I follow human beings (at walking pace, from the shadows)
I'd literally never heard of it until five years ago when I was talking Halloween and POV shots with someone. Turns out it was showing _that night_ at the arthouse theater. I really had no idea what to expect; I just sat dumbfounded as the credits rolled.

Regexes generally aren't supported since very few people can be arsed to implement the DFA to NFA transform needed to make them safe against adversarial inputs.
Never mind that every client runs on a 1990s supercomputer or better.

The cubes just need to freeze from the top; I use a deep tray that sits in a foam box with a silicone mold that helps separate the cubes from the cloudy part. clearlyfrozen.com
It's a bit of work separating the top and bottom but not too hard with practice.

If you're asking if my partners just accepted it, then I'd say yes?
I don't remember having a discussion beforehand, but everyone I've called that has been in a relationship where I'd feel pretty confident knowing where things stand. I think?
Still not sure I'm answering the right question.

Australians use "partner" a lot, even more than a few straight and married ones.
Bully for you, going for "girlfriend" as the default.
