It’s just a slur. It doesn’t really have any great meaning. It’s kind of like calling somebody a shithead. Do they really have shit on their head, or is it really made out of shit? Probably not, but that’s not the important part of the message. The important part is the accusation, and that’s about all it means. Like the word woke, it doesn’t really mean anything, but everybody who uses it as an accusation is pretty sure what they mean by it. Everybody who would call a black person a jiggaboo (or cleverly cloak it in “peekaboo”) is the same. It has no meaning, but they all agree on what it means to them.

I remember looking at this box every time we went to the movie rental place.
Seems like they’re always looking straight out of the screen, just looking dead at you all the time. I hate it when people do that in real life.
I feel like the version we had definitely had its name printed as Birdo and not Ostro. I have always called that thing Birdo.
The author of this comic strip came to our house one time when I was little. He was visiting some family at Pickwick Lake (I think) and somehow came over to our house with some of my stepmom's friends. I absolutely couldn't believe it that somebody famous was there with us at our house. He seemed like a really nice person and he left a couple of doodles of our dogs and an autograph for me and my brother.
Orange Vanilla Mio mixed with Key Lime LaCroix is a great drink. I feel like I almost got to where I was spending as much on that as I used to spend on beer and had to cut back on it too, but I don't mind it when I do!
One thing that is really handy for development is that you can set up any container to use a proxy server. I use that a lot to reduce the sheer amount of crap that would get sent to the proxy if it were enabled at the system level or in the regular browser network settings. It really keeps the noise down.

It's so good. Once the other character shows up and you hear him talking and Grace starts making sense out of what he's saying it's like the book just lights up. That was a really nice touch.
You can, but there is no form of exporting your handwritten notes. There's also sort of a tendency to "bend" what you've just written a bit after you lift your stylus. Like it's vectorizing and slightly correcting the path you just drew.
I have had moderate success using the built-in Scribble feature to convey my handwriting into text in the main editor. It's not super great but is serviceable. It's real opinionated about when and where new paragraphs should appear.
We played a game with our Cub Scouts where they would set up a pyramid of red plastic cups in a field and then fly a drone equipped with a release mechanism to drop a ball from as high as they wanted to take it and see how accurate their aim was. Their aim was terrible and hilarious and they ended just running through the cups and throwing them at each other, but loved thinking about where to position the drone and ask about doing it again a lot.
