...And then the gorilla's hand held up one more finger.

Snake. There are many good versions of it, but I'd say my favourite is the one from coolmathgames.com .

I'd misread the summary and for a minute I thought Trump had killed her dog and she called him out in her book.

I feel hay and grass may end up more expensive than anon thinks... For grass, you need a big place where your horse can graze. Anon either is such a big landowner or intends to rent such land, but it won't be cheap. Then the hay for when the horse is kept indoors... Gotta be a lot of hay. And the means of bringing and storing the hay may be of non-negligible price. Then there are vet bills, because horses can get sick or injured...

I knew someone who owned horses long ago. Well, more like someone whose parents owned horses since we were kids. They even had a coach that these horses could pull. But they didn't use it as a means of transportation unless just doing a simple roundtrip for leisure, and there's a simple reason for that: You can't leave your horse for hours on a parking spot. You can tie it up somewhere maybe, but not for a long time, there aren't many places fit for leaving horses nowadays.

Why bring Donald Trump into this?

Why use stone when we have very good teeth and fingernails? Big stone wants to make us week. Not big big stone, which we can't lift unless very strong, but big little stone.

Who profits the most from such schemes? Credit card processor companies. I believe they're trying to trick us.

Regardless of the result, he'll say the numbers are fake anyway.

That's the thing, if the democrat's only rivals are on their right, the only voters they need to court are the moderate right wing, they have no incentive to make any concession to the left, which they can take for granted.

 

TL:DR : I just want xterm to not do anything special when I start typing ctrl+shift+u so I can write special character, so I must remove the ctrl+u default keybind.

I'm using xterm on a laptop (no discrete gpu and pretty bad integrated graphics, so gpu-accelerated ones like kitty are counterproductive, and I use i3 so an xorg based one sounds better). I also like using vim.

I'm also using a qwerty keyboard, but sometimes write in French and need accents. I've memorized the codes for those I often need, like ctrl+maj+u+e+9 for é, but it doesn't work in xterm because it executes the ctrl+u keybind (delete previous characters and then types "(" (because it's maj+9).

So, following online guides, I've created a .Xresource file with the following code:

XTerm.VT100.translations: #override \n\
   Ctrl <Key>U: none

And I also added the line

exec xrdb ~/.Xresources

But to no avail, even when restarting the x session or manualy running xrdb ~/.Xresources.

What am I doing wrong?

I know we now know they went extinct 66 million years ago, and 64 millions is another date I've seen around, but how long how we known it was definitely way more than 40 millions ? I'm asking because it's the date given in the the song "walk the dinosaurs" by Was (Not Was), and I wondered why such a number. Would it have seed credible at the time, or was it just arbitrary?
