I just got invited to a meeting for a time zone that doesn’t exist this time of year. In the US EST does not stand for Eastern time, it stands for Eastern Standard Time (~November-~March), EST is not an active time zone, it is EDT Eastern Daylight Time. Its a pointless thing, most people probably don’t notice, but its wrong.

Fake internet points to anyone who knows why DB-9 bothers me.

Edit: corrected a missing n in an eastern

    When you have a dispenser (liquid soap, sanitizer gel, shampoo, etc.) and it’s almost empty, so the damn bottle gets knocked over from the slightest nudge. Makes me so irrationally mad.

      My partner leaves his drink bottle near the sink, empty or mostly empty.

      I accidentally knock that fucker over at least twice a day. I move it to a different part of the kitchen where it’s very unlikely to get accidentally knocked, he knows the spot so it’s not like I’ve hidden it or inconvenienced him.

      But he puts it back next to the fucking sink and I knock it over and it makes so much fucking noise and scares the dog and I have to stop what I’m doing to go pick it up, just in case it does have a bit of water in it and creates a slip hazard, and it’s going to be the reason I suffocate him in his sleep.

      For a bit the stuff inside will keep the COG low enough that its somewhat stable, but at some point it just stops being worth it. It also seems to last forever.
