I'll never understand why we do month/day/year, unlike everyone else. Makes no sense.

Personally, I do Year-Month-Day because it sorts correctly in a file tree listing.

I don’t understand why we don’t use the metric system. It’s the most logical system of measurement by far.

Saving daily files for a multi-year project, this is the only way to do it.

It is, yeah. America is really dumb at times
Apart from beer, I have a dumb illogical love of my pints and don’t you dare try to steal that extra 68ml out of it...
I think, as much as anything it’s to do with linguistic convention. I’d say 12th August and you’d say August 12th. The recording convention probably followed on from that.
You’d only just seceded, you hadn’t had an opportunity to develop your own way of mangling the language yet

I used to work at a help desk taking calls from physicians conducting clinical trials, and one of my favorite conversations of all time was with a doctor at PRINCETON who called me because our system wanted her to enter a patient's DOB in the format day/month/year, "and I only know the format month/day/year! What do I do now?!"

Two Hands (Vinyl)
Two Hands folds itself gracefully into Big Thief’s impressive discography. This body of work grows deeper and more inspiring with each new album.www.jbhifi.com.au
Looks like they took the page/listing down.

Some people are REALLY good at ONE thing. I know a guy who's a brilliant Program Manager, understands the ins and outs of deploying networks and servers better than most in the business, and I work for Google, so that's saying something. I handed him a pocket knife and he could not figure out the mechanism to open it. It was fascinating.

Some unfortunate souls find even that too aspirational.
I don’t think I’d want to be part of a clinical trial run by someone with that little initiative...

I saw that. It clearly wasn't supposed to be announced or known about yet. Leave it to the corners of the internet to spoil an album roll out!Looks like they took the page/listing down.

I have a dumb question: ¿How many variants of Bad Bunny's X 100PRE are there? I saw VMP's purple variant for $31. Then Amazon and UO have the yellow variant for $25. ¿Are there any other ones announced? Just wanting to make sure that I make a solid investment on these. ¡Thanks for the help!

Fuck. You’ve just broken everything!

The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it!
