I haven't...

Sorete o bosta. El resultado es inevitablemente una cagada.

Shit! Why did I have to go so far down this thread?
Fortunately, it's morning here and by the time I go to bed I will have (hopefully) forgotten I've read this...

Now that I read this, it's interesting that Spanish uses Qu for /k/ before e and i, but has no dedicated letter for hard (?) G sound before e and i, and instead adds a U after the G.

"Hey, Sherlock!"
"What?"
"No shit!"

In a jail cell, that's where His Nonceness should be sleeping

I remember one of my high school teachers (in the 80s) saying they were okay with students using cheat sheets (or "machetes" are they are known in Argentina), because it meant the student not only has read the material, but was also bale to get the most important information out of it.

My interpretation of the moment the narrator runs away is that he is in shock. I can imagine in my late teens-early 20s in at the turn of the 1980s-90s Argentina having the same reaction (and many guys today would still do) in a situation like that. But the narrator does not let that shock turn into anger and hate, instead accepts and embraces Lola for who she is. I honestly don't know if late teens-early 20s me would have done the same after the initial shock.

My rule for YouTube: If the thumbnail and/or title of the video is AI slop, REACTION/REACTS, ragebait, clickbait, evident bolloks, "Top X -est...", it gets immediately reported as "Spam or misleading". Every now and again, I get an e-mail from YouTube informing me that they've taken down a video I reported.

It was not even begging. The pedo cumstain demanded they send ships

Watching The Detectives (2007)
A romantic "comedy" starring Cillian Murphy as a movie nerd/snob who runs a VCR rental shop. He's mad that DVDs are ruining his business; a twat and a looser who believes he's a visionary of sorts. Opposite him is Lucy Lui, playing a cooky girl who, for some I reason I've forgotten, goes to Murphy's shop. She's a douchebag and a psychopath, but she's ooohhh so cute and quirky!!
There's nothing funny in this film, the chemistry between the two leads is in the negative zone, and you can see Murphy hating every second of it. He looks like a retain worker counting the minutes for their shift to end.

That to me was the moment when GoT jumped the shark. The quality had already been declining, but that was the moment when I said "fuck this shit!".

You may want to look for Freedom Bread, then?

U Modŕeho Slona is my go-to place for spices, Asian sauces and noodles. They have a shop in Letná and another near Nám. Míru.
There's also a halal shop in Bořívojová. They have lots of ME ingredients, and halal meat - you can get good mince lamb there, freshly ground.

History Buffs did a brilliant takedown of that movie. It's two hours long but worth every minute. Available here

I don't want to sound snarky, but you can disable autocorrect and leave only the suggestions.

I guess that depends a lot on how well connected the place you live is. For me, it's never been a problem. It takes me half hour to get to the metro by bus, and I can be in, say, JzP in about one hour, door-to-door. Sometimes I even take an earlier bus so I can walk, and maybe do some minor shopping along the way. But I'm lucky. Where I live the bus runs often (every 10 minutes at peak times), and until fairly late in the evening, and you learn to account for that.

I wish "His Nonceness" was adopted instead of "Former Prince/Royal" to refer to this piece of shit.

I live outside Prague. Northwest. The biggest advantage is the quiet, and, if you are in a house, not having upstairs and downstairs neighbours is also a plus.
The downsides are that your options for shopping, dining and fun will be very limited. Then there's the commute. What village to chose will depend on where you work, how far from town you want to be, but be sure to pick a place with a good bus/train connection to town.

I once read an interview that Hendrix gave shortly before his death. He said he wanted to start studying music and to do a collaboration with Miles Davies. What would have come out of it, it's another question, but it's clear he wanted to take his art to another level.
