There's no rack mount server there. I see a UPS, switch (network and Nintendo varieties), PS4 and mini PC

Sure, I guess, in the same way that all the water in your body was once dinosaur piss

Contract killers don't really exist, and even if they did, it's obviously not covered by the legal system, so, you do.

I'm... Not really sure what your question is. What do you mean by your laptop "fitting in the community?"

It happens pretty frequently in tech job listings, to have a requirement listed for more years experience in some technology than that technology has existed

? You're saying exactly the same thing I am. I was giving a definition, not an example. Admittedly confusing since I used the (real) word in its own (slang) definition.

No, "aesthetic" is generally just a noun, historically. As in "it has a modern/minimalist/cyberpunk aesthetic." Its usage as an adjective just means "relating to the general idea of aesthetics as a field of study," or "someone with a strong sense of and attunement to the design and beauty of things." Using it to just mean "beautiful," basically, is a new usage in just the last 5 years or less.

Using it as an adjective, to mean "has a pleasing aesthetic."

I mean... Babies and small children don't "choose" what language to learn, they just pick up whatever's spoken regularly around them. So whatever their families and community speak, same as everyone else?

Yeah, which nobody would "expect" you to if you're not from there

Where are you getting this impression? I've never gotten any sense that anyone outside the city is "expected" to know its geography. "Expected" how?

Also there are only 5 boroughs

Any concept this was ever a thing will be buried beneath the sands of time within your lifetime. You, too, will forget it completely. Nobody will ever think it peculiar because nobody will ever think of it at all.

it's also not that weird
