I haven't seen the movie, but Chihuahua is also a region in Mexico, maybe it takes place between these two places?

Snake. There are many good versions of it, but I'd say my favourite is the one from coolmathgames.com .

Mint is a pretty sturdy plant, it can grow in a variety of climates and even get a bit invasive at times. Among the domesticated plants, it might be one of those with the best chance to still strive after humans disappear.

I'd misread the summary and for a minute I thought Trump had killed her dog and she called him out in her book.

I feel with enough people working together, something could be done. I don't mean to threaten anyone, so let's just say the target is a Fictional Evil Technologically Advanced Billionaire, or FETAB ; and definitely not any real person. The strategy I have in mind would involve digging trenches outside his property and literally smoking him out by burning a huge pile of tires upwing.

The biggest problem would be getting shot by drones while digging or while setting up the pile of tires (if it's done during the purge) or being attacked by police if it's done beforehand. I think secret underground tunnels should start being dug in secret before the purge, so they can collapse into trenches when needed. Then, the trenches keep FETAB from escaping by land in his FETAB-mobile, and the smoke makes a helicopter or private jet difficult to get of ground.

Drones or makeshift aircrafts with makeshift incendiary bombs can be sent to the house under the cover of the smoke. Even assuming he is in an underground bunker, this much smoke would put it's air filtration systems under significant stresses and also cause big material losses. In the end, he still have chances of making it out alive, his death would come either from suffocation in his bunker (if hos filters are saturated by soot and he doesn't have enough bottled oxygen) or, more likely, him trying to escape and having an accident (made more likely by the smoke and trenches).

Does he attac tho? Whom? How? Does he have widdle weapons for assolt ?

Maybe to avoid confusing it with the country.

Yep, except that in fundamental science, proving that things are more complex than previously thought can be an exciting outcome!

 

TL:DR : I just want xterm to not do anything special when I start typing ctrl+shift+u so I can write special character, so I must remove the ctrl+u default keybind.

I'm using xterm on a laptop (no discrete gpu and pretty bad integrated graphics, so gpu-accelerated ones like kitty are counterproductive, and I use i3 so an xorg based one sounds better). I also like using vim.

I'm also using a qwerty keyboard, but sometimes write in French and need accents. I've memorized the codes for those I often need, like ctrl+maj+u+e+9 for é, but it doesn't work in xterm because it executes the ctrl+u keybind (delete previous characters and then types "(" (because it's maj+9).

So, following online guides, I've created a .Xresource file with the following code:

XTerm.VT100.translations: #override \n\
   Ctrl <Key>U: none

And I also added the line

exec xrdb ~/.Xresources

But to no avail, even when restarting the x session or manualy running xrdb ~/.Xresources.

What am I doing wrong?

For context, the post I'm referring to is a map of Africa with subsaharia Africa in deep green, Sudan in light green and north Africa was white or some other color. The poster was claiming nothing had ever been invented in the green zone. My comment was gonna be this:

Antiseptics before Europeans.

Iron Smelting Not the first to discover it, but recent evidence show it was invented independently.

Sudano-Sahelian Architecture

Some modern Archtecture taking inspiration from Sudano-Sahelian features such as a roof shape favoring natural ventilation. And since I just transitioned to recent inventions, there's the Cardio Pad, invented in Cameroon, to help diagnose cardiovascular disease.

I know we now know they went extinct 66 million years ago, and 64 millions is another date I've seen around, but how long how we known it was definitely way more than 40 millions ? I'm asking because it's the date given in the the song "walk the dinosaurs" by Was (Not Was), and I wondered why such a number. Would it have seed credible at the time, or was it just arbitrary?
