[Red Squirrel]

Don't they test these things in cold weather? This should have been caught in QA!

[Crono]

Oh, Canada.

 

[mxnerd]

There must be other defects not discovered. No wonder Galactic Empire always lose to Jedi Order.

 

[sdifox]

Houston ice is different than Canadian ice.

 

[BoomerD]

Houston ice is different than Canadian ice.

Well yeah...Houston gets that super-slippery southern ice...

You forgot APR and taxes and shit.

 

[highland145]

You forgot APR and taxes and shit.

Only poor people pay taxes.

 

[John Connor]

Not according to corporate inversion and a god awful 35% tax which will come down to 15% by the fall. Unless the idiots F that up too.

And what with the canadians backwards dates?

 

[John Connor]

Everything in Canada is ass backwards. Did you know they sell milk in bags? Da fuq?

Yea when I lived in Thailand we use to get Danish milk in bags at the PX.

If you think about it, it's kind of weird that milk comes in little paper boxes. At least bags are closer in design to the natural packaging.

yyyy-mm-dd has zero confusion.

Uses a lot less plastic than plastic jugs.

 

[nakedfrog]

yyyy-mm-dd has zero confusion.

I'm not even Canadian and I agree that it's a superior format.

 

[Kaido]

yyyy-mm-dd has zero confusion.

5-MAY-2017. That's how I roll

How will this proposed change in tax law benefit you?

 

[IronWing]

5-MAY-2017. That's how I roll

Now sort by date.

 

[Kaido]

Now sort by date.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Oh I guess they don't keep those pages up, I should have taken a screenshot. It was a recall about the Starwars AT-AT.

As far as dates, IMO I hate any format that uses 3 sets of numbers, because every place does it differently and there's no consistency so you don't know what's month and what's day and in some case what's year. I tend to do mon-dd-yyyy myself where mon is the 3 letters. Though that does indeed pose an issue with sorting so that's a valid concern. If sorting is an issue I might actually do 01.jan, 02.feb etc. If I do use numerical format I do YYYY-MM-DD though.

If the world could decide on a single numerical format to use, and use it 100% consistently it would not be so bad. YYYY-MM-DD would make the most sense.

 

[Crono]

I think DD-MM-YYYY makes the most sense for day to day use, at least for writing systems that read left-to-right. The most useful piece of information (assuming you are more likely to remember what year it is ) is listed first.
