All dates should be formatted according to ISO 8601 standard (YYYY-MM-DD).
Months should be adjusted so September, October, November, and December are the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th month respectively (so the literally meaning of the names accords with their actual meaning).
Not cleaning your kitchen knife after sharpening is trashy and contaminates your food with metal shavings.
I use nanoseconds unix timestamps as my date mechanism.
are you a computer?
on smartwatch ๐
Related: 12-hour AM/PM time, at least in written language, is dumb compared to 24-hour time. I don't want to have to infer from context if 8 is morning or evening. Build that disambiguation into the written time, ffs!
yes!! I'm a fan of 24-hour time, though we should honestly switch to metric time, I think we're at least a second French revolution away from that happening ๐
Boneless wings are just chicken nuggets.
Nuggets are minced, no?
Wings are dark meat only, and taste different.
Time zones shouldn't exist. There should just be UTC time and you would go to work at the equivalent of your morning time.
Found the britain /s
Carmel should be the hard version and caramel is the soft kind.
Thirteen months, 28 days each + one day. (Plus another day when there is a leap year).
It would just work.
That's a cool thought experiment on what we do with that extra day. Like super ball out cookout?
We could make it a national holiday or something. Like New Year's Eve.
Day off for everyone, election day
Lousy Smarch weather..
void main() {

Is better than
void main()
{
//code
}
Why would you want to put it on a separate line? Are you paid by the height of the source file or something?
Tabs, not spaces.
I don't give a shit if your arguments perfectly align to the function. It's only semantic indication. Use the goddamn special character that has its own dedicated key.
English verbs have historically had present form, past form, and past participle form, eg. go / went / gone. I'm sad to see the past participle form being phased out of American English. People I went to school with and who I'm sure were taught differently (not to mention innumerable podcasters and public radio personalities), now say things like: "By the time I got home I found he'd already went," eliminating the past participle and instead using the past form. Had saw is not uncommon either. I am old enough I refuse to incorporate this development in the language. If I ever encounter had was/were in the wild I might blow a gasket. Now entering my fuddy-duddy years :(
Anyone who puts always-on blue LEDs in electronics deserve the oubliette. People who put such LEDs in electronics meant for the bedroom deserve an oubliette that'a slowly filling with water.
That sucks, but you can put some isolation tape on LEDs.
But I wish something horrible to those who thought it's a great idea to make every goddamn electronic device make beeping noises.
My water boiler, fan, washing machine. In my childhood I don't remember everything beeping at every interaction. It makes me furious and you often cannot fully disable it.
Once I tried to solder the beeper out but my soldering iron was probably not suitable so I failed :(
You can muffle the beeper pretty effectively with some tape, the old air fryer we had terrified one of the dogs because of the incessant beeping. My coffee scale by default beeps whenever you touch it, thankfully that's 100% mutable.
I also hate this.
The beeping! My damn air fryer has to let everyone in the neighborhood know that I'm making food at 3:00 am, I hate it so much
Gonna ignore the fire alarm someday because I'll just assume someone is air frying something
Or just excessively bright LEDs. Just because LEDs are super efficient, doesn't mean they should take them as bright as they can go.
Appliances and cars should never have an internet connection for any reason.
Also fuck touch screens give me buttons.
The Office means the British version. The American office refers to the American version.
I live in a pretty mountainous area, but I can think of a couple blind corners on small hills near me. So probably the one on the way to the bakery while running or biking.
But I do a lot of ski touring so I'd rather die on one of the big ones.
Single-speed bicycles suck.
They combine the drawbacks of a geared bike with the drawbacks of a fixed gear bike.
My stairs are pretty steep does that count?
