Don't forget about privatising British Rail, turning one of the best rail systems in the world into complete shambles

Neither is it on social media anymore, it's all just dick measuring, scams, MLMs, attention seeking and hating on outgroups now.

Ideally, if you can and know when you will use it, refrigerate them already before you open any jar, this reduces the time window when bacteria or molds can grow.

Don't let an Italian catch you calling a Bialetti coffee an espresso.

I must've played a ton of trash games that I purged from my memory, but one notable one that comes to mind is Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. The game was super highly anticipated and hyped and I was a massive C&C fan before, only to be completely disappointed by this massive turd that they shat on this genre defining franchise. The revolutionary "physics" did nothing to the game play, the main story was maybe a total of 4 hours and it was just buggy as fuck with the AI pathfinding being incredibly bad and somehow worse than the predecessors or the main other RTSs of the time.

I read the whole series and somehow missed this, I did chalk up a lot of things to "must be a chinese cultural thing", like the whole idea of all nations actually working together or globally banning "escapism" and just suspended my disbelief, so maybe I glossed over that bit as well. Is there a good article that dives into this?

E: Found this article, that goes into it as well as other issues, well worth a read

A comma here could also be parsed as a vector, an apostrophe has never been used in numbers as anything other than a thousand separator. Well, except as the transpose command in Matlab... or to indicate a character vector... fuck. Just use scientific notation or spell it out for large numbers.

There's a word for if you mean exactly two: two.

Commas don't belong in numbers, not as a thousands separator and definitely not as a decimal point.

Also ISO8601 and that dark theme should be the default
