People are saying "whenever" when they just mean "when" and I hate it with a fiery passion.

"Whenever I was at the game yesterday..."

When. WHEN!!

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.

Boneless wings are just chicken nuggets.

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

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

It would just work.

Carmel should be the hard version and caramel is the soft kind.

void main() {
    //code
}

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.

It's "different from", not "different than", goddammit.

"an historic" is wrong and terrible if you pronounce the "h"

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.

Oxford Comma.

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 :(

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.

February should only have 1 r

Cloud-based. If a product won't work if my internet dies, or I can't access my data without internet or a subscription, I won't buy it.

Pedestrians have the right of way. Most of the other hills are survivable.

Search engines should not use locational data including IP address to provide "more relevant" results. Checking for restaurants or weather forecast? You should have to manually add the relevant search terms. Want results in a specific language? You should have to manually apply this filter.

Convenience is not worth the potential harm of locationally biased search results.

For example, where I live is like White Nationalist Central Station. My search results are thus far more likely to net me results with a pro-US/nationalist skew, thus potentially entrenching or normalizing harmful beliefs.

Whenever I've tried bringing this up with Techlords, I get a feeble, "B-but then you couldn't say 'restaurants near me' UnU" and like ... good? It's not like it's hard to type city and state in the search field.

I've never found a search engine that even has this as an option. Even Sear XNG instances net results that are clearly aligned with the location of the instances server.

A Kagi dev even lied to me when I was looking into that as an alternative, saying they don't use location, when it's pretty easy to determine that they do.

I also don't want a "good" algorithm. I also don't want to see big corporate sites prioritized either. If some backwoods nobody has a site that's more relevant, show it to me. I feel like pre-Google search engines were better, but that's another vent for another day.

Now where did I put my false teeth and walker???

Single-speed bicycles suck.
They combine the drawbacks of a geared bike with the drawbacks of a fixed gear bike.

Water is wet

The word Himalayan is pronounced like Him-a-lay-an, NOT Him-all-ee-an.....
