My dad first showed me QuickBASIC when I was 6. I didn't understand the concept of syntax as distinct from semantics at the time but I was still able to learn it.

Vegetable is a culinary category, with no botanical/biological definition. I don't see a reason why mushrooms don't belong in it.

Between several different human families that don't know about each other.

Are you worried that Chloe is going to get bullied or ostracized by Annie, Stevie, Ruth, and the others because of her human-given name?

I quite like my Kubuntu Focus. I found some people complaining about the durability of System76 chassis (apparently they're plastic) and that's why I didn't go with them.

I liked Bradley Cooper but after watching American Sniper I can't see his face anymore without seeing the smug visage of imperialist murder.

If you don't use a DE, it looks like there are ways to enable it in window managers as well. You'll have to look up specific instructions for yours.

Some desktop environments set a default compose key, but you might have to set one manually. Common choices are the menu key or the right alt key if you don't use it much.

Mostly it just defines a set of pretty standard and sensible combinations to add accents or other modifiers to existing characters, but there's quite a bit you can do with it.

One of my smaller incentives for getting the family group chat off Messenger and onto Signal was to be able to share memes from Hexbear without converting them.

In Time (2011). Time is currency in the dystopia in the film - paying for something decreases your lifespan, earning wages increases it.

The movie sets up a really cool class structure, wherein there are rich people born with/inheriting hundreds of thousands of years of life, and poor people barely managing to scrape enough hours to stay alive until they can earn more the next day. There are segmented areas of the city that cost years to get into.

Overall incredible premise, but the story wasn't exceptional beyond a couple of the cool mechanics you might expect based on said premise.
