The human embodiment of Internet Explorer, everyone.

“Seriously guys, I’m a doctor! I have a PhD!”

“Sure buddy, what was your dissertation about again?”

“Uh… the beneficial effects of marine mammal urine on–”

“Whale piss! Enjoy your pee-hD, weirdo.”

It’s like the wholesome counterpart to “boob.” Both kinda sound like what they describe, but “bosom” feels classy.

The general meaning is the appearance of truth or validity.

But I usually use it to describe something that is “believable” even if the underlying premise is not. So a fantasy story that pays close attention to detail and is highly consistent might be described as having versimilitude. On the other hand, a story where the characters make out-of-character choices might be lacking versimilitude, even if there are no overtly “fictional” elements to the story.

That’s usually how I’ve heard it used, not sure if it’s the “main” usage though.

Ever since reading it in my kids’ Bluey book: bumblenuts (context is, “g’day, bumblenuts!” following an introduction)

At some point, someone asked themselves, “what would happen if an entire generation suffered from lead poisoning?” and I blame them for this timeline.

Doubtful. Without Linux running the majority of the internet, I doubt the desktop scene would look the same as it does today.

I’m not an expert, but any time I’ve needed to do this, I set up my own router as a client to the parent router, and I set my router (client) as the DMZ in the parent router. Effectively you end up with two routers that are both (more or less) connected directly to the internet, without the two networks messing with each other. It’s also minimally invasive to the parent router (even old stock firmware has always had a DMZ option).

The tricky part then is using the wireless connection as your “WAN port,” rather than a physical one. In which case, as long as you can install OpenWRT on it, you should be fine.

Arrest him, y’all bumblenuts!

Haha nope

Finally. I’ve been offering for years.

step down

How about we call for his arrest and trial?

I’m really sorry to hear that. Sometimes life puts us in a place where we need our family, even if they’re awful.

That all sucks. To answer your question: decide whether you really have to deal with them forever. In this case, unless I’m missing something significant, it sounds like you could cut your brother and his family out of your life. It sounds like their contributions are exclusively negative, and after going behind you and your mother’s backs with the land thing, you’d be perfectly justified to cut them out.

In short: don’t deal with them.

Oh! And if she’s into puzzles, look at Islands of Insight. First person with puzzle solving as the main mechanic, but also some exploration and a bit of mystery to it.

I’d consider what kind of game she finds fun and compelling–that’s more likely to engage her to become familiar with the mouse/keyboard combo.

That being said, Minecraft on peaceful mode would fit and is generally approachable. Stardew Valley is pretty relaxed as well, though I don’t remember whether it uses WASD specifically.

Yeah, but right now it’s about SCOTUS. Sometimes it’s other stuff.

No.

The frame really wraps it up nicely. Good work! Here’s hoping we can live to see a time where this kind of art isn’t a reflection of our reality.
