I’m happy to wish a few people a short, nasty death real soon. Limbaugh was on my better off dead list, and I’m glad it was (complications of) a self inflicted lung cancer (COVID?)
Nor did I. Wikipedia says complications of lung cancer from his lifetime of smoking
I suspect the complication was inability to breathe
“that’s a shame, you should have considered it when you last downsized the workforce. I’ll be back in a month”
Most animals don’t have clothes to take off and don’t fuck at sleep time
Humans are odd, and I think our sleeping after sex is just that we’ve structured society to leave the best time for sex late
I never slept right after sex as a youth as the end of the educational day and when my parents would get home left only daylight hours with sufficiency privacy
On the other hand everyone says “acronym” even when they know the word “initialism” so I’m not entirely sure you’re really completely correct
Which standard does Canada use?
A logging truck is probably safe to follow, an 8m log isn’t going to slide off the stack
Consider them crew
Indeed, however the Americans stand out in the anglosphere
They said 1st as an abbreviation of first (it’s a normal abbreviation 1st, 2nd, 3rd … 7th abbreviate first, second, third … seventh)
If you want to be both wrong and confusing
If you want to use correct English and be clear don’t use ordinals: Say “index 0, index 1” etc
Save ordinals for contexts without indices: the first time through this loop, the last record"
Calling index zero the first is correct, but risks misunderstandings such as in the op comic
That is why many call index zero the zeroth index
First and 1st are certainly different symbols for the same concept
The spelling for the index before the first is zeroth, no need to insert an extra vowel
Americans also index their building floors from 1
A two storey American building has floors 1 and 2, where elsewhere they might be ground (zero) and 1.
Blame the restaurant for having a table identified as zero
Good luck standardizing English
0th (only first gets the -st ending; only second gets its end)
Last I checked the only fully open stuff is one manufacturer’s IBM power 9 workstation and several Chromebooks
Is it better in embedded stuff? Last openWRT device I ran needed a closed binary for network
