I’m more offended to be in Heaven in the first place. I mean, all the nutjobs were right after all? And only those nutjobs in my particular area of the world?

Firefox still has no month or week inputs. These things have been standardized 10 years ago and implemented in Chrome as of version 20.

What’s the problem with excessive citations? Citing only a single publication to prove a fact is shaky scientifically. Multiple citations are more robust in case of a dead link or if a book goes out of print or a particular version of it has the reference and others don’t.

If you’re bothered by seeing excessive citations, then the solution is to hide them, e.g. [12] (+12), and expand them on demand.

Recently I saw a meme or post or tweet that I can’t find anymore. The gist was: In the 2000s, search engines were arcane tools which could only be used competently by few select people. Nowadays this has changed. Not because people have gotten smarter, but because search engines were dumbed down so much that it’s not possible to use them competently anymore.

Now that you ask…

Instead of giving people free food and housing in prisons, I imagine mandatory work sentences for minor offences. Littering? 1 year of mandatory work. Why it’s black people disproportionately getting work time? I don’t know… must be in their genes or something.

The sad thing is, there are people who wholeheartedly agree with that reasoning…

Engineers now: We built an airport, 9 years behind schedule and at 233% the cost.

We are rebuilding a train station at (currently) 366% the planned cost and an estimated delivery time of 200% the original estimate, into rock that might swell when in contact with water and heave the station out of the ground, in order to decrease the station’s capacity by 17%
