Probably lutefisk, fish cured in lye.

I’m afraid I may fail that version of the Voight-Kampff Test.

Wow, a DEC AlphaStation computer. That couldn’t have been cheap.

Only Mac OS 10 and later, based on BSD, uses ‘/‘. (And, I guess, A/UX.) Classic MacOS used a ‘:’, but it wasn’t regularly exposed in the UI. The only way most users would know is that the colon couldn’t be used in a file name.

Indigenous names are heavily used. Half the states have Native American derived names, a much larger proportion than I thought. Pre-European population density was much lower, though so there were a lot fewer settlements to name.

It’s useful for people with unisex names like Taylor, Chris, or Jordan, especially in email, where you may not have any face-to-face contact.

Sucks for anyone named Jamie or Alex. Trump is acting like he won in a landslide, even though he wasn’t even able to scrape together a majority of votes; more people voted against him than for him.

No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There’s always a boom tomorrow.

I think you forgot a light. No worries, you have a few weeks to fix it before the cruise.

Kids, look for a build-your-own cannon kit inside the box! Limited time offer.

Is this even lawful? The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 is supposed to prohibit federal armed service members from getting involved in civil law enforcement, except in a few narrowly defined exceptions. Running detainment camps for immigrants does not seem to fall under any of those exceptions.
