In the name of all that is good and holy, do not go down that staircase

I know I probably shouldn’t engage, but I really just wanted to spark a conversation. I find the trope interesting. I agree that my Good Place example isn’t that good, but still, no need to be so accusing.

I completely forgot to mention His Dark Materials! Hell doesn’t appear, but Heaven is portrayed as actively bad.

I would +1 this. I’m completely bald, and almost never leave the house without a hat, even in summer. It’s also important protection against sunburn :).

For something comfortable in the summer, I personally often go for brimmed hiking hats. A few that I like:

• Fjällräven Abisko Summer Hat
• Shelta Sun Hawk

I’m working on some outdated memories, but IIRC:

Germany allows dual citizenship now, but used to not allow it in most cases. In those cases, if you applied for German citizenship, you had to express that you were willing to give up your old citizenship. Once you were granted citizenship, you had a certain amount of time (two years?) to show a certificate that you renounced your old citizenship. If you didn’t, your German citizenship would be revoked.

The only one I really remember is Trogdor, but in order to keep it in my heart, I am a proud owner of Trogdor!!: The Boardgame

That is a crazy process. But I’m happy that you were somehow able to get a new passport :).

Depending on the complexity, there’s also abbrev-mode: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Abbrevs.html

There’s a fork of Openboard that is trying to update it, but AFAIK, it’s not published anywhere yet: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

I wish this was exaggerated, but it isn’t at all. Every time I try to learn Haskell, I end up in some tutorial: “You know how you sometimes need to represent eigenvectors in an n-dimensional plane with isotonically theoretical pulsarfunctions? Haskell types make that easy!”

For what it’s worth, you can replace xi with just s or c

Hah, I do know what twerking is, but I never associated it with this phrase. A follow-up: are you actually touching the ground? What body part is touching the ground?

Thanks! I found the instructions here, which don’t seem too hard: https://blog.voip.ms/voip-on-cell-phones-ios-and-android/

But otherwise, VoIP.ms looks pretty much like what I’m looking for. It also seems super super cheap for my needs (keep a phone number alive, make a few calls or SMSes per year).

It’s not as fully-featured as the Emacs one, but yes: https://github.com/nvim-orgmode/orgmode

I use Fastmail on the web, and Aqua Mail as my Android client.

The joy of using almost any enail servie other than Gmail or Outlook is that you can use basically any IMAP client you want :). Yes, I know that they both also support IMAP, but it never seems to work quite as well as one might hope.
