Why do Brits and Americans have a special term instead of just using Immigrant?

I'm getting ready to run Icewind Dale, and noticed some of the maps have this marking in them, but none of them call attention to it or explain it. Does it indicate height, or something weird like "this ramp is a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 30 feet" or "30 feet extra ramp here we didn't have space for, stretch it out when you run it"?

I'm currently working on setting up a proxy on my home computer to bypass my school's blockers, and want to see if I can make any improvements to security. To be clear, I haven't opened this to the internet yet, I'm asking BEFORE doing that.

The setup is thus: I have a squid server running on my linux laptop, which will only allow authenticated users through. It's no longer listening to the default port (3128) and is instead listening to a port in the 10000-20000 range. I would have both my router and modem set to forward that same port, and my laptop's local IP address is static.

This is a consumer internet connection, so Dynamic DNS, but I have a NOIP address ready to connect once I open the ports (already have the client installed and running, just throws an error on the website because it can't get through the port.)

I'll be connecting to my proxy server through the FoxyProxy extension, rather than through the Windows 11 control panel on my school laptop, because I dont have access to that specific part of the control panel.

That's the sum total of the setup I've got thus far. It only needs to be able to support my lone connection, I'm not sharing this around. Any improvements to be made?

I'll be playing a game, and then one day it won't work. After updating my graphics drivers, it works again. But the game didn't receive an update, so why does it just break?

I know it's bacteria, but where is that bacteria coming from? Why doesn't brushing, flossing, mouth washing, or getting a deep clean at the dentist get rid of it entirely?

Game is Journey of the Gods, for anyone else looking!

I only remember the first big fight; you had a crossbow and sword, and were fighting a tentacle thing made of black ooze on a farm. The game overall was about becoming a god, with the gods being birds and you collecting feathers to ascend.

I originally played it on the Oculus Quest.

Four goobers tried to break in through my window When that failed, two of the babies dropped down my chimney
