That was a joke, and so was the previous sentence (a reference to the birdsarentreal conspiracy. Seriously, how do comms towers harm birds?

Edit: collisions with tall AM towers' guy wires

What's up with comms towers? High-voltage AM antennas are not that abundant anymore. Are birds getting cooked close to high-power transmitters? Shot to avoid interference with crucial military infrastructure? Is 5G real?

It is real if it turns counterclockwise. If not, you have to load the DVDs upside down.

They are, to the best of Microsoft security professionals' abilities

Just kidding, the devs are probably using ExplorerPatcher themselves and are sabotaging this asshole move

Unfortunately, blaming the devs seems to be a recurring problem. I remember seeing this in a YouTube comment thread (paraphrased):

why can't i insert a bible reference without it becoming blue? i write proverbs 14:23 and youtube turns it into a damn timestamp. f-cking lazy developers, they removed dislikes, now keep preventing adblock and cannot detect a simple quote??

I replied with something like:

Hey, stop blaming the devs. It was not their decision to make the unpopular changes, and making a system for detecting if a comment is referring to a book with chapter:verse syntax (not just the bible, and all their versions & translations) is not something they would pay for. For the record, you can refer to Proverbs 14:​23 or any other verse without making it a link. I can show you how but first repent and apologize for undervaluing people's hard work.

(Yes, there's just a ZWSP after the colon. It can be mapped to a key combo if one uses it often.) He did not answer but maybe didn't see my reply buried way underneath – it was YouTube comments, after all. Legend says that bible references in his video description keep messing up his worship chapters.

Cool but that would require some cultural awareness, and the reporters cannot be bothered.

Yeah, SCSV would work, with a .ssv file extension for FAT compatibility.

JSON is overkill, tabular data is often recorded by 8-bit devices. Yes, you can use a dishwasher to cook salmon, but building a dishwasher is difficult and it can break in many more places. Each piece of salmon also needs to be carefully wrapped.

This one is terrible because it's like a montage of a penguin colony over a generic historic painting of a port city. Very little creativity and quality control. I'd just combine some actual photo of the Kiel port and penguins jumping out of water. (Not necessarily these two)

Commas are too common, we should go with semicolons. And \n and UTF-8 by default. And a header that defines changes from defaults, plus metadata such as data logger model and settings. These are some significant quality-of-life improvements but I'd guess it will take another file extension before that happens.

No, it just seems too ridiculous to be true. Read this community's sidebar.
