This video says it both ways I’ve heard. The white people around me pronounce it like the one with the union jack (heavy emphasis on the B), the Spanish speakers pronounce it more like the version with the American flag background (ironic). Most of the other pronunciation videos I could find seem to be made by AI voices and mangle the pronunciation in a myriad of ways. This other video has an actual person speaking well (I can’t speak to the rest of the content of the video).

I’ve been mocked and had some people outright pretend they don’t understand what I’m saying when I pronounce guanábana correctly.

They shouldn’t be separate in the first place. It’s just bad design that’s prone to failure. And in this case that failure mode is VERY far from failsafe, it’s potentially deadly.

Too bad those “easily accessible manual releases” aren’t the actual door handle and are hidden so well you’d never find them if you were unfamiliar with the vehicle.

Almost as bad as once every 3 days!

Sorry, that’s not what I see.

“Ok Boomer.”

But seriously though. After the proliferation of the printing press, I’m willing to bet, someone made the exact same joke about printed books. And I know that the Boomers’ parents made the same joke about television, and their grandparents made the same joke about radio. And this isn’t even really a Boomer joke, it’s a Gen-X joke. I know because my boomer parents actually made this joke about Gameboys and walk-mans before the Internet (or at least convenient portable Internet) was even really a ubiquitous thing. It’s just that Boomers are living longer and are so damn vocal and numerous that they are STILL making this joke, updated for the modern generation.

What technology will gen-Y and gen-alpha lament about in stale memes?

God what a naive and toxic attitude. This peak toxic troll thinking that has absolutely no place in any useful discourse. With all sincerity, you should really seek help. I really do pity you. This isn’t flattery. I’m not angry. I’m not celebrating you. I don’t care to hurt you. You’re just a sad fool and I hope you find a way to be better.

I’m always amazed how some people have no self awareness. They have no concerns for others. And yet if you acted like they did and it affected them they would be so pissed.

Like the person sneaking photos of people in public to ridicule them anonymously on the Internet?

What’s wrong with taking your shoes off before putting them up on the furniture? Seems the polite thing to do so you don’t get snow or mud or whatever other shit is on your shoes on the seat. It’s not like there is someone else using either of those seats opposite at the moment. Maybe you’re just feeling shame about your foot fetish? It’s okay to have a kink about feet, but non-consenting voyeurism is not okay.

So we’re not getting hand milked by 40 cows while getting figged by 3 cherubs.

YYYY-MM-DD is the only non-mental way to write either.

I was only answering your question about why programming a way to parse those common date formats is problematic.

The date is 12/11/2024. Am I talking about yesterday or a day about a month ago?

That’s probably because Aldi is buying it from several different producers (processors, packagers, or bottlers. Not sure the appropriate title) that apply Aldi’s branding (or whomever) to the package.

Yeah, the touch screen is awful, but just try finding a decent induction range without one and without spending twice as much for the privilege. (It seems that induction ranges are the most popular for this unfortunate design trend.)There’s not really any choices out there. You can lock the screen, which is great for cleaning. Just don’t do that while you’re using the oven or range because it turns everything off and cancels the bake.

I do love everything else about my induction range though. Cold searing stuff is faster and easier to get right. I can bring a pot of water to a rolling boil in about 4 minutes.

This whole idea that they “saved” it is philosophically flawed and deeply problematic from a moral and ecological perspective. Claiming that the mother “abandoned” it demonstrates ignorance of the way these animals live and care for their young.

Regardless, a proper wildlife rehabilitation program by a zoologist would have actually kept the moose alive and been in a position to judge if the moose was safe to be re-released. Your moose story could have easily ended in the death of people in addition to the moose. This isn’t some kind of vain high horse I’m on. It’s just simple facts learned through decades of direct experience with wild animals in the wild, in rehabilitation, and in zoos. I stand by my earlier statements. I’m sorry this bitter pill is hard for you to swallow I guess. So it goes.

Feeding wildlife, even one treated as a “pet”, is a death sentence for them just as surely as if you had fired the gun yourself. Your neighbor killed that moose.

Other prime examples include: feeding alligators (now you’ve created a danger to others as well, so you’ve not just killed the animal, which will need to be destroyed by officials, you’ve potentially maimed or killed a person); feeding ducks and geese (I once has a neighbor that would feed ducks in the parking island adjacent to the main entry to our apartment complex, no surprise to me that we saw many near misses and a few dead ducks in our driveway); bears (this one should be obvious, same scenario as the gators except bears are faster, climb trees, and are probably smarter than the average person they are going to encounter when they leave the woods looking for human food).

Undomesticated animals (wildlife/wild animals) are not pets. They’re never going to be pets. They’ve just learned to manipulate some humans for food or shelter. Maybe you’ll get along for a little while with them, but that relationship has poisoned the fear keeping them safe for and from other humans.

That’s the joke.
