  • Admin is out of their area due to work and the firewall server or something died completely preventing them from remotely accessing anything to bring it back up and also preventing using their backup (per a post I read a few hours ago).

  • Most languages don't need a dummy subject to do the raining. Whilst "it's raining" may seem natural to people who grew up speaking English (or indeed several Germanic or romance la guages) it's far from universal.

  • Having lived in Japan for a decade, I feel dirty whenever I don't use a washlet. Plenty of places in Japan still don't have them, though. A lot of places still have squat toilets, even, especially the more rural you get. Where I last lived in Tokyo, the park by my house had squat toilets (and a urinal that was basically just kinda out there which was a little surprising but not uncommon at smaller Japanese parks).

    That reminds me; I need to buy a portable washlet since I'll be traveling.

  • I'm a fan of ISO-8601 which is YYYY-MM-DD. When context is known, dropping the year on something is fine (i.e. if I post a schedule saying 'summer 2025 schedule', I don't need to start every date on it with 2025). Japanese does this as well (and I think Chinese and Korean, but someone is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong there).

    If the year and month are already known, just using the day is fine as well (a calendar doesn't write the full date in every square). Having it in that order makes sense to me.

    MM-DD-YYYY is right out, though, so I only agree with the 'muricans on the MM-DD part.

  • Hawk Nearly Killed!

  • If I kept chickens, I would have a net over (we have hawks and other aerial predators as well) to avoid the situation, but if something somehow snuck in, this would be a good thing in my opinion.

  • I tried to daily drive Linux. Updated mint and I had to manually fix stuff to even complete the upgrade. My video editing software, required for one of my jobs, no longer worked. At that point, I ran out of time to mess with it and am, at least for the time being, back on windows
