You spelled the name of the mountain wrong. It's not "Everst", it's "Chomolungma".
It's a big, grown-up mountain now. It can have several names.
Fun fact: in Poland it usually is the case that the older you are, the more names you have.
Well, not so much nowadays but back in the day virtually every single person went through Catholic sacraments of baptism (where you acquire second name) and confirmation (where you acquire third, although this one doesn't go into any official documents).
As a semipolish parent, I shouldn't tell you, there's more. You get an additional for each generation spawned at least, and may claim bonus names per descendant.

Also, your chances of finding an extra one in a loot box in your grandma's fallout shelter grow by 5% per charisma point.

@LaoC actually, the lootboxes contain WW2-era weapons and ammo. Mostly air-to-ground explosive ammo. The law requires to deposit all the loot at the nearest police station.

Then there's the buried loot! Well, buried with shovels vs gravity. Ground-to-ground explosive single round does not goes click. Except if you hear it.
Kinda P2W since you need an item to find them.

I did wonder why it is so important that I don't divulge this new name that everyone of the same sex as I who was going through that day would be receiving...

@Zecc I recall once reading a remark by an nvidia engineer, expressing surprise at how well wine's directx code worked with a wide variety of games without a single piece of game-detection logic.
The wine team, meanwhile, had never considered that conformance tests run from
winetest.exe
might return different results when run ashl2.exe

Searching cache.... I believe it is a not-really-great game where Barbie goes to a ranch and does things like brush horses, ride them around, and maybe race them?

@Tsaukpaetra Aww... It's a horsie-themed rollercoaster!
I don't know why I ever expect anything more. But it somehow always surprises me how little physics there can be in these children's games. I mean, most games make an effort to simulate inertia. Even if only in the most basic of movements. But children's games... don't.

The craziest compatibility hack I heard of is that to this day, all Windows versions ship with a full 1:1 copy of Windows 95 memory manager, to support applications that rely on using unallocated memory and incorrect pointer arithmetic that just happened to work on Windows 95 but would crash and burn at even the slightest change in the allocator's logic.

I am told of a business near the Illinois / Kentucky border called "Nervous Charlie's Gas And Fireworks", some 30 years ago, it has stuck for some reason. Might not be there now, or for various other intervals.

A man has gone on a business trip for a couple weeks. His wife wants to surprise him with a new wardrobe for their bedroom. She orders one and it gets delivered and moved into the bedroom, and at first everything is fine. But over the next few days, she notices the wardrobe makes loud noises whenever a bus passes by her house. She calls the shop she bought it from and they promise to send somebody to fix it. And a few days later, a repairman arrives. The woman lets him inside and the repairman proceeds to check out the wardrobe. He looks everywhere but he can't find anything wrong with it. He was about to call BS and leave but then a bus passes by and the wardrobe makes the loud sound. So there definitely is some problem, but he still can't tell what it is. He notices that the wardrobe was closed when the bus was passing, and thinks that maybe the problem is on the inside and only happens when it's closed. He decides to step inside the wardrobe so he can see what's happening when another bus goes by.
It so happened it was on this day that the husband came back from the business trip. He enters his home, greets his wife, and after some time enters the bedroom. He notices the new wardrobe and wants to check out what it looks like inside. So he opens the wardrobe and finds the repairman. The repairman says, "just punch me already, you're not going to believe I'm waiting for a bus."

The staff can be largely hollow, holding more monitors. This gives better logistical efficiency. Robots have to have some stuff besides lizards in them.
