Boneless wings are just chicken nuggets.

Nuggets are minced, no?

Wings are dark meat only, and taste different.

Carmel should be the hard version and caramel is the soft kind.

It's "different from", not "different than", goddammit.

Thirteen months, 28 days each + one day. (Plus another day when there is a leap year).

It would just work.

That's a cool thought experiment on what we do with that extra day. Like super ball out cookout?

Day off for everyone, election day

"an historic" is wrong and terrible if you pronounce the "h"

[โ€“] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

"A historical" does sound a lot like "ahistorical" when spoken out loud.

Just an observation I just made.

[โ€“] Malgas@beehaw.org 1 points 15 hours ago

Not in my accent. I would pronounce the first 'a' as /ษ™/ and the second as /eษช/.

Time zones shouldn't exist. There should just be UTC time and you would go to work at the equivalent of your morning time.

[โ€“] chobeat@lemmy.ml 3 points 21 hours ago

It would just be much easier to use UTC as the standard for all cross-timezone activities. The small portion of the population who needs to think about timezones would just have to add another timezone to their digital tools and the others won't have to do anything.

My stairs are pretty steep does that count?

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.

Fish is superior to Bash and ZSH, I dont care that you can have auto completion on both its a pain to set up.

[โ€“] B0rax@feddit.org 2 points 4 hours ago

I just looked up fish, looks very interesting, I have not heard about it before. Thanks!

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.
