  • Warning: my music nerd's about to come out.

    I'm in my 40s, and have been playing music since single digits. I still remember the order of lines in the staffs with "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge", "FACE", "Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always", and "All Cows Eat Grass". I did teach my kids "Good Burritos Don't Fall Apart", though, since they seem to like burritos.

    My internal math nerd agrees with the grandparent though, for some reason I just remembered the order of operations and was confused when my kids came home with PEDMAS. But to be fair, I use the order of operations every day at work, so 🤷. I'm also one of those people who will insist on using parentheses everywhere there's more than two terms, though, so take from that what you will.

  • Geforce 4 came out in 2002, so this meme is likely about 23 years old. Can legally drink, and could have voted for both Trudeau and Carney.

  • If they're bringing up ebikes, may as well whine about regular bikes. They can also go above 30. I go over 30 for about half my morning commute.

  • Split the repository? It's not an unreasonable thing to do.

    That said, FreeBSD's repo is 2ish GiB, and Linux is 3, LLVM is huge too. Not unreasonable to want to mirror those.

  • Mine will tell me the measured pressures of all tires. But only if at least one is low. I haven't found a way to get it to just tell me the pressure in any tire if it's not throwing an error at me.

    Dear Mazda, you have a full user interface in your vehicle. Why can't you let me see the tire pressure from just a menu option?

  • Expand North! So much room up there.

  • TIL I live North of Canada!

  • Thank fuck my grandparents were completely independent until they got very sick very quickly and died.

    Two of my grandparents passed before I was born, of rather aggressive cancer. The other two lived completely independently until age-related illnesses got them in a matter of weeks.

    I kinda hope that's what happens to my parents; they're in their mid 70s now and doing just fine on their own. My sister and I only need to help with with the occasional thing, like fixing stuff around the house that takes a decent amount of strength to do, or climbing ladders.

  • Sometimes you get article transfer as well. The English word "apron" comes from the obsolete "napron", in turn from Old French "napperon".

    People heard "a napron", which became "an apron", which eventually led to the main word being "apron".
