Lemmy, youtube, chatting, reading books, duolingo, looking up things. The only thing I'll refuse to do on it is watch movies.

I'd add Ted Chiang with Exhalation. Maybe not so much about the technology itself but about its effects on people, similar to black mirror.

My microwave must be really weak then. The kettle is still faster though

In my experience you won't actually boil water in the microwave because it takes an eternity so you end up with tea in "warm" water instead. Or apparently some people also put the tea bag in the microwave ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

These are all benefits of funding, not private schools. And promoting private schools is how you get less funding for public schools.

Considering the ages there's a good chance OP's parents have Facebook accounts where they've posted their faces. I don't know if there's a (paid) tool that lets you search by facial recognition but it's not too far fetched. That is if they haven't posted this exact picture themselves. I'd say it counts.

The native Maori heard "Ruru" while the British heard a "more pork" phrase.

I couldn't tell if this was sarcasm so I had to find the call: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZyLxi3o4tFQ
...I hear neither

But the barking owl really does bark! https://youtube.com/watch?v=8Se3Ta0aKkk

When learning a programming language I think it's better to find the commands you'd use to compile/run the program and run them in the terminal the first few times so you know what's actually happening behind the run button. Then start running things through the IDE if it's more convenient. If you tell us the language we can help with the commands (is it C?)

It does have an option to only scan after pressing the button. But it gets a bit weird if you just pressed the button to lock the screen as there seems to be a mini race condition somewhere in there.
