Starbucks coffee, and even more so, their tea. Just doesn't seem like a good use of my money, since I can make it at home for a lot less money.

As long as I can remember, LibreOffice Writer has not handled fonts with more than 4 variants well. E.g. I have a font that has the standard Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic, but it also has 4 of the same but "Extended" (so more space between characters). LibreOffice does not display the Extended variants in the WYSIWYG editor at all, only showing the regular widths.

I think I looked up at one point that this has been raised as an issue, but never fixed. Is that just because it's not a priority for the devs, or maybe something else?

I played through the first one when it came out and really loved it. Never played the sequels though, for whatever reason.

This is probably just me, but I've tried to play through the original on an emulator over the years, and I had a hard time getting in to it. Just felt kind of slow from what I'm used to now.

I'm all of those things, but not an active Linux user any more. Definitely been there before though.

While not always too significant, many credit cards also offer points or cash back. I do the same as you (use my credit card for practically everything and always pay it off), and can use whatever points I get to make small mortgage prepayments, buy gift cards, etc.

When they installed it to my house, they left some of the bare fibre lying on the ground. It's a little thicker than the fibre you see in those "fibre optic flower lamps", but not by much. If I'm not mistaken, the blue wire you see in the picture is to help detect the cable after it's buried.

Canada, but all of what you said sounds right.

I like to make mistakes

People seem to love Brother printers. I have an Epson Ecotank that seems to be pretty good so far.

I had this game my NES back when it came out and absolutely loved it. I still probably play through it every couple of years.

Other than the right to use the FIFA name, and call a tournament the World Cup, does EA lose anything else? I think that's mostly it, right? I'm going to guess most fans won't care.

Not sure I ever got those either, though I definitely got the ones where the controller would "stop working".
