It’s a pet-peeve of mine and I haven’t forgotten

Yeah, something like “it’s here” or “here it is.” With the proper accents the phrase is “aquí está.”
I moved out at 18 and haven’t relied on my family for anything since. It’s not that I hate them; in fact I’m very close to my family but it’s just expected that that’s what you do.
Granted, that was in the Midwest where I could afford a brand new apartment on minimum wage. I’m not sure how I would’ve done this in California (where I live now).
You're right, looks like I completely misremembered. 
I actually have the exact same network switch, and it frequently goes on sale on Amazon. I think I picked it up for around $40 (but this was probably 5–10 years ago).
I can’t get into it. It makes me crave plain water more than anything.
That is a hilarious street name, omg
So you pronounce GIF as “jiff?” That sounds totally more wrong to me. It’s “graphics” not “jraphics.”
Living in Los Angeles as a white person, I refuse to pronounce street and city names that are Spanish the English-speaking way. Knowing Spanish since I was a kid from school and using it on a daily basis, my brain simply doesn’t butcher the pronunciation by default.
It’s caused confusion though for sure. I used to live near a street called La Tijera, but Americans pronounced it almost like Spanish “la tierra” which is a completely different word, and I couldn’t figure out where this street was that everyone was talking about.
One I can’t stand is pronouncing regex as “rej-ecks.” I’ve also heard Redis pronounced “red-iss” which also sounds gross to me.
Like why is it in quotes? This is a big pet peeve of mine ever since I moved to LA and started seeing it everywhere. Another one is abbreviating California with “Ca.” instead of “CA”
I used to heavily disagree with this, but since I started ripping both 1080p and UHD Blu-rays losslessly (AKA, just dump their decrypted contents) I’ve been blown away with what can be done in 1080p — my most recent example would be Severance. My only gripe is that it isn’t HDR10+ but I can live with it.
