Using the wrong register for the material or topic. For example, using very literary language in a technical manual.... No, "peculiarities" is not an appropriate synonym for "features" or "specs".

First heard about it on r/dndmemes during the API shit storm. I stick around because it's so much nicer. Smaller, yes, but easier to curate I guess? I read about my specific interests and just vibe.

Cyborg-like implants. I want titanium joints and UV vision and magnetic field sensors and charging my phone by laying it on my belly. Uncap each finger to reveal a small tool: screwdriver, USB key, cutting blade, etc.

Note that none of that includes or requires a constant connection to a network/internet. I want to augment my interactions with the real world, not replace them with a virtual world.

I'm a public servant, so while it's easy to tell people I work for The Government, it's a lot harder to explain what I do. My job is a mish-mash of like three different roles in one of the least popular departments. When people ask, I say I work for (our version of) the DMV, and that's usually good enough.

Charmeleon! Wartortle,

Mewtwo, Tentacruel, Aerodactyl,

That's all I've got. I will shed a single tear in remembrance of happier days.

Another clue it isn't Quebec is that Quebec wouldn't bother having a separate US section when the States are just a couple hours drive away.

You're either an Aquarius or a Libra.

There are three feline modern constellations: Leo, Leo Minor, and Lynx. They're adjacent, so they're all visible around the same time.

Leo's heliacal rising from mid-northern latitudes is around early September. Alternatively, it is most easily visible in the evening in early May. So either early May or early September could be considered the "cat days"!
