Piracy Matthews it hard to buy bird seed you need delivered the next day for your birds though

This is a very common dialect thing. Like in the UK, especially the North east “you alright?” Or just “alright?” is just a simple greeting that is often also just repeated in response.

That’s the strange thing in stranger things right?

If you wash things that have been treated to be hydrophobic, eventually it’ll wear off so you have to reproof it. If you ever wonder why an old waterproof jacket is starting to let water in, it’ll be because you’ve washed it

I can’t have a sleep timer cause i need it to stay on for when i periodically wake up through the night. It’s so I don’t focus on my tinnitus and can no longer sleep.

Not another D&D podcast is what i always recommend if people want a dnd podcast. I stopped listening to it though since I listen to podcasts whilst sleeping now and ill easily lose track of what I have actively listened to and whatnot. Will eventually get back on it at some point though.

Lateral - guests try to solve weird puzzles that require lateral thinking

Regular Features - regulars take turns telling a funny story each. They can be all kinds of different things. Songs, plays where everyone needs to get involved, or even true stories backed up with covert voice recordings.

That’s Absurd Please Elaborate - regulars either explain something weird and interesting or listeners will prompt then with a question that they will go and research and explain in the podcast.

Horne Section Podcast - Little Alex Horne (of Taskmaster fame) interviews a guest alongside his band that will keep playing improv music of all kinds of different genres throughout. Regularly playing songs that end up being relevant to the guest, for example could be a funny retelling of their life or some fun word play on their name etc. the banter between Alex and band makes this one. They probably didn’t even need guests to be honest.

A Problem Squared - 2 regulars each try to solve a question posed by listeners. Is often very intellectual but the two hosts are very witty and can find an interesting and funny way to explain someone’s complicated concepts that anyone could understand and learn from.

James Acasters Perfect Sounds - each episode James shares an album specifically from the year 2016 to try and convince a guest that 2016 was the best year in music in an attempt to justify his obsession of trying to physically collect every album released in 2016. The reasons for it being 2016 specifically are very personal to him and uses each album to explain why. (This is like a companion piece/extension to a book he wrote prior on the same subject, except this time with other people involved and their opinions as well as the audible medium allowing him to share snippets of the sins they are talking about).

Some other ones I regularly listen to:

Cox n Crendor

Geekenders

Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast

C.R.E.A.M. (Cars Rule Everything Around Me - The TDC Podcast)

SmartLess

Windbreaker

Better Offline (A good one for Tech Sceptics that hate the big tech monopolies)

Bit of a sidenote.

Are the English numbers 11-20 influencer by the base 20 system of french back when we had French speaking royalty? And for some reason they’re the only unique “digits” for lack of a better term that survived because once we get to twenty it’s a pure base 10 system with a consistent pattern throughout.

I’m hoping someone more knowledgeable than me can tell me if my thinking is correct or not.

Edit: thanks for the history lessons, were interesting to read through.

There’s a lot of cars that check via camera too to double check, for missing/outdated information and for temporary speed limit signs.

This is why you have style guides, policies and safeguards, with others checking PRs as they go through to catch this sort of stuff.

Plus I’m not saying everything should be commented. By default things should be explainable through the code and making sure variable and method names are descriptive, along with strong typing if your language has it.

Comments are there for when the code itself is not enough. But you’re right shit always creeps in eventually regardless of the best intentions. Which is why teams need tech debt breaks where no new features are added and they go through the code fixing the niggly things that haven’t been worth fixing whilst doing other features, and ensuring critical sections (the kind that usually have comments on them) are still working as intended and described accurately.

This is from a senior dev in the industry.

If you’re ever the one updating code with comments and not ensuring they match to the new updates, you are the problem, the comments are not.

comment anything that needs extra info to explain what and why (if the code is not inherently self explainable)

Nah, I used QWERTY till I was like 28 then learned Colemak-dh on an ergo split keyboard, only took a month to get to normal and now I can type with both. It’s like becoming multilingual but WAAAAAAY easier.

If your local politicians are as anti trump as your dry they are then go meet with them and ask how you can help them.

I don’t support it, but when you know both parties are going to support it, you at least go and vote for the one that won’t fuck everything else up and won’t put the genocide on a faster track than it already is.

Then you allowed that genocide to make way for the riviera of the middle east (sponsored by the USA)

Not the same guy but even where i love it’s 18 but even I couldn’t think about dating someone below 21 they’re practically like kids still to me and I’m only 30, still don’t think I would go as low as 21 myself though that still seems too young for me haha.

It’s crazy to me that some countries have everyone double check they’ve paid the right amount of tax. It’s wild to me. That would be your governments job, and then they either tell you you owe them money or they give you a rebate. That’s how it should work everywhere.

Something something, unchecked capitalism is bad.

I wish the general populace weren’t so scared of tax and supported it more.

Except all of their remains have somehow disappeared
