No, those are not correct.

If I saw either of those, I would assume that you started learning English recently. (Which is fine, it just means more work for us to understand each other)

As other comments have said the meaning is mostly clear but it's not how native speakers talk.

Just people I know to be trans and working in tech. I didn't guess about loneliness. Actually I would guess about 1/3 of those who come to mind are trans men. Also not especially antisocial compared to the rest of us, but then the joke is that the whole region is antisocial.

"What Is a Laser?"

When I saw that book in the elementary school library it was a revelation: There are books explaining the cool mysterious stuff like that! And written for kids to understand!

I think that one book is a big part of what sent me on the path to geekdom.

It wasn't technically my first nonfiction science book, which would be "Our Friend the Atom" but I wasn't old enough to actually read that when I had it (probably got destroyed before I could). I liked the pictures though.

Oh come on, I only have met like 1 - wait, 2, oh yeah, 3. No, 4... You know what nevermind.

I can't read that without imagining a very extended boss fight.

Danny Trejo is of course Machete (or Uncle Machete to the Spy Kids) - even if he does occasionally rangle Rancors or other roles.

(But only when I can see him. I had no idea he had that many voice roles until looking him up just now)

I always assumed diffraction. Nice that it's even simpler.

I actually try to watch for those at line wraps, but
but this one got me.

Sounds like time for another "Things I won't work with".

Good to know. I'm still waiting on this coming patch.

Sounds like a good thing that they haven't yet
