It was friends and YouTube content creators from the UK that made me realize that dropping the L isn't done everywhere else. I grew up thinking that it was just one of those English words that break all the pronunciation rules.

This is mine too! My phone's hotspot is "Get off my lawn you damn kids".

I'm on the west coast, Northern California. Huh.

I already do this with the word "solder" which confuses my fellow Americans greatly. They seem to think I'm lying that the L is sounded out in some other English speaking countries.

I just think the American pronunciation (SAW-dur) sounds wrong.

Pussies are warm, deep, and can be quite resilient. Trump voters as a whole have a long way to go before I would bestow them with that honorable title.

White chocolate has no cocoa powder it is just cocoa butter, sugar, and milk. You could try just heating cocoa butter and milk, and adding whatever small amount of sugar you wish. You might want to add a bit of vanilla at the end, if you heat vanilla for too long the flavor is mostly lost.

I am a California native that lived in Metro Austin for three years. The lack of a state tax didn't make up for the ridiculous property taxes at all. The one other huge expense that a lot of transplants don't realize is the water bill. Prices are ridiculous to begin with and on top of the bill many neighborhoods had to pay a fee for the MUD - Metropolitan Utility District - to pay off the bond that was issued to build the local water source.

Have you tried Days Gone? It had a rough launch, but it ended up being quite good, IMO. Might be worth a look.

There is no install needed, you can just edit permissions and make the file executable and then when you open it or click it the app runs.

What won't be created by default is an application menu to run it from whatever desktop environment you use. You can create those if you wish. You can create a launcher in the menu manually, or you can use a tool called AppImageLauncher to create these for you.

There's a pretty good explanation here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1311600/add-an-appimage-application-to-the-top-menu-bar

There's a name I haven't heard in a while. Sure was a giant leap at the time with the hardware detection, and live CD.
