere (mgba is better for gba, Stella is better for 2600, Duckstation for ps1, Sameboy for gameboy colour). But that defeats the purpose of your question. For the sake of having all the emulation in one place, ares usually do fine with these.
It can be taxing. If you are running an older underpowered machine, you might not have a good time.
Depending what systems you want to emulate, just use ares.
I typically log in to facebook a couple times a month to see if anyone sent me any messages.
But then I check it frequently during crises. Our town (small regional town out in the bush) has a community group that shares location and severity of bushfires or storms, local power outages, missing animals, emergency calls, criminal activity (break ins, theft of equipment, suspicious behaviour like unfamiliar vehicles parking outside their house, etc).
I think he’d have one thing to say
“The joke Is on you!”
