    Thirteen months, 28 days each + one day. (Plus another day when there is a leap year).

    It would just work.

    Time zones shouldn’t exist. There should just be UTC time and you would go to work at the equivalent of your morning time.

    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.

    There are no bad pizza toppings, and any pizza with only cheese and sauce is a wasted opportunity.

      I usually feel this way, but I was at a pizza place a, while back, and the cheese on the cheese pizza just looked so much gooier than on the others… I still wonder how much better my life would be if I’d had the gooey cheese instead of the goo-less supreme…

      Pizza is primarily a bread first. Toppings are only an enhancement of said bread. And if the bread sucks, the whole pizza sucks and no combination of toppings will save it.

      I was heavily on your side untill the comma, man. Margherita is delicious and the ultimate test of the chef as there is nowhere to hide mistakes.

      Does it qualify if I add basil after the cook?

    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 :(

        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

        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.

      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.

        Shorter wavelengths hit different though. That’s why we have blue light filtering glasses, Redshift, etc.

          a non-diffused, bright, monocromatic red led would still be painful to look at in the dark, it’s just that blue LEDs tend to be brighter + our eyes are more sensitive to blueish green light at night + the damn companies don’t bother putting a diffuser in front of the diode.

        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

      Or just excessively bright LEDs. Just because LEDs are super efficient, doesn’t mean they should take them as bright as they can go.

        The British one came first, hence my view. It doesn’t matter though cause you’re missing the point of the British one.

      As an American, this disagrees with my worldview. But I also don’t know enough about the British version to say your wrong 🤷‍♂️

      I never watched the British one, and I don’t care for the American one, too cringey. Makes me sympathetic cringe.

    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.

    If a motorcycle has to be ear-splittingly loud for “safety”, then it’s too dangerous to be road legal.

        No, it’s morphed into one of those pearls of wisdom that people pass down and truly believe. They all have their ‘true story’ of blipping the throttle and “suddenly the car that was moving over to smush me stopped!!!” The assholes who know it isn’t true can be discerned from the true believers by the humor they find in their tales of blasting people with sounds.

      It’s explicitly the opposite, scientifically, according to my safety class

      The deep rumble being loud overwhelms anyone’s ability to properly locate the bike quickly, and they demonstrated this live. It’s definitely harder to locate a LOUDER bike
