  • Interesting. Here in my parts of the states (like everything, it varies widely across the country) we have elementary school from 1st-5th grade (so like 6-7 up to 10-11), middle school from 6th-8th grade (like 10-11 up to 13-14), and high school from 9th-12th (about 13-14 up to 17-18, and some school districts are big enough to have a “freshman campus” because they needed more space for all the kids).

    And most kids go to kindergarten the year before 1st grade, and some even go to preschool the year before kindergarten as well.




  • Most OSes will let you do it but 2025.01.01.png could have issues compared to 2025-01-01.png. Plus I think it’s a little clearer what the file type actually is.

    Its just a little pedantic thing I’ve picked up after years of being a sysadmin. In my mind slashes (/) are reserved for directory delimitation and the period (.) is to separate the file name from the file type. I also have a little bit longer of a list of “reserved” characters for other reasons (%, #, and {`}`)





  • Its a pretty big assumption that I am not also in that position.

    And not that it matters, but I’ve moved almost every year since I was about 10 years old. Sometimes multiple times a year. And I’m not going to pretend I’m besties with every single person I’ve ever lived next to but it was also beneficial to be a friendly neighbor.

    People are mostly willing to help their friends.





  • That’s only about 180,000km (~112,000 miles) or just under half way to the moon.

    Also some quick googling says an average desktop printer can print about 30,000 pages per month, so it would take 20,000 months (~1670 years) to print that out. And a typical toner cartridge can print 3,000 pages and costs $80, so it would take 200,000 toner cartridges and cost $16 million.

    Now, those aren’t based on any specific model, just the first result in Google haha

    Everyone should be in a state of self-improvement. But sometimes you do need to take a step back and realize that you are orders of magnitude harder on yourself than anyone (that you would want to be around) will be.

    You said your friends and family think you’re fun and enjoy being around you. Do you think your friends and family are actually shitty people just stringing you along for the fun of it? Do you trust them in other aspects?

    I was talking to a friend about this one time and he cut me off and just said “that’s hurtful man. Why would you say that about me?” and that really gave me some insight. Because I was telling myself “my friends are all fake”, but what my friends here is “i dont believe you are there for me”.
