You usually get the book corresponding to your faith, so that would be an option. Given that the Bible (can't speak mich about it but way less about the others) has chapters and verses and what not, addressing single words is simple.

For the "name of relative is the code", yeah that needs a good memory.

Your options depend on how much code you can agree on. Ask about imaginary relatives map each name to a meaning, so asking about the health of Aunt Judy could mean that the prison refuses your access to a lawyer and telling you thought about Uncle Sam could mean they keep you in solitary. Or whatever facts you want to communicate. Your revolutionary friends could respond in the same manner. The flaw is in being limited to previously agreed upon code words.

If you have access to a common book, you can refer to words by page, line and word number. You could embed the numbers as words in a story you are writing to your (imaginary) child. "Behind the seven hills, there were five houses with nine rooms each" can translate to "take the 9th word on page seven, line five". Obviously you need the exact same copy of the book for this to work, the Bible is quite common for this cipher.

I knew my current, quite cheap doesn't do it like the one my parents had during my childhood. That one made a way more consistent "cooking sound".

If he continues to play deus ex human revolution, he will eventually learn why it didn't work out that easily even in the future Detroit.

There was a big git hoster (cough bitbucket cough) who didn't have support for signed commits until a few months ago. But the signature is only considered good if the pubkey you uploaded contains the mail you use for logging in. Because surely no sane person would have more than one mail, right?

You could even say it has 3901000 mAh. (I show myself out)

We manage our "food inventory" with Grocy which calls itself "the ERP beyond your fridge". It basically tracks every single purchase and consumption of food and also each items best before date. It needs a bit initial setup and you need to remind yourself to checkout stuff you consume but then it's just great. Not a single item spoiled because it got pushed too far back on the shelf. And since Grocy knows how much of what item we want in stock, it automatically writes our shopping lists with stuff which is about to run out.

So the shopping is basically day to day as we return from work and pass the store just ticking things off the list. And we made a rule for ourselves to only buy the stuff on the list, nothing extra to avoid impulse purchases.

The domain itself is a joke on its own.

GTA told me that, one mission in particular.

The upstairs enemy would've attacked the player taking this photograph already, so we would know what happened here.

It could be an instance of "how do you do, fellow kids?"

Wanting to fit in but not knowing how to do it right.
