Embedded for convenience:

“smoking” and “cured” mean something else when talking about meat

I will always use the GUI for this when given the option. Change my mind (you can’t).

I agree on the merits, but the contrarian in me has to point out that any company is a monopoly through some convoluted interpretation. For example: Logitech has a monopoly on mice and keyboards that work with their proprietary software.

Prescriptivist much?

I don’t know 24, but 9 is:

Nice. I solved 22 (with 2 of them being unsure), there’s 12 I don’t know. I can only assume the multiple listings of ‘List files in current directory’ is a deliberate joke because you use it so much, but somehow it doesn’t feel right.

You should find a website to share it where people can play it interactively! I’m sure such websites are out there, it’s too obvious.

I think they meant shoot in like a friendly way. You know, happiness bullets!

Relevant snippet:

Seek refuge inside on a higher floor. Make sure you always have an exit route – don’t get trapped in an attic with no windows, for example. If the water looks to engulf the house/property, get on the roof if you can and signal for help.

That was great

Isn’t that how it usually goes?

This man is happy to let the nation burn to the ground, and pour extra fuel on top, so long as he stays in power.

nitpick: he’s not potus

He put them everywhere except on his eyes, where they are known to have the most benefit? (See: Hollywood et al, every spa scene ever, 1800-2024)

Oh so I didn’t even get it right in the end. Some of it might just be me being stupid, but most of it is the presentation’s fault. The audience here can’t be expected to know this convention, by default comics in English go left to right, top to bottom.

Took me 3 reads to figure out that it goes top to bottom on the left, then top to bottom on the right. If there was funniness originally, it was lost in the confusion of trying to read it…

Windows’ might be complex, but it is NOT graceful. If you have notepad open with unsaved text, then shutdown will never shut down - but nothing on the screen will make this obvious to a non-technical person.

Sometimes I can sneakily snip 2 or 3 of my cat’s daggers while she’s sleeping before she wakes up and refuses any more. It’s dangerous and scary. There is no other way.
