Yeah, I instinctively tried to open mine with vinyl gloves on once and immediately thought “I’m dumb, gotta take these gloves off first.” That was a good shock when it actually worked first try, much confusion…
This is what too much English grammar does to one… I hardly understand myself. But nah lol that’s not how I always talk, I was just trying to use perfect grammar since the whole point was to defend an unusual grammatical construct.
“Below” is used as a stranded preposition in your case (the more generally accepted usage), whereas the original post uses it at an adjective. While usage of “below” as an adjective is not universal, it is still accepted by some dictionaries. I could only find the Webster English Dictionary as an example, so I suppose it’s mostly exclusive to American English. So yes, your example is the more universal mode (as well as my personal preference), but American English generally accepts the above usage as proper grammar. (The sentence above, as well as this one, demonstrate the usage of “above,” a relative locus, as both an adjective and a preposition in modern English).
Is this how you get Heimdal? (mythologically “the Son of 9 mothers”)
This is the way.
Valid, but I do believe you’re overthinking a forced star wars pun…
Exactly. The fallacy of undistributed middle is strong with this OP…
All stupid people are no-sayers. (DU) You are a no-sayer. (DU) Therefore you are a stupid person. (DU) AAA syllogism - invalid due to above fallacy.
“The middle term must be distributed at least once.”
All !do is do not (!do); all do is do. [law of non-contradiction]. All try = do or !do [succeeds or fails, proven by observation]
Therefore, no try != Not (do or !do)
Therefore try is a useless term / there is no distinct “try” that is neither do nor do not.
One must do or do not; there is no try.

I find the opposite to be true for me, but I’m the type that will sit down and read a textbook for entertainment as well. Purely informative podcasts, not entertainment etc. I’ve learned a lot of philosophy and ancient history via Spotify actually, it’s a very useful medium for information access, for those so inclined.
I’d pirate it and donate directly to the dev.
Instructions unclear, a local senator’s wife throws a kernel error and won’t boot now… Help.
I’d say say at least use a VPN. Most of the suggested security practices are easy enough there’s really no reason not to…
I know absolutely nothing about Steam Deck, but it seems like games made for mobile gaming might have potential. COD Mobile comes to mind. That paired with better graphics, more power, and a controller-like interface, with cross-platform between the deck and mobile like Minecraft did with the bedrock edition seems like an idea…
The only reason I use HULU Live TV is for live sports - ESPN works too, but hulu isn’t that much more and I get the whole bundle with Disney+.
Don’t think that’s necessary (mods will decide), but you’re definitely being scammed…
Proton mail has a free VPN that works really well. Switzerland is part of world coverage tier, but Netherlands is just as good at hiding torrenting from ISP’s. And it can even use a ‘stealth mode’ that works fairly well to get around VPN blockers by using unusual protocols for the traffic.
