This is why they are mostly sold with a bitterant outer coating. It should be pretty gross to just hold a recently purchased coil cell battery in your mouth these days.

A small percentage of hyper inflated prices over a large consumer base still equates to MASSIVE profits. It is a fundamental ethical flaw that we even allow for-profit medicine that is compounded by obvious cartel organization structures and corruption.

I’m very pro real books and as a result was hesitant to jump on the ebook bandwagon. That all changed after finishing a particularly large book early during a long trip, lugging those damn dead trees around the country for a while and unable to find anything worthwile to read in along the way. Now with my ebook any book and every book on my “to read” list taking up the same space, same weight, and I don’t worry about damaging them because the ebook is waterproof with a rugged cover.

I still buy hard to find and out of print books at used book stores, but those stay home and get gifted to special people when I’m done.

So you’re looking for validation, not an honest discussion. This whole thing just got more weird. You’re weird.

It’s shorter than saying zero and it’s only ever used where context makes the it obviously not the letter. Also, almost all of the other digits are single syllables too. Seven is arguably (I’m no linguist) the only other multi-syllable digit and I think it gets a pass because it’s barely more than a single syllable unless you emphasize it.

I don’t understand banning sex toys from supermarkets. Every supermarket has sex toys. To say they don’t is just naivety. Banning masturbation aids from stores that aren’t adults only is only a ban on safe toys. Easy and shame free access to safe toys and prophylactics is a matter of public safety and harm reduction. Restricting those things by law to adults only stores, online, and private parties is cruel and causes harm. The Texas law isn’t much different, just dipping a toe in the waters of harmful oppression.

Sex toys and their packaging aren’t always inherently obscene or explicit. Y’all can stop clutching your pearls, the kids will be alright.

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.
