In the deluge of increasingly rapid changes in this world, there is much frivolity.

What does Qatar want to do?

Its aspirational Al Jazeera is a marvelous news medium.

In my mind, Latin America has got a festive flair associated with it.

There are Linux enthusiasts. There are web design enthusiasts.

And there even are self-styled "life enthusiasts."

Well, we as individuals have to withstand the market economy.

A blizzard of abnormally warmer days might be awaiting Montreal this winter.

I could never get how Mr. Stephen Harper, the previous PM of Canada, could say that there was no climate change.

Financial Times is a lucid news medium, as well as Nikkei BP. Last year the latter bought the former.

All in all, the number of superb major news media companies is one less than before in the world.

Let's get down to brass tacks. Why did the cheap yet shoddy products become so prevalent in Canada in the first place?

As a people, Chinese needs to ameliorate its negative legacies, as well as to cherish its positive heritage.

Many Chinese bean curds have pungent smells.

But they are tasty in the mouth, as well as nutritious for the body.

So if they were expunged from the diet, that would be a poignant loss.

Somewhat like the case with many kinds of cheese.

"Demain C'est Toi".

François Feldman, un "Magic Boul'vard". Salut.

Les jupes en été.

Une déception.

The relatively nascent webrooming actually helps Walmart and alike and hurts Amazon and alike, essentially.

It's the opposite of showrooming.

There were too many things and some were over B.'s head. So he was too busy to come.

Yesterday's snow flurry made the sight a little blurry.

Many things carry tacitly.

It's said that Mr. Donald Trump voiced a lot of bombast.

You see so many young guys recline into their seats day in and day out.

Probably those think that's swag. But then you wonder what will happen to their backs.

Un hot dog.

Un nom, deux prononciations, en le français et en le anglais.

"Je pense donc je suis."

Couler à pic.

La algae pour mon riz.

To breach a wall, you need a tool, a means.

The two ornate words 'quietude' and 'quietus' are very closely related.

These years, I always feel comfortably fervent towards the terminal emulator application.

Even today in Montreal, I still heard a chirpy bird on a tree while I was walking.

Now it's December, not April or something.

By contrast, Vancouver is currently enduring snow storms.

The weather is really not as usual.

Well, some YouTube vids have to be spurned.

The government stands to adjudicate disputes, as well as to align interests, and to harmonize the society, to some lesser degree.

Les lettres 'v' et 'w' dans le vocabulaire.

Quitter ma maison du matin.

Le service de garde dans le école.

Public speakers coax and harangue people.

I increasingly buy less of what they say, whereas I increasingly buy more of reasoning and thinking for myself.

Our severe problem of information overload is exacerbated by the recommendation engines on YouTube and so on.

The Western marriage vow used to be "Till death do we part."

Now it turns out to be a hoax.

Hoaxers galore.

Linux aficionados are ubiquitous.

And I reckon that the prominent tornado of Ubuntu has landed ever more users onto the desktop platform of Linux.

It's tiring to watch all the moves of American trendsetters in tech.

Most people want to earn as much money as reasonably possible day in and day out.

Ergo, you have the typical nine to five schedule of a so-called full-time job.

Unfortunately, many Chinese online news media are outrageously flippant and inferior with regard to journalism.

Was United States a magnanimous country?

Is it one now?

Mon entrée: la poutine.

Un car scolaire à la Rue Guy?

Non.

Tout le vocabulaire de le français.

La rage.

Et le zeste.

Should the inveterate Department of Science reform in universities?

Yes, their course offerings are fundamental, but should they occupy so much partitions of students' precious undergraduate study time?

Things like pro wrestling and MMA entertain people day in and day out.

Chinese martial arts is a counterculture nowadays, worldwide.

In this world which is largely ruled by Java and Javascript, Python is my foible.

Like the Bash interpreter, the Python one is too neat for me to resist.

Every parent coaxes and commands his or her child.

There's no democracy here. The household is different than the political system.

To be frank with you, I'm fond of Linux way more than of Windows.

But, to be franker, I've already expended several years on learning about it, including the Bash, and it's no easy feat for people who just need a computer on which they can browse the web as well as consume multimedia.

The schisms on the levels of desktop environment and distro used to confuse the hell out of me.

Now the dust settles. And I stick to Linux Mint with Cinnamon. KDE is just not my cup of tea. Neither is openSUSE.

I can find many extenuating circumstances every week. :-)

Ubiquitous is the inveterate slackness of myriad young people.

Can you be sure that everything in Android is on the up-and-up?

Whereas we can be sure about that in Linux and Windows.

I owe the education system of China a debt of gratitude, nevertheless.

It's noteworthy that the dropout rate of high school students is bleakly high in Quebec.

One third or so.

It appears that many people suppose Donald Trump's election to presidency will be an ominous one for both the U.S. and the world.

Mrs. Hillary Clinton has had her revealing imbroglios.

Who on earth can trust her?

Barely 21 years had passed since the end of WWI, and then WWII started.

So the Armistice Day hadn't have much use to pacify peoples and countries. Or, people just remembered the dead, but they forgot the cruelty of war inflicted on the whole world.

I. X. messed up real good.

Leçon Un. À la page six.

The GUI is just an appendage of the OS, not the OS itself.

The problem is, people tend to be addicted to some particular GUI, for better or for worse. That is the GUI of macOS, my friend.

Every real man stays mostly unflappable while being tested by life.

And he may discover that everything is meaningless.

I've been a zealous English learner for over ten years till now.

Certainly Google nearly always plots against its downstream businesses, up to now.

Take a look at how smartphone manufacturers fare in the Android camp.

Chinese companies possess staggering scales, but their products tend to be made in ways that are not assiduous enough.

Sigh. Trouble after trouble to be dealt with.

C'est une large niche pour le chien là-bas.

As a matter of fact, the fastidious and persnickety gender are apt to be myopic at the really important issues in this world.

Contemporary with the consuming and destructive feminism, many institutions of the human race have been reduced to the edge of failure.

It appears that more and more flicks are challenging the bottom line of the squeamish.

The commonplace underestimation of Facebook's technological prowess is an exemplar of layman ignorance among people.

Nepotism seems to be rampant throughout China's history.

Sigh.

Nowadays Chinese producers invent a lot of useful gadgets and gizmos.

Stresses and strains are inevitable in life.

Une chic gare.

Un chien bien en chair.

Well, Samsung's impetuous upper management has made a severe mistake in the ongoing infamous account of Galaxy Note 7.

Too fast, too soon.

Well, the preceding sentence is also applicable to overly explicit female K-pop singers/dancers.

The prodigious Linux operating system nearly always makes me feel empowered.

For that matter, the Cinnamon desktop environment is a handy one.

On the other hand, it's hard for me to stand some Apple fanboys who still lampoon the Windows operating system along the outdated line of "I'm a Mac (vs.) I'm a PC".

The French are said to be grumpy.

The sad thing is, to survive on this earth, we as individuals have to acquiesce in the contemporary American style capitalism.

I've been sticking to my guns these years.

Wall-to-wall news coverage on TV is a boon at eateries, I consider.

At my beck and call.

Les quais à le fleuve Saint-Laurent.

"Fast! Fast! Time is money. Don't waste money." The man exhorted his low-wage farming workers.

That's an interesting scene in the old American movie La Bamba.

Many Americans and Canadians, who are under 50, are seekers of understated glitz, it appears.

Nowadays I mostly take news pieces from assiduous and accurate media.

Unfortunately, Taiwanese media don't meet that criterion.

Compared to that of Japanese cities, the streets' layout in Montreal generally doesn't look very picturesque, eh?

Sooner or later, your capacity to trust people will be done a number on, in this capitalist world which is increasingly governed by as well as which promotes self-interest and monetary gain.

Camaraderie exists between men, especially after they learned the nature of women.

Un Zoulou, avec sa histoire.

Personally I feel less languor in Canada than in China.

When dealing with machines and devices, what's up to date may be the best.

But when dealing with human beings, that may be not the case.

I want to replenish my inventory of traditional Chinese culture.

"Boom!"

"Eek!"

IT security failures are encroching upon our time and life.

So many corporations' management is incompetent on that front.

No commiseration should be given to the failed financial institutions.

Just a bunch of money-grabbers who hijacked the whole economy by the monopoly over monetary liquidity.

Provable work skills, instead of faddish nanodegrees, are what matter the most in the job market.

The self tuition of a typical technology worker is so mammoth in terms of the amount of time invested.

Windows laptop PCs are my normcore statement to stand against Macbooks. :-)

But then, of course, I run efficient Linux distros, instead of the stock Windows operating system, on the commodity hardware.

For their own best interests, the people across the globe shouldn't follow the American hedonism so much.

What can that way of life bring?

See what the real life in the United States is like. Far from happiness, I'd say.

You want to diversify into different operating systems.

Among the myriad available options, the stable but walled garden of macOS is one, and Linux Mint is another.

I don't know why the reports about Google's technologies take precedence over those about other companies', say, Amazon's.

Well, for the time being, Google has more money at their disposal.

But the real question is, is Google a stable supplier?

In this world, more and more things have gradually become to strain our credulity.

For instance, the Western marriage vow.

It seems nowadays, relationships that are amicable are impossible.

Either willingly or unwittingly, we've been catapulted into digital economy.

When will the Canadian doctors and lawyers be so, too?

Devine, mes amis.

Does city life catalyze creativity more than suburban life does?

I guess so.

The Linux world is full of easter eggs and hidden treasures for software development.

And, Windows' desktop environments are flamboyant and verbose, whereas Linux's ones are understated and terse.

Unfortunately, many lawyers posture.

How many jobs can the flourishing ARM Holdings create for the U.K.?

I haven't been able to stop searching for a comprehensive, as well as exact, description of ISO image. But now I capitulate.

I dislike the verbosity of Java.

The syntactic baggage the programming language carries has caused my mind and my typing fingers to have emotional baggage. :-)

I wanna do away with coding Java bon mots.

Men are not meant to be amiable.

Are women meant to?

It appears that France seldom vacillates in striking back at terrorists in Middle East and Africa.

Bombs have been scintillating across the skies of those areas. Sigh.

Eventually, karma dictates that what goes around comes around.

Be your own man.

Do your own thing.

Répéter, mon ami.

Assez, ma ami.

Many Chinese immigrants who are software people haven't fully comprehended that the English language proficiency is crucial for their careers, it seems.

Well, thanks to the fact that modern universities only care about publishing academic papers, unversities have largely been reduced to a demiworld of expensive paper mills.

A reform must be carried out, for the sake of young students, as well as their parents.

Mr. President Obama did a mic drop recently. Among the presidents, he's a cool one.

It seems that some Western policies are sanctimonious.

It's undeniable that desktop Ubuntu had been a trailblazer which had contributed enormously to Linux distros' usability.

It is pivotal to be proficient at Linux.

Mrs. Hillary Clinton infamously lacks candor.

Can the world entrust the most powerful country on the earth to a sly and ailing woman?

It seems that women, even Charlize Theron, desire hypergamy in their psyche, whether or not they admit it.

It must be their inescapable nature.

Bonsoir, mes amis.

Comment ça va, mon français? Ça va bien.

Ratifying one's employment contract means that the working hours are totally owned by the employer.

The commonplace diet in Montreal is surely helping people hurtle towards early aging.

I for one increasingly don't understand why many people are covetous of living in the United States.

All in all, what's better about living there? The cuisine? The culture? The gun control? The break down of the institution of family?

Linux Mint, a Linux desktop distro done right.

The rigmarole of the U.S. presidential election campaign has been cut short by Hillary Clinton's aging ailment.

And, I wonder why the Democratic Party didn't have in place the due diligence of some sort of prescreening of their potential candidate's health conditions. Why?

Didactic and passive university lectures cannot get you very far in the professional working world.

It's sick that both the male and female genders go off on each other.

There's no lack of wars throughout the human history. Now it's the gender war.

Even many unwitting people are involved as tools of the brainwashing feminism.

It's been reputed that more and more women in their thirties have hit the wall, if you like, in their dating/mating.

Over the hill, be done for. That's the typical reality.

Comment ça va?

Très bien.

Unkempt front yards reveal that having a home yard can be too much to bear in terms of the cost of time, as well as money.

Diatribes from diehard feminists are almost all over the mass media. Blah blah blah...

More and more men have awakened from being manipulated pussycats.

Ah, the terse Linux man pages.

Sometime you wonder if they were written by intentional spoilsports.

The Lord Inquisitor appears to be a good short animation movie.

Ah, all those news platitudes which permeate the North American news media. TL;DR.

I for one refuse to get my time wasted by them.

C'est toi là-bas? Salut.

Bien, merci. Et toi?

People seem to like striped awnings a lot.

I took a shine to the GNOME Terminal years ago. But now I mostly use the Xfce Terminal.

I like seeing retail cashiers who with a fastidious way fold or organize my newly bought stuff into my carrying bags.

In textbooks, this often appears: 'Be sure you can define the following terms: ...'

Hong Kong films have been very luminous.

做得嘢。有料到。

Babbling away in Cantonese... :-)

The egocentric American women have been losing plenty of ground during the past 100 or so years.

Sigh.

In Montreal, a battery of restaurants and food counters try to feed people lackluster sandwiches, hamburgers, fries, as well as fattening pop drinks.

What's the taste of them? Plain. Sigh.

And the prices people paid for those bland foods? The disaster of the ever increasing obesity.

Will I find scintillating spots in the English lyrics of Filipino pop songs?

C'est chaud. Je vais à la piscine.

Shunning Facebook and alike has been providing me a little respite from the modern insanity of information overload.

The instant and smooth fall and evasion of the big spider was a clear manifestation of its agility and experience.

Just one or two years ago, people were agog over Apple's hefty profits and rosy prospect.

Now the company's future seems bleaker, by contrast.

All those girls in resplendent dresses, why have there been less and less men looking at you?

If you ask men, mostly they would answer one word, "feminism."

Viva, vivacious girls.

Bravo, profound men.

The ongoing gender war is an obdurate one.

And many individuals have paid or will pay hefty prices during it.

Are the inevitable major culprits the modern suffrage and the whole shebang of modern democracy?

Also see http://www.boston-catholic-journal.com/gender-wars-the-loss-of-our-humanity.htm .

Black hair is sleeker.

Le nom 'Jacques' en le français...

It will become increasingly elusive for Apple Inc. to maintain its own ongoing paramount prominence in the market, I'm afraid.

What major and tangible innovative success, which should be on the magnitude to sustain their historic legend, has come out from their door during the past 5 years?

The free market is apt to send a frisson of fear to employees, as well as companies, from time to time.

If you ride carousel for long, young pretty gals, your very own promiscuity is going to catch up with you.

Metrosexual men are everywhere.

I always have niggling doubts about Android's future.

Not the present, I mean the future.

I'm apt to lean towards the upcoming Ubuntu Touch.

In bringing J up, his parents were taciturn.

A cajoling voice doesn't mean that the person is nice to the core.

The typical American way of life seems to be unceremonious.

Which way of life wouldn't seem so if people are crazy busy?

In summer, Southern China swelters more than Canada. Much more.

But in winter, it freezes less than the latter. Way less.

The idea of living in a ruburb doesn't appeal to me.

Uber is much more than merely a sharewashing company.

It seems that Taiwanese companies are not very responsive to innovations yet.

Individual freedom facilitates economic growth.

The so-called 'invisible hand' of market can be haphazard oftentimes.

You rely on it at risk to yourself.

Muggy summer days...

Android is sort of transmogrified Linux.

Blabbing to the gossip press about celebrities' private life's tidbits seems to be a huge business.

Yo, man, bring out your swag.

Counselors are in charge of children at summer camps.

They offer counsel, but not council.

Ugaritic is an ancient Semitic language of the primeval Ugarit.

And it's closely related to Hebrew.

It feels extraordinary to see a figure like Donald Trump vie for the presidency of the United States of America.

The female populace at large in North America seem to be a confused and brainwashed one.

People used to blab either to the police or to the journalists, or to both.

Then WikiLeaks emerged as a disruptor.

Korean laver appears to be very popular now.

La valise de Luc.

The gradual breakdown of patriarchy in Western countries has brought on the phenomenon that more and more men are committed to the avoidance of heterosexual marriage.

Is it harmful to the upbringing of generations of children to come? You bet. More or less, it's like that mothers are life givers but fathers are lifeguards.

Probably we'll see more and more real life accounts of that in the media, down the road.

It's not coincidental that after the ICAC had been established, Hong Kong's economy soared.

The once popular violinist Vanessa-Mae's new album has been long overdue, hasn't it?

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanessa-Mae#Musical_career , as well as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanessa-Mae_discography .

We're familiar with the summer beeeeeeeeeer haze, aren't we?

Universal (male) suffrage has only become reality for around two centuries.

"Where have all the good men gone?"

"Where have all the good women gone?"

Let both genders apportion the sin of the breakdown of the institutions of marriage and family.

La liaison.

Merci pour la valise et la chemise.

'Strategic' is a fancy word, isn't it?

CPUs and GPUs are powerful factitious beings.

Hence Intel and Nvidia are giants.

A chilled bottle of the effervescent Perrier Water is one of my summer favorites.

I was at a coffee house yesterday.

A slender but pugnacious woman at a table close by, who was talking to an old man, disturbed me greatly with her especially noisy outbursting conversation.

Actually many traditional institutions in human societies are elaborate designs.

If people carelessly defy those, they do it at their own peril, and at risk to themselves.

Technology has always been a double-edged sword.

For one thing, cars have made people even more obese.

Now, mechanical doping is destroying the professional sport of cycling. See the YouTube video below:

It seems that more and more young men in Canada are raised to be somewhat sheepish.

And, combine that with being very much faddish, well, likely you'll get an LGBT.

However it gets beautified, 'rainbow' or else, it is concerning.

The Brexit referendum has done much to shape Europe.

The world is too complex. And crises are regular, not sporadic.

Desktop Linux is still entwined with Microsoft Windows.

When will the PC industry directly support Linux?

People use the term 'FinTech' to conceptualize and define the whole new breed of financial services with innovative technologies.

Many Canadians overindulge in sweet foods and beverages, a smidgen of which should only be taken instead, day in and day out.

And that's one of the main reasons why Canadian cities are overflown with outrageous potbellies. Yuck.

If people want to fight obesity, they should fight those soda drinks companies in the first place. Free markets fail at externalities. Pop drinks corporations overload the health care systems in many nations with obese people.

Many women have turned into implicit handful.

And they think they have their rights, which potentially greatly undermine the institution of family.

L'été, à vive allure.

Every beer-bellied man knows to dislike potbellies on women.

Polonius, a figure in the Shakespearean drama Hamlet, is greatly pleonastic.

Although having had a very auspicious start, Android are still plagued by many drawbacks.

Let's watch how Ubuntu Touch will go.

International food potluck lunches are grassroot fushion cuisine.

The convoluted computer networking and cryptography interweave with each other, and yield very complicated domains of technology.

Rain sprinkled in these two soggy summer days.

Hillary Clinton is alleged to be a "habitual prevaricator".

I took a swipe at the rampaging fly with an empty facial tissues box.

And the reckless insect took the hit and snorted, which had been persisting trying to rob some of my foods in front of me and leave its bacteria in the rest of them.

The summer solstice corresponds to "夏至" in Chinese.

And the winter solstice does to "冬至" in it.

No money for vacation, and no time for staycation.

No money for upscale dining out, and no time for my own cooking.

Many small-town seniors in China are technophobes, as well as xenophobes, I reckon.

Under the guise of being "open-source" and being developed by Google Inc., Android has got its very own security vulnerabilities, as well as vendor lock-in (i.e. Google lock-in).

'Water meadow' corresponds to '皋' in the Chinese language.

Then, after viewing this pic at http://www.123rf.com/photo_14072061_cows-in-water-meadow.html , now you know what the name of the famous historic general '牛皋' means, don't you?

Well, do you really believe that the Ubuntu/Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth's “benevolent dictator”ship is reliably trustworthy?

Pop songs bring very effective influences, supposedly both consciously and subliminally, upon people.

So be careful with what you listen to.

The so-called job security is sheerly wishful thinking, in the face of erratic and unreliable employers and market segments.

The China Town in Montreal is not quite cultivated, in general. You can sense it after you're offered services in shops over there.

Will it be enhanced?

I normally swipe right to J-pop, but swipe left to K-pop.

The criss-crossing alleys in Southern Chinese towns...

And the criss-crossing lanes in their respective countryside...

When will those major PC peripherals companies optimize their hardware drivers and software applications for the Linux platform, or at least provide them?

That's the factor which drags down my full allegiance to desktop Linux distributions the most.

I've been continuing indulging my passion for Linux.

What a platform.

In the world of desktop Linux, there's too many hearsay.

And among all Linux distros, there's too much fragmentation. Is a consolidation of some degree heresy?

In a market economy, the buyers and the sellers reason with each other.

Sigh, the once budding Firefox OS smartphone just rolled over.

The phrase 'internet intel' feels a bit tongue-in-cheek, doesn't it?

Physical and ethnic communities have become much less close-knit.

In Canada, the pervasive requirement of punctuality, one of the pinnacles of the modern lifestyle, can be very subliminally frustrating.

Sleep apnea seems to be an area that medical people are profiting on.

A top-of-the-line PC, not a "top-line" PC. Come on.

From the perspective of many overseas Chinese, China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are all areas governed by Chinese descendants. Aren't they?

It's the time in the year to gaze into the summer star sky.

It's also the time in the year to indulge myself a little with cool beer and Perrier water.

Salut, le français.

A tout à l'heure.

Maybe in the future genuine leather will largely become a faux pas, and faux leather will be the chic way.

For one thing, I like my faux leather coasters.

Some construction guys are husky hunks with beer bellies, apparently.

I'd like to see a movie description of the depthless individuals of the Western countries.

In the face of omnipresent and rising obesity among nearly all age groups, should Canada consider to realign its urban planning in order to facilicate more physically active lifestyles for individuals?

It's not fit at all to sit in vehicles, and then in chairs, day in and day out.

The proverbial "corporate ladder" has been toppling over in many companies.

It's reputed that many Chinese officials' family members absconded with funds and flew to live in the U.S. and Canada.

Obviously, they've been steadily undermining the "harmonious society" of China. Should they be "harmonized?"

What's the ethos of market economy?

Making money.

It's overly prevailing, I think. Its externalities must be carefully re-examined.

It seems that it's not wise at all for ANY individual woman to forsake her potential or current family life and motherhood for her career/life ambitions.

Otherwise, definitively she will regret. The writing is on the wall.

A bill of sale is the proof that the item of goods or services has been made over to the buyer by the seller.

I have never pored over an in-depth treatment of the delicate subject matter of Cryptography, yet(?).

The undergraduate curriculum of the Computer Science department must be looking curious in the eyes of some industry practitioners.

Almost no time to kick back.

Occasionally when I didn't feel like a regular supper or were super tired, I watered down two pieces of naan with tea.

It's my own brinner thing.

The so-called Brexit makes me wonder what defines a sovereignty and what its boundaries are.

Toy boys. And tomboys.

This world is in a mayhem.

Can tourism make a town or country affluent?

Probably not.

I for one don't want to see hair sprout from women's upper and lower lips.

Some old white women have their own natural moustache.

And some younger ones carry their arm fuzz. Well. Still...

At the whim of fashion, many girls now loyally wear jeans with large holes.

Oh my, a little fashionability has been instilled into me.

Women are very eager to be sophisticatedly fashionable, all in all.

Recalcitrant kids.

Troubles ahead.

Cut out the middleman, the arbitragers.

Linux is the de facto definitive operating system.

However, Microsoft Windows was the champ, at least in the consumer space. It's a fact.

It seems that studying musicology typically does not help pop singers at all.

Maybe I've gotten a wrong impression, though.

The Clintons family, or dynasty, if you like, has got great leverage on the American stage.

Is it a healthy thing?

Since I came to Canada, whenever I watched TV news or read web news, I got inundated with the new development of disasters and crises across the world.

Why should individuals know every single disaster and crisis in every corner of the globe, and in such detail?

More and more job positions of editors, such as lexicographers, have been and will be ousted by the tide of our time.

But I, as an English language learner, am grateful for the lexicographers' fruitful labor over decades.

'Bill of sale' and 'bill of lading' used to be a little confusing to me.

'Estate sale', as well as 'garage sale', were much clearer.

It seems that in Montreal, many young primary school students dress like unsuitably aged fashionistas.

Evernote's web client failed briefly just a moment ago.

Users will pick up on it and pay attention to the feasibility of Evernote's competitors' services, if that kind of downtime happens often.

Flat vada snacks taste quite good.

'Shah' is a powerful surname.

The well-being of employers, such as private companies, is oftentimes obfuscated to employees.

I know 'blurb' and 'executive summary'.

But what's the word for their counterparts on websites? Web page blurbs, article blurbs, and news blurbs?

It seems that many, if not most, packaged foods and beverages companies in the U.S. and Canada have not been safeguarding their customers' health, especially against obesity.

For that matter, it is obvious that their consumers do not want obesity encroaching on their very own bodies because of the consumption.

Google, in its infinite wisdom, closed down the service of its very popular Google Reader.

That act, planted a seed of distrust in my mind.

I don't know anything about the current DDR4 DRAM thingummy.

A free market economy is advantageous for resource allocation.

But what about human costs?

The torrent of social media brought a deluge of additional information overload.

Please just give me a break.

Desktop Linux virtuosos are everywhere.

'Koala bear' originated in Australia.

However, 'kangaroo court' did in the United States.

Greenwillow Books is an imprint of the HarperCollins publishing company.

Ah. The ambience of subtropical drenching rain.

Maybe we'll eventually see the bit rot of DVDs because of the apparently increasing disappearance of optical drives in new laptop computers.

Sigh. Dangerously, beer is a refreshing sort of drink in summertime.

'Yellow and blue can make chartreuse and green and aquamarine.'

'Red and blue can make magenta and purple and violet.'

'But yellow and red can make marigold and orange and vermilion.'

Standing behind the high glass window, I enjoyed gazing the precipitation dotting into a cavity in the parking lot.

That's yesterday, though.

Appreciate the early vernal April.

What's beneath the emergence of the budding phenomenon of crowdbirthing?

A hyper level of competition infiltrated into every single aspect of the modern life?

Xfce is a speedster, compared with other major Linux desktop environments.

In the wake of the great decline of Blackberry Limited (formerly known as RIM), will the Waterloo, Ontario area be able to regenerate itself?

It's another major blow to the Canadian tech industry following the one of Nortel.

Linguine tastes better than spaghetti.

Personally I have lost much of my faith in the intelligentsia in the West.

On its up side, urbanization faciliates the enjoyment of cultural amenities for more people than before.

Apple's current dominance is still inconclusive, I feel.

Nowadays, some consumers are apt to find less and less reasons to justify craving and scrambling for a brand new iPad or MacBook something. As for iPhones, as well as Siri, let's just keep tabs on them for now.

On the other hand, the nascent Windows 10 with the Cortana voice assistant seems increasingly interesting.

Sometimes it's not good that people just blurt out slangs.

In this time and era, more and more people are losing their moral fiber, it seems.

There's a title 'Mrs.' There's a title 'Miss.'

And, there's a mythical title 'Ms.' in between.

Interestingly, the nascent Trudeau government claimed that they've unmuzzled Canadian scientists.

In a supposedly free society, which Canada claims itself to be, how could scientists get muzzled in the first place?

The burgeoning Vivaldi web browser looks stunning.

I think that I for one am apt to sincerely flatter myself.

Apple Inc. has been sitting pretty for very long time, hasn't it?

This week, I'm wondering how many customers will end up being annoyed by the nascent iPhone SE's small 4-inch screen eventually.

Is it an oxymoron?

People, all kinds of people, try to build and maintain their nest eggs by way of the fleeting and highly volatile stock market.

There appears to be very little wiggle room available for Hong Kong people's personal space.

It's unbelievable that crinolines only became popular in the Western world since the mid-19th century.

Interestingly, naan and roti are both South Asian breads.

They are my daily bread nowadays, especially the former.

Many Canadians' gargantuan bellies seem normal, because we see them everyday, everywhere.

But, they are actually very ABNORMAL, in terms of human health, I think.

Little children are radiant with their innocent ways.

Well, Mac is a PC (aka personal computer), although Apple Inc. the storyteller would like people to think otherwise.

Gastronomically, Canada is not a good place.

TL;DR is what I think of most articles and posts on traditional news media's websites nowadays.

Oh man, those journalists may be wasting our time.

When dealing with desktop Linux, there are no more butterflies in my stomach.

Well, St Patrick's Day is a Christian festival day for Irish people.

Nonetheless, the holiday's tradition of alcohol consumption, or guzzling, seems to have become stronger over recent times.

Don't be the tail that wags the dog. Stay out of harm's way.

Peace and solitude is much harder to come by in China than in Canada, I suppose.

Personally I like the sprightliness of vegetable dishes in Chinese cuisine.

Lame startup founders are worse than armchair ones.

However, shoddy startup products are better than vicarious ones.

There are multiple bud leaves on the potted plant.

I used to hear a lot of traffic hullabaloo in China.

But not in Canada.

Now, sadly, I cannot shake off the stereotype, which I have formed over the years, that Canadian grocery chain stores mostly provide fattening foods and drinks.

And, more sadly, way too many Canadians devour the former and guzzle the latter.

It's a monumental tragedy in the making.

Many open-source software applications are not tried and true.

It seems that the increasingly expensive university education is not sustainable fiscally, as well as in terms of the mammoth amount of precious time that students have to spend on it.

Maybe a naturally retentive memory is a myth.

Maybe deep understanding is what's really behind the scene.

There are vicarious eaters who like reading foodies' columns.

And there is even vicarious menstruation.

Well, 'vicarious' is an intriguing word in English.

Well, animatronics such the "My Real Baby" made by iRobot would feel creepy, at least a little bit, I imagine.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRobot .

IMHO, mainstream Canadian beers don't hold a candle to their Japanese counterparts.

Personally I take special care of my main desktop environments and operating systems.

Between KDE Plasma and GNOME, I just feel kind of impartial right now.

The makeover which was brought by KDE Plasma 5 has been such an eye candy which wows me. But it just dismisses many of my old keyboard shortcuts habits which I've carried from Microsoft Windows and the Cinnamon desktop environment.

The curtain was kept billowing in the snow breeze by the open door.

I tried keying on an antique Smith Corona typewriter yesterday.

It's a nice inputting experience.

My toddler daughter has got some teeny weeny natural rat-tail hair.

In fundamental Cryptography such as the basic parts of GnuPG, decrypting seems to be the most trivial part.

Rudolf Steiner stressed that children should just frolic without being restrained to actual academic study, if you like, during their first six years after birth.

It appears that people are installing the seminal Ubuntu operating system on all sorts of emeging personal computing devices.

Ah, Ubuntu/GNU/Linux, so to speak.

The revelation that some restaurants just serve their customers factory-prepared foods left my opinions of restaurants many notches down.

Sadly, Toshiba and Samsung laptops are not sold at Best Buy Montreal any more.

Personally I dismiss conlanging as a waste of time.

I'd rather expend my precious time on acquiring real-world languages such as French, or Japanese. Or Javascript, so to speak. :-)

It appeared that Hive Reader, an online RSS reader which had been promised by some developer, is just a piece of vaporware.

My yearning to have my own stable and nearly truly all-around Linux PC came to fruition around one year ago.

A mangled generation in North America.

Young men as well as young women of distrust.

J-pop is mysterious and intriguing.

I didn't use to like pasta. However, I've had a change of heart.

Nearly every software guy is a man of parts.

Every one of J's days is greatly truncated by raising his kid.

It appears that on average, Canadians dress themselves in many subtle ways, whereas mainland Chinese didn't use to.

E. G. needled me briefly when I mentioned "artsy films".

The chances of success of businesses managed by young people without the aid of mature hands are infinitesimally small, typically.

It seems that Valentine's Day has got only some sentimental value, thanks to consumerism.

And, the particular modern Western secular tradition makes many people unnecessarily poignant. Isn't it so?

IMHO, the inherent human greed induced capitalism, and then the latter exacerbated the former.

I'm still a bit confused by the thing of duvet or comforter.

Tisane, aka herbal tea, seems to be a complicated sort of drink.

I like vermicelli.

It's a super-duper sort of pasta and noodle. Is it noodle?

The word 'lusty' is so easy to be confused with 'lustful'.

The world loads nearly everyone of us with a lot of information, almost compulsorily.

Besides, nearly everyone of us streams or downloads a lot of videos and audio clips.

That's a lot of traffic on the internet altogether.

It seems that many female pop singers take advantage of suggestive dancing movements to engage, stimulate, and mesmerize the audience.

Well, do you think that's sad or something?

Crypto with GnuPG is very popular.

What money can buy exhilarates people, normally.

'^' is called the caret symbol.

Linux is gripping.

But many Linux applications are not.

Chillax, slow is cool.

I for one hope that slow medicine, as well as slow parenting, will take over.

My LG Nexus 5 phone faceplanted on the floor the other week.

Thanks to the rugged Ballistic brand phone case, the phone screen remained intact. That's called hardware investment.

J has been pensive in his private moments.

Well, personally I wouldn't say that blogosphere is the most powerful, but I would say that the RSS sphere, so to speak, is.

My laptop's optical drive seems to be not capable to play the Blu-ray thingummy.

Well, I guess I'll shop around for a new one next year.

Stuffocation causes people stress from time to time, it seems.

Uncontrolled consumerism boosts greed among people's hearts. Isn't that right?

This website, stuffocation.org , urges you to de-stuffocate your life and your home.

That action made by the woman was the single clincher. Final. Period.

Short video - A Beach Bot creating sandscape

Do those omnipresent emblazoned baseball caps embezzle our attention away from the wearers' faces?

There's a 'tomcat'. And there's a 'bobcat'.

There's a 'tomboy'. But there's no such a word as 'bobboy'.

Organic agriculture and horticulture seem to be growing in importance in this particular era.

Workers and employers are often at odds with each other on their standpoints, obviously.

Let's all hope that China's humongous economy is not going to become a debacle, seriously.

I for one have grown increasingly concerned.

The root cause is its distorted capital allocation schemes system, I suppose.

Compared to desktop Linux skills, desktop Windows skills have become menial, or easy, if you like.

Will people grow a bit vehement against Google Inc.?

Security loopholes of popular open source software pieces get fixed more quickly than their closed source counterparts, supposedly.

The momentum of Linux Mint cannot be ignored.

Well, chivalrous behavior almost died out in Canada.

Who are the culprits?

I have to take my life on the chin.

Home is not only for downtime.

For instance, am I myself a home-grown English language geek?

The sales gimmick of offering free publications degrades printing material a lot.

Being rude to people won't get one anywhere.

Man, nowadays so many young people simply abjure computing devices that are not made by Apple Inc.

On the other hand, is Apple sheerly a consumer computing Goliath?

Garble passwords and foil potential crackers.

Personally I think 'segue' to be a euphonious word.

A yummy meal makes you feel satisfied and chilled-out.

"Global" "variable". It sounds nice, huh?

I endeavor to acquire knowledge and know-how.

That's my life.

Pinocchio is an Italian name, indeed.

I don't know how all those many young Canadian students, who are quite used to expending their time in designer coffee houses, will develop their own sense of parsimony.

Sometimes we have to abide ignorance.

Those forms used by Canadian governments are neat with perforated lines.

How I wish the computer peripherals companies act in concert with Linux, in place of Windows.

Let's hope that China's real estate segment won't be an unmitigated disaster.

You see dogs sniff here and there.

They are smart creatures.

Females clamor for glamor, on Facebook, Pinterest, and so on.

Chillax, I'm better off without watching or reading news about the latest various crises across the world.

Chromebook vs. Windows laptop may look like a David and Goliath comparison.

But the former has got significant potential to eventually win over the latter and dominate personal desktop computing for the mass, down the road.

The command-line in desktop Linux easily segues into its counterpart in server Linux.

Ah, the patience of Job.

Well, 'cosplay' is such a new word in English that it didn't appear in major English dictionaries published in 2004 which I own.

While many small restaurants are jostling for survival, they should go the handmade foodstuff route.

Cooperative individuals are valuable.

You, as a boy or man, build, adjust, and titivate your hair style in front of the mirror.

That's your necessary grain of vanity.

Many Girls merely use their swanky Macbooks to view pics and flicks mostly, it seems.

The last name part of Mr. Desmond Tutu, 'Tutu', has nothing to do with the tutu worn by ballerinas at all.

According to http://www.ourbabynamer.com/meaning-of-Tutu.html , the name Tutu is of African origin and its meaning is 'cliff dweller'.

"管弦燁煜"。

'Drunk', 'befuddled', 'intoxicated', ...

There are so many words to describe drunkenness in English.

Freedom comes with prices for individuals. So be circumspect.

Don't view pics and videos of glamor models and sexpots too much.

Stay out of harm's way.

Is there usually more altruism in puppy love than in adult love?

What's the point of clamoring for a newer Android phone every two years?

Ah, the toxic consumeristic culture in North America.

'Immutable' is such a commonplace word in software development.

Normally I feel more like coming in from the cold at a café than at a cafeteria.

Tim Horton's is a notable exception, though.

A 'smock' is a totally different thing than a 'smog'.

But it's not so much distinct from an 'apron'.

I enjoyed the bracing winter air today.

The English combining form 'nano-' is slightly larger than 'pico-'.

Now I know where the little text editor Nano stands in UNIX-like systems. Anyway, the somewhat venerable and light Pico text editor has ceased development long time ago.

I'm about to comb through a text tutorial on the Nano editor.

Do you miss the demure ways by which women used to act, in the good old days?

Both smartphones and feature phones are mobile phones.

Snazzy OS X, formidably penetrating Windows, and deeply powerful Linux.

I choose the latter two for serious desktop computing. Which ones do you pick?

In Canada, the Trudeaus are luminaries, inherently.

I have no idea about why native Westerners seem to like the word 'serendipity' so much.

"Deuteronomy" and "2 Thessalonians" are the two chapters in the Bible that I recently touched.

There seem to be many more busybodies in China than in Canada.

Are "hidebound minds" and "fundamentalists" often synonymous in the real world?
