Yes let me explain my answer I didn't elaborate properly.

I think the only recourse the US has if European countries use these weapons without authorization is that the US will not sell more weapons.

And if Europe continues to intreases it's weapon and ammunition production like they have the last two years that might not be a deal breaker for Europe

That is only if they want to continue to buy new weapons, not if they intend to male weapons in Europe

I think the person you replied to was joking, since he said rings a bell?

Hahahaha, this is almost what happened to my daughter 2 years ago.

Neighbor is Vi, wife is Filipina. I don't know why the viet neighbor family don't celebrate Halloween, they are catholics (don't know how many viet are) and their youngest kid is a teenager. But that is their business, so I don't put my nose down that rabbit hole. Daughter then 3, rings their door bell for trick or treat. She insisted, in ringing their doorbell, it's the only house she insisted rining, why? Because we told her trick or treating is going out to scare the neighbors. And the word neighbor is mostly used to our next door Viet neighbors, because our doors are so close.

Anyway, daughter ring the door bell. They don't have anything ready, the mother goes and gets a pack of instant noodles for my daughter. This made my daughter so happy, all the candy she got was secondary to this pack of instant noodles. The memory of these noodles outlived the memory of any candy she got both two years ago and last year. She rang the door bell again this year but they didn't open, she now 5, was mildly sad that she didn't get another pack of noodles.

I don't know how to windows, but in Linux I just disable the power button on my laptop. Long press still works, this was to avoid accidentally putting the laptop to sleep when accidentally pressing the power button

Have you tried emacs with evil mode? It's a bit slow, not as slow as VS code or anything, but not really fast. But it's basically neovim but you get to use lisp to configure it instead of lua

I hope this fluff post will be allowed if I actually share some facts about DnD and etymology

Balders Gate is named after the Norse god Baldr/Balder/Baldur

Baldur in DnD is named after a legendary explorer Baldurian from Faerûn, name obviously inspired by the norse god's name.

The word Gate means street in Norwegian, as well in Swedish/Danish/Icelandish but its spelled differently in those languages

The word Gate in English is a cognate with the word Gate in Norwegian, meaning they stem from the same root word, incidentally they are also spelled the same way today, which is not a requirement to be a cognate, Gate in English is also a cognate with the word for street in other nordic languages even though they spell it differently.

Swedish still spell it the same as in Old Norse, Gata, which at the that point meant path, road, or way, which is how it is used in current day nordic languages, but you can see how the English word Gate is now used for an entrance with a door of some kind. Other English definitions for the word gate, like a manner of walking or even a path, among others also stem from the same root word.
