The British spelling also looks a bit mental to be honest. But I’m sure it’s France’s fault.

Wait, when did Paypal buy Honey? 😳

The front lights are allowed to flash in Denmark and it’s super annoying, and dangerous in my opinion. The lowest allowed blinking frequency is also way lower than rear lights in Sweden, so it’s like being flashed by a camera repeatedly.

IIRC there was only a short window when turning the rear lights off was a thing, and the law has since gone back to having to turn them on when the car is turned on. While there are still people in cars like that, they’re a minority.

To be fair, most boys aren’t as sophisticated as bots.

You can use FF’s or Chrome’s cookie files: http://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#load-cookies

I would recommend Aria2. It can download several chunks of a file in parallel, resume downloads automatically with a set number of retries, it supports mirrors (maybe not an option for Google Takeout, but for other cases), and it can dpwnload over many different protocols.

But that’s not unconventional, is it? Everyone has one.

Not a line, but when you finally need to swim in Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons, and you overcome your fear by using the big brother’s controls. That game was emotionally taxing.

Hmm, okay, it’s apparently debated. However, the only way I’ve learned it is that initialisms are words formed from initial letters of included words, and acronyms are initialisms pronounced as words. It seems like it varies by country as well.

Are there circles in which it’s NOT pronounced like that?

Looking For Group

Someone at work insisted the MVP emoji meant Minimum Viable Product. I get that the term exists, and that we use it, but it’s way more niche than Most Valuable Player, and it’s certainly no emoji.

I learned about a11y like a year ago, and thought it was 1337 speak for ally until I looked it up, and only then (like 20 years after first seeing it) did I realize what i18n meant.

It’s always been For The Win to me. Fuck the world seems to have been before my time.

Which I do.
