I was trying to remember the last time there was a power outage… I think workers had to cut the main power to our home for a few minutes a few years ago. It wasn’t really a big event.

The US calls everything “French” because they think it’ll sell better.

Sit on my face by Monty Python

Some commercial ones did at some point. I’m not sure if they still do.

I even booted windows to see if it would fix it, but no.

That was on a very exotic yoga 7 pro laptop.

It’s the only piece of software that’s ever behaved that way.

Is that why all the background actors eating with chopsticks are suspiciously young?

You wouldn’t download a migrant.

Ok, no cow riding.
