      1. I love garlic stuffed olives, but have to eat them with chopsticks to slow myself down.

      2. My dogs love Pupperonis (one letter away from pepperoni), but I call them puppereenies so they don’t go ape shit when discussing toppings…

      1. You’re getting paid for your commute time now. Your employer is covering tolls, transit passes etc.

      I wonder how fast they would start allowing work from home again.

        Not that fast really. It’s pretty common in europe if you can ride a train and work en route. I’ve even seen people compensated for driving time & gas.

    TV series now have 25 episodes a season.

    Five season minimum.

    All TV series are released on physical disc after one year (the creator of the show can choose a smaller amount of time if they want, but never longer). After one year it MUST BE on disc.

    Blu-ray Disc at a minimum. Can choose 4k if the creator of the show wants. Can do both.

    Federal penalties if the show is cancelled early.

    Next

    All devices that require an always on connection, must have a patch to allow the device to work if the server is ever pulled offline.

    Subscription based services must provide an actual benefit. Not a “well the company wants more money so they’re just going to create a subscription service”… looking at the companies that make heated steering wheels in cars subscription based.

      Fuck no. That’s how you get pointless fucking padding episodes halfway through the season where the plot and the characters just spin their wheels and nothing meaningful happens.

      But, obviously what I mean by that is that your way is the right way.

        No offense meant, but I’m actually confused by your response.

        Are you saying that my way is the right way or my way is not the right way?

        Just as an example, the TV series, Stargate SG one we had a fan favorite episode called window of opportunity. The creator of the TV series said in today’s society there’s zero chance we could ever have that episode and yet that is literally the fan favorite of the series. Window of opportunity was basically the Groundhog Day episode. Those are the Sorts of episodes that literally would not exist anymore. While you disagree and you think that we shouldn’t have those sorts of episodes and we shouldn’t “filler episodes “ I’m on the opposite side.

        Although I may have misunderstood your response and maybe you meant that my way is the right way again like I said I’m a little confused.

          Different people like different things and that’s a good thing!

          I like short, tightly plotted series that have a story to tell, that tell the story, and then end. 6-8 episodes is about right. What really turned me off to longer series was a combination of 24 (there’s a fistful of episodes in the middle where Bauer’s wife or daughter - I forget which - gets kidnapped, escapes, has amnesia, gets kidnapped again, turns into a goose… I don’t remember all the pointless timewasting filler details) and Lost (it became increasingly obvious that they hadn’t actually written the whole story, didn’t know what the fuck was going on, same as the rest of us, and were just making shit up as they went along).

          The last line of my comment was me remembering the premise of this thread :)

        For me it was because I was living in an apartment where the heat register was directly beneath the toilet paper dispenser, and so in wintertime when the furnace was running, if the TP was over it would flap around like one of the wacky inflatable tube guys you see at car dealerships. I started putting it under at that point and the habit just stuck.

        But yeah, cats is absolutely the most common reason. Toddlers as well…dumb ones anyway. The smart ones figure it out regardless.

    I’m right-handed when using one handed tools and “left-handed” when using two handed tools like axes and shovels. The hand closer to the tool bit (the left hand in my case) is only there to provide support and slide around as the other hand controls the orientation and motion of the tool.

    I declare my way is truly right-handed while these right-hand-in-front-of-the-left-handers are just ambidextrous pretenders

    Petty and minor, huh?

    • Dates are now YYYY-MM-DD (2025-02-25) for the short form, and dddd, YYYY mmmm DD (Tuesday, 2025 February 25) for the long form.

    • Time is now written in 24-hour notation (14:44:41)

    • The first paragraph in a section doesn’t have indentation, but all succeeding paragraphs do. For example:

      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.  Vestibulum quis velit aliquet, accumsan eros id, tincidunt lorem.  Integer ac arcu elit.  Sed efficitur mi vitae viverra egestas.  Quisque sed varius nisi.  Vestibulum in cursus diam.  Ut pharetra quis nibh at semper.  Integer dictum leo eu velit condimentum, a varius mi tempor.  Sed at nunc lacinia, consequat eros sed, fringilla quam.  Proin pulvinar ante ac ipsum suscipit dictum.  In libero augue, tristique iaculis libero in, bibendum eleifend massa.  Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.  Suspendisse a risus non lacus pellentesque molestie congue non risus.  Quisque ut condimentum dui.

    Aenean dictum leo at commodo accumsan.  Vestibulum ullamcorper diam et arcu bibendum maximus.  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.  Suspendisse porta libero sed nisi aliquam volutpat.  Nam rutrum, odio quis ultricies blandit, elit metus pulvinar diam, non condimentum tellus arcu sed eros.  Praesent nunc tellus, aliquam vitae leo sed, pellentesque placerat ex.  Aenean tincidunt libero magna, sed sagittis neque facilisis id.  Vivamus quis lectus nunc.

    Donec lacinia, dolor sed eleifend volutpat, massa dui elementum risus, congue sagittis tortor sem sed neque.  Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.  Pellentesque tempor risus arcu, a dapibus risus tristique in.  Ut sapien est, placerat ac lectus non, scelerisque feugiat nisi.  Nam nec luctus nibh.  Aenean id ultrices risus.  Phasellus magna enim, sodales sit amet nisi id, interdum interdum neque.  Sed scelerisque scelerisque lobortis.

    • There are two spaces after a full stop, except when occurring at the end of a paragraph where there should be none.

    • They will be used as a generic non-gendered pronoun and will be the default along with one. For example:

      • “Someone sent me an e-mail, but I am not sure they meant to send it to me.”
      • “Really, one should make sure the e-mail address is correct before sending an e-mail.”

    • Functions that are called in other functions will be declared before any function that calls them.

    • Functions should be around twenty lines long, and at most have three levels of nesting. Functions that are too long or have too much nesting should be revised and broken up into two or more functions.

    • Code indentation (tabs) should be set to four spaces.

    • Code will be formatted as follows.

      function (params) {
    // code
    }

    EDIT:

    Formatting

      I’m not with indenting paragraphs. And functions should be PascalCase with braces on new lines. Long parameter lists are indented as below and parameters and other variables are camelCase.

      public int MyFunction(int paramOne,
                                         int paramTwo)
{
    return paramOne + paramTwo;
}

      Otherwise a good list

      Braces (and almost anything that is indented) should always end at the same column they start lest I feel like I’m physically off-balance and uneasy. First paragraph should be indented because it’s a paragraph and they’re indented. Otherwise, I agree.
