Or debian stable, for all the reliability of ubuntu without the drama

Lol, I’ve just fallen back in time to 2015

Yes, on both platforms.

I wrote some open source software and looked into how to make that not happen. It’s not easy on Microsoft, and on Apple it costs more than a $100/year!

This attitude is exactly WHY the US failed to actually convert back in the 70s

interestingly enough, there is an incident where a unit conversion cause a spacecraft to crash.

NASA specifies that companies who work with NASA should use metric units as a part of the contract. Lockheed produced software that output in imperial units and it caused the orbiter to flame out.

Why are you bringing the British into this? What did they do to you?

As an American, anyone who claims the Imperial system is better about anything is lying or stubborn. An argument could be barely made for Fahrenheit and even then it’s not worth it.

I think that I’m the one who doesn’t know now, since this one seems to be correct but almost everyone uses it differently on other sites…

For better or for worse, this is normal. Habits are never really easy to be honest, and they remain easy to break forever. I tried to make a habit out of flossing. I did it for awhile, and it almost felt like a habit I formed anew, but then one day I skipped it and it was all over. Hell I skip brushing my teeth sometimes and I actively have to avoid falling out of that habit too.

I don’t know if that helps or not. But I believe almost everyone feels this way about habit formation. I think you’re just more aware of your choice. Everyone does the activity consciously but most people aren’t really analyzing it in the same way as you describe.

I’m not as familiar with the regional variations of ramen! This looks delicious. Mind sharing what some of the distinctions of it are compared to other tonkotsu-style broths?

I mean, maybe. Can always just join or spin up another instance. It's like the Hydra -- you cut off one server, and two more might pop up in its place. I think this will allow it to reach a nice community equilibrium, where vertical growth might be balanced by horizontal growth.

Could be wishful thinking though.
