Yup it certainly is. It was removed to prevent water buildup on the roof that would cause leaks.

In the spring I'll address the root cause.

None of those albums would show up on my list of best albums.

They would all show up near the top of the list of shittiest albums though.

All I'm trying to say here is you can't say any album is objectively good or bad because music taste is subjective.

Everything is always beyond repair to this fuckstick. I think he may just be horrible at everything.

almost all voters are fucking morons.

More accurate.

It probably already is. I recall reading somewhere that cops don't even show up on the top 10 most dangerous jobs.

Step into my parlour, said the spider to the fly.

You gotta keep an eye out for the fnords. Also an "I".

And to address the argument on precision versus descending. I disagree. An instrument counting seconds is more precise than a machine counting minutes, hours, days, weeks, months etc... And that holds true through the chain. The precision is in the unit.

We can debate this all day. And I can't honestly say that I would take either side in a purely semantics argument.

But the wording comes directly from RFC3339 which is, to me, the definitive source for useful date representation.

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt

5.1. Ordering

If date and time components are ordered from least precise to most precise, then a useful property is achieved. Assuming that the time zones of the dates and times are the same (e.g., all in UTC), expressed using the same string (e.g., all "Z" or all "+00:00"), and all times have the same number of fractional second digits, then the date and time strings may be sorted as strings (e.g., using the strcmp() function in C) and a time-ordered sequence will result.

You misunderstand my comment.

I'm saying the digits in a date should be printed in an order dictated by which units give the most precision.

A year is the least precise, a month is the next least, followed by day, hour, minute, second, millisecond.

I don't know why anyone would ever argue against this. Least precise to most precise. Like every other number we use.

(I don't know if this is true for EVERY numerical measure, but I'm sure someone will let me know of one that doesn't)

He said that it was an appropriate response to drive through protesters on a road because he might be late for work. And then doubled down on that being a normal response to being inconvenienced.

Run of the mill conservative energy.

 

Fun stuff.

So obviously I spent half an hour in a generative ai tool.

 
 

This doozy was shot just two days ago. I never thought I'd have a use for it on lemmy!

 

Location: Canada

Background: When I first started wearing glasses the optometrist would just give me a piece of paper that I could take to any shop to get my lenses made. Then they started refusing that paper and insisting I either leave my frames with them for two weeks, or that I buy new frames.

And now it seems like even asking for the script, or the measurements, is 'against policy'.


I recently went in for an eye exam and some new glasses, and the optician said something I have never been told before.

I had asked if they could give me the prescription for my sunglass lenses since they don't deal with the brand that I prefer, and he said that I would have to schedule another appointment at a shop that deals with that brand, because the prescription was not enough, and I would also need the measurements he took.

I asked if I could have those measurements and he said it was against policy.

Is he lying to try to get me to buy new frames from his shop? Or is there something to what he is saying?

Confession - When he walked away I took a picture of the measuring app he had used which seems to show all the measurements.

Would this be useful to another shop? I'm just trying to buy lenses without spending a fortune on yet another frame.

It all feels like a scam.

 

Bonus:

I'm not sure which I prefer.

 

There are four from the most recent batch. But they are never all in one spot. And the parents don't come around much during the summer.
