Later: "Okay, my executive order is in effect. But what the hell is a lorrie?"

Sorry, I can’t retell it. Not after last time.

You know we don’t count Gary. Not after last time.

In other words, most people have an above-average number of legs.

Yeah, I’ve heard that–in fact, I made the joke largely because I expect lots of people to mentally start saying, “well actually…” before getting to the punchline.

Ooh good point. Though there’s only around 120,000 giraffes in the world, not sure what the probabilities are that any are trying to swallow a gerbil at any given time (and probably a more localized time window, given they’re less spread out).

Right! Corrected

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.”

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

step down

How about we call for his arrest and trial?

Still a showerthought

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.
