Thanks for the perspective, that makes sense!

What aspect of this appeals to you? I'm having a hard time understanding the appeal of it.

I enjoy a good Irish breakfast, not sure what specifically is the difference between that and a traditional english breakfast. Just tastes smoother to me.

I tried the bidet but it's too powerful for my nose, just felt like I was waterboarding myself. 0/10, not recommend.

When is the last time you actually went on the e&n bike path? It's parallel to the railway line, the tracks are still there. Additionally, Victoria has the highest proportion of commuting bike riders in the country thanks to our mild weather a decent bike infrastructure. Every one of those bikes on the path is a car not on the road.

Edit: autocorrect fudged some words.

That's just the name of House's arch rival.

Yes, exactly. Focus on commuting sections first, then open it up further for leisure travel and freight.

Getting a passenger car or two onto the track compared to freight trains requires far less upgrading and is much easier/feasable at first.

While I agree we need to eventually do that, the cost of updating the track (and particularly the bridges) for the whole route is making it expensive. Just get the langford to downtown portion up and running to prove (like it needs proving) the concept. Once it is operational then it can be expanded upon in sections, go to Duncan, cowichan valley, etc and move up island. The priority should be alleviating the colwood crawl.

Y'all better not be driving any green (gayer) or yellow (gayest) vehicles either!

she was warned by the army’s morale and welfare services that she should have better understood the risks of the job.

Job requirements:

  • must be able to lift 50 lbs
  • must be able to work shifts
  • must accept getting sexually assaulted from time to time

She must have missed that line in the job description.

I'm doing my part!

 

So I've realized that in conversations I'll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I've been thinking that it's not as inclusive to women/trans people.

For example I would say:

"What's up guys?" "How's it going man?" "Good job, my dude!” etc.

Replacing these terms with person, people, etc sounds awkward. Y'all works but sounds very southern US (nowhere near where I am located) so it sounds out of place.

So what are some better options?

Edit: thanks for all the answers peoples, I appreciate the honest ones and some of the funny ones.

The simplest approach is to just drop the usage of guys, man, etc. Folks for groups and mate for singular appeal to me when I do want to add one in between friends.

 

I'm looking for a simple alternative to Splitwise to self host. Currently my partner and I use it to keep track of monthly expenses to ensure there is roughly even spending between us. Doesn't have to be complex, in fact the simpler the better as my partner prefers simple, ready to use tech. It would only need to be accessed locally as we update expenses once or twice a month, and would prefer FOSS to have control over our data.

I thought of having a Spreadsheet that is synced using syncthing between my computer and her phone. This seems simple on my end, but I worry that it would be more complicated for my partner as they primarily would use this on their iphone. Currently on splitwise you can add expenses with only a couple button presses.

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for an app to help learn the basics of language similar to Duolingo. Something to become conversational to get started.

As the title says, is there a good mobile alternative for excel on fdroid? I found libreoffice but it hasn't worked so far with any spreadsheet I've tried opening.
