    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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 :(

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

    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.

      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.

        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
