Is kill -11 even allowed?

On the other hand, the OOM killer is worst of all: "kill process or sacrifice child."

It actually makes some sort of weird sense if you can get past the inconsistent labeling. Since it's a daycare, each option is probably an enrollment period, and they are arranged in reverse chronological order. Still weird, but perhaps not as outrageous as it initially appears.

NEMA has called them "plugs" and "receptacles" for decades.

The Danish word for 99 is nioghalvfems, which literally means "nine and half five." Which you could be forgiven for assuming meant 11½. The trick is that a) "half five" actually means 4½, as in half less than five, and b) it's implied that you're supposed to multiply the second part by 20. So the proper math is 9 + (-½ + 5) * 20 = 99.
