Some of the names there have been staples of my childhood... but others, I've got no idea.

And IDK if it's just me or the 90's have been really good for OPM with all the variety there is.

But Peking duck is known as part of Chinese cuisine, right?

Ah hell, I'll take it. Peking duck slices on sushi rice, or a peking duck rice bowl with char siu sauce or whatever. Maybe char siu-stuffed nigiri. Think of the possibilities!!

Good point. I guess there's a balance to be made: secure enough plugging such that it won't easily be unplugged, and yet not so strong that the cable (or the plug) breaks instead.

As someone living in a country which uses a variant of Type B (without the ground pin), appreciate the design of Type F.

Mainly because it recessed, which helps with making the plug more securely plugged in. I think it has features that makes plugs really secure, and won't be yanked off, which happened to me quite a lot (tripping on a wire, yanking off something off the wall socket, etc).

I've got to go think about it for a second, and then I get to realize what it meant.

I almost ate the onion here. I thought it's the band who wrote the paper they submitted for peer review—and which they put into practice via their music.

Something like a polyrhythmic approximations to Pi where the music's time signature started off as 3/1, then 22/7, and then 333/106 etc.

IDK, I'm neither a music nor a maths guy.


EDIT:

A word.

I got <first_name_initial><middle_name_initial><last_name>@gmail.com in imitation of my university webmail account name. My brother who had the same first name and middle name initials knew this and had adjusted accordingly.

However, recently, someone registered this e-mail for school and I kept receiving their school e-mails.

My e-mail account is already roughly two decades old at this point, so I thought I was safe from this kind of problem.

I'm not really this person but I've often been told I am too comfortable with people to be an introvert.

I can attest to this though. Even if I'm not front and center of a social gathering, it's still incredibly draining to me, and would take a few days to recharge. Even longer if I've got to be in charge and be front and center (takes a few weeks to recharge from that).

I think it's a difference between what is natural (being alone, recharging, etc.) and what is forced (being front and center in a crowd). Being an introvert doesn't mean you can't learn being comfortable being front and center in a crowd. As you've said, it's a matter of how you gain energy and what mode you're most at home with.

If it's nuclear, take a deep breath, and hope it's a swift death. I live just south of the capital city of our country, and near a wealth of government and military targets.

If it's conventional, take a deep breath and brace for the worst. The attack would cause much panic--either people trying to get out of the city, or stocking up on food, or both!

I remember making an essay about how Boxxo had some issues he had to deal with first, and how I am looking forward to the anime showing him dealing with those issues with the help of Huelmy, Lammis, Michael (who seems to be the most well-adjusted guy in the group--if it weren't for his speaking hang-ups), and the others.

I remember noting that Boxxo doesn't even mind remaining a vending machine forever, and likely doesn't even want to turn back to being a human. And that not getting telepathy is a sign of this.

No...? But I did the math correctly, and for a certain interpretation of "attend", I am a day too late.
