They're almost certainly talking about the TNG episode "Pen Pals" where data makes friends with a little girl whose planet is dying.

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.
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?
I was going to say something snarky too, but this is the only sane take here. Nothing more needs to be said.
Ok, not to many other comments, still though.
Bro, if you didn't want people to respond with genuine takes on what you post and if you're going to be so defensive, why are you even here?
Also, I'm not defending anything. DST should be the standard time because we spend most of the year in it anyway. But that's just my own opinion, which I feel no need to defend to you or anyone else.
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.
