I love Gorillaz and have listened to Deltron 3030 plenty of times but never made the connection!

Many people here do not save up for one, especially younger/low-income folks. They get loans on their credit cards. The perceived status is a big deal.

I also saw a video of a teen who made his poor parents give up several years’ worth of savings to get him an iPhone. The store owner made the video and boasted about it, which was disgusting. The kicker is the teen didn’t even get the unboxing experience. The store owner opened the box and showed off the phone before handing it over.

UrGenus is a gas giant.

By the law of names, the kid is now a cicada.

Mahua is a perfectly cromulent Bengali name.

Proboscis penis; it can make your skin crawl!

What about triangular taco shells? That’s just two sides.

F9-F12 are useful when you’re debugging code in Visual Studio.

I sometimes use F6 to jump to my browser’s address bar.

Can’t imagine any uses for F7 or F8 though. And all the times I’ve opened a help screen with F1 have been on accident.

My main gripe with function keys on laptops is they’re tiny and easy to mix up, especially since they have large brightness, volume, etc. icons on them while the function key number is a tiny label that’s barely visible.

What’s the difference between making and synthesizing here?
