They knew what they were doing. Obviously this is (I assume) just more of the same step-family kink fad nobody asked for.

This video says it both ways I’ve heard. The white people around me pronounce it like the one with the union jack (heavy emphasis on the B), the Spanish speakers pronounce it more like the version with the American flag background (ironic). Most of the other pronunciation videos I could find seem to be made by AI voices and mangle the pronunciation in a myriad of ways. This other video has an actual person speaking well (I can’t speak to the rest of the content of the video).

I’ve been mocked and had some people outright pretend they don’t understand what I’m saying when I pronounce guanábana correctly.

They shouldn’t be separate in the first place. It’s just bad design that’s prone to failure. And in this case that failure mode is VERY far from failsafe, it’s potentially deadly.

Too bad those “easily accessible manual releases” aren’t the actual door handle and are hidden so well you’d never find them if you were unfamiliar with the vehicle.

Almost as bad as once every 3 days!

Next time you tape over it, try this. Cut an old credit card, hotel key card, or something similar to just larger than the switch’s recess. Tape only the top edge to the machine so that the stiff plastic or cardboard covers the switch, but can be lifted up and out of the way when you need to access it. I’ve used a similar trick to protect light switches I wanted to occasionally use, but not accidentally flip along with the other switches in the next gang over.

Sorry, that’s not what I see.

Both are measurements of cross-sectional AREA and are defined in terms of square millimeters (mm^2), not mm.

BitTorrent wasn’t even launched until AFTER Napster was shutdown.

The mention of Napster would have put the original download this tweet refers to as happening sometime before July 2001. But, it’s entirely possible they were using Napster as a generic term for any number of the other protocols around in 2002, most of which didn’t have the ability to resume. BitTorrent would have been the anomaly here for its resumabilty, but was rarely used for music privacy at the time. PirateBay and Demonoid launching later in 2003.

They’re all very fungible assets, maybe even more than cash in those times. Except the drummer boy, but a song is probably all that poor kid had to give.

“Ok Boomer.”

But seriously though. After the proliferation of the printing press, I’m willing to bet, someone made the exact same joke about printed books. And I know that the Boomers’ parents made the same joke about television, and their grandparents made the same joke about radio. And this isn’t even really a Boomer joke, it’s a Gen-X joke. I know because my boomer parents actually made this joke about Gameboys and walk-mans before the Internet (or at least convenient portable Internet) was even really a ubiquitous thing. It’s just that Boomers are living longer and are so damn vocal and numerous that they are STILL making this joke, updated for the modern generation.

What technology will gen-Y and gen-alpha lament about in stale memes?

God what a naive and toxic attitude. This peak toxic troll thinking that has absolutely no place in any useful discourse. With all sincerity, you should really seek help. I really do pity you. This isn’t flattery. I’m not angry. I’m not celebrating you. I don’t care to hurt you. You’re just a sad fool and I hope you find a way to be better.

More like working class traitor.

I’m always amazed how some people have no self awareness. They have no concerns for others. And yet if you acted like they did and it affected them they would be so pissed.

Like the person sneaking photos of people in public to ridicule them anonymously on the Internet?

What’s wrong with taking your shoes off before putting them up on the furniture? Seems the polite thing to do so you don’t get snow or mud or whatever other shit is on your shoes on the seat. It’s not like there is someone else using either of those seats opposite at the moment. Maybe you’re just feeling shame about your foot fetish? It’s okay to have a kink about feet, but non-consenting voyeurism is not okay.

So we’re not getting hand milked by 40 cows while getting figged by 3 cherubs.

YYYY-MM-DD is the only non-mental way to write either.

I was only answering your question about why programming a way to parse those common date formats is problematic.

The date is 12/11/2024. Am I talking about yesterday or a day about a month ago?

I was going to say something snarky too, but this is the only sane take here. Nothing more needs to be said.

Ok, not to many other comments, still though.
