I bought them and my future-stepfather bought them around the same time. I was using them mostly for backups IIRC (I've forgotten in the intervening ~25 years). Stepfather definitely was using them for backups.

I most recently played the tutorial for Stranded Deep. Not sure if I'll go any further with it. To mix:

Movie: Eat, Pray, Love (I think? It was on in the background at a bar a few weeks ago; I rarely watch movies).

TV Show: 世界の果てまでいってQ!( ItteQ ) which would potentially fit pretty well.

The prof had mostly transitioned to farming (which sounded utterly ridiculous to me at the time, but I'm a senior engineer who just bought a farm...) already in his early 80s so I'm not sure how familiar he was with the batman creation process.

Per my teacher in the late '90s: it is terrible to leave orphans; always kill whole families. (This was in relation to Oracle DBs and relationships between tables and data)

The only weird one I have is that I can't do cereal and milk. 100% rate of vomiting resulted the two times I tried. I grew up on dry cereal and will, for all roughly two times a year I eat it, continue that. No, I'm not interested in adding water/ice/juice; that's just making wet bread with extra steps. Doesn't bother me that others do it.

Being poor and living out of a car in my early 20s for a bit rid me of any childish restrictions otherwise.

I mean, we don't even do this within Japan. Most things are either flash frozen or kept alive until they can be served. Hell, on TV last night they did a segment on how a lot of the Tuna used by a major Japanese sushi chain (Sushiro) is caught in Malta, frozen on the boat, and then brought to Japan. I get the idea, but it's not a good rule these days.

Nope. Quit facebook years ago, never had insta or threads. Wanted to get an Oculos but hell no.

In Japan they basically do this. It's not illegal to import the liquid nicotine so that's what people do and mix their own (or vape shops also do that in a less-than-legal fashion (allegedly))

I started listing some in Japanese, but realized this site does a better job than I could: https://www.fluentu.com/blog/japanese/japanese-idioms/ I've heard a fair number of those in person, some frequently.

I would immediately ask. As others have mentioned, "this Saturday" would mean the 4th in your example, but next is too ambiguous; the 4th is the next Saturday on the calendar.

This same thing can happen outside of English as well.

You can also look up "half five". Depending upon your culture, it means 5:30 (half PAST five) or 4:30 (halfway UNTIL five in the hour before).

Man, I was alive during the '80s but missed my chance.

That was the second thing I saw. The first was the weird fries box with a straw, heh
