Water is wet
None. I rather change myself than wasting time on changing something that won’t last forever anyway.
The word Himalayan is pronounced like Him-a-lay-an, NOT Him-all-ee-an…
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.
The Office means the British version. The American office refers to the American version.
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.
Or just excessively bright LEDs. Just because LEDs are super efficient, doesn’t mean they should take them as bright as they can go.
Allow me to try and persuade you. The problem is bright blue LEDs. It’s still stupid that they make them so bright, but the problem isn’t the color. A hypothetical bright red, green, or amber LED would also be a problem.
This is fair. I have had to put tape over a red alarm clock because it was too bright before. Those manufacturers also get the oubliette
Shorter wavelengths hit different though. That’s why we have blue light filtering glasses, Redshift, etc.
Chocolate soda needs to make a comeback.
how do you feel about Coca Cola Blāk?
Wait what
What does that taste like anyways?
Delicious. Canfield chocolate fudge soda was bliss.
Oxford Comma.
I reject, protest and censure your endorsement of the Oxford Comma.
To this day I use it and refuse any other option.
Are you for or against it? I mean, it does have it’s uses.
For it. Its lack of use in a union contract was a factor in a court ruling some years back. That’s when it went from pedantry to real-world consequence for me. Something was ruled similar to A and B rather than A or B.
There absolutely was a cornucopia in the fruit of the loom logo. That is the sole reason I know what a cornucopia is. It wasn’t on any table or in any thanksgiving decoration in my childhood, it isn’t a popular thing to exist in media, it was an obscure item that was a main part of an underwear logo.
Anyone that says differently is objectively wrong. I don’t know why the logo changed and why besides a patent entry even the company itself denies it. I don’t really care if this is an alternate earth or aliens or time travellers or an entirely natural quirk of existing in a quantum universe, but I know for an absolute fact the sole reason I know what a cornucopia is is because of my underwear, and not because my dick is coincidentally called the horn of plenty.
There absolutely wasn’t. Snopes did a good piece on this in 2024.
Yeah, snopes isn’t a trustworthy source, and more importantly, there absolutely was. I know that for an absolute certainty, and gaslighting isnt going to work.
I remember this as well, just like I remember Mandela dying in prison. Felt like I was Looney Tunes when I found out as an adult he was still alive.
Denying that the logo used to have a cornucopia is a thing? Sheesh, TIL.
100%
Pedestrians have the right of way. Most of the other hills are survivable.
Niche pronounced with a “ch” sound is wrong and dumb and I hate you
Rhymes with “sheesh”
So what sound should we use instead of “ch”? What about “ch”?
English spelling is so silly
It originates from French
“sh”
Don’t you dare ask questions.
Pineapple on pizza is delicious, that is all
The Shambler from Quake is covered in fur
Feathers*, just like modern dinosaurs
What’s heavier: A kilogramme of steel, or a kilogramme of shambler feathers?
While they may weigh the same, the steel will do more damage when dropped.
Appliances and cars should never have an internet connection for any reason.
Also fuck touch screens give me buttons.
I fucking love my wifi enabled heat pump. Turn that shit on half an hour before I get home. Comfy shit.
Pretty big hill if you ask me
Im dying on it either way.
Im dying on it either way.
To a self-driving car, no less!
Agree with this. With cars it makes them vulnerable to hacking unless safety critical systems are isolated. Fly-by-wire airplanes specifically isolate the flight control computers from anything that could connect to the internet for this reason
The split between “Today” and “Tomorrow” is at midnight, not when one sleeps/wakes up.
This comes up often after midnight when my girlfriend asks me about “tomorrow”. Why discuss breakfast for tomorrow when we still haven’t had breakfast today??
I guess my hill is to fight you on this.
They current day isnt over until you wake up, or the sun comes up
The Baha’is use sundown as the end/start point of the day, do with that information what you will
Must disagree. If today ended at midnight, then my streak of watching at least one episode of a TV show every single day would have been broken years ago. No, today ends when I go to sleep, even if it’s at noon on what is your tomorrow
Some computer nerd friends and I came up with a solution for this:
Computer architectures typically provide separate instructions for “logical” and “arithmetic” bit-shifts. The details as to why aren’t important, but we can borrow the nomenclature.
When referring to “tomorrow” in the sense of “when I wake up from my next sleep cycle”, use “logical tomorrow”. When referring to “tomorrow” in the sense of “after midnight tonight”, use “arithmetic tomorrow” (or “chronological tomorrow”, if you really want to be pedantic).
You’ll love TV advertising schedules. You can buy slots all the way up through 29:59:59
ngl, that’s a very shitty hill to die on
Perish
I love that you argue about this
Our relationship is built on tiny hills to die on. Of course, it is always playful 😜
She will use a common grammatical construction in Spanish (“a por”) that became technically correct in Spain (where she is from) long after the conquest. I am from Mexico, where that construction is not used (we don’t insert the “a” before “por”). So, when she uses “a por” I act like I don’t understand and argue that it is not in the spanish her ancestors taught mine.
