JavaScript short date-time format:

• United States: Tue, 02/18/2025, 1:58 AM EST
• Canada: Tue, 2025-02-18, 1:58 a.m. EST

Without a doubt, the Canadian short date looks cleaner and more visually appealing, and the “a.m.” (or “p.m.”) style has a classic touch. However, it’s four characters long. Also, in the long date-time format, the word “at” appears between the date and time, whereas in the short version, it’s simply replaced by a comma. I dislike seeing more than one comma in a timestamp, so on this site, what you actually see is a hybrid version: Tue, 2025-02-18 @ 1:58 AM EST.

Hey Wikipedia, looks like we need some references here. At least my mom doesn’t call her that — she doesn’t even know her.

Puts me in mind of Slint

People: Life couldn’t be more unfair.
Alfonso Shimbel: Hold my beer.

Each of us dies twice — once when life leaves us, and once when we fade from the memories of others

Me: Hey Siri, cancel this trip.

Siri: There’s nothing called “Trip” on your calendar.

Me: Cancel this current trip on Google Maps.

Siri: You’re not navigating in Apple Maps at the moment.

Me: Exit this trip.
Siri: Sorry, I don’t understand.

What defines beauty? Transience and serendipity. 
Ephemeral enough to cherish, unexpected enough to amaze.

A generous heart must set its bounds,
For those who take know none.
Like rivers drained by endless thirst,
They leave the well undone.

Places like Value Village always leave me with mixed emotions. As soon as I walk in, I feel a rush of excitement. There’s an eclectic assortment of items, many of them surprisingly decent and offered at affordable prices. But in the end, I always feel a bit sentimental. These items were likely cherished by their original owners at one time, only to end up being sold for next to nothing. It’s bittersweet — and in a way, it feels like a reflection of human relationships.

The Audio-Technica M50xBT2 now supports Dolby Atmos. And more importantly, it doesn’t sound bad at all.

I’m wondering when they rolled out this feature as their official website doesn’t have any information about this update. I’m pretty sure Dolby Atmos was not available on these headphones last year.

During the chaos of my parents’ divorce (when I was around 11), my uncles on my mother’s side (or maybe my grandmother—I can’t quite remember, but it doesn’t really matter since they shared the same values) offered to take me to a theme park out of town. But shortly after, they had a change of … read more

It cracks me up when Google Maps pronounces “Family Dr” as “family doctor.”

I wonder if there is a way for these music streaming platforms to prevent what I call “namespace pollution.” This term refers to different artists sharing the same name and being grouped together on a single artist page, especially when they are mononymous or have very common names. It’s really frustrating because, despite having the same name, these artists often create music in completely different genres and languages!

Anders Celsius, the proposer of the degree Celsius, died at the age of 42.

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit would have believed his opponent had died at 107.

Once I bought a frosted glass for $12 at IKEA. It was beautiful but a bit too big and didn’t have a handle. If I drank water from it before a meal I’d feel too full to eat. Just way too big. Weeks later I got an IKEA flyer and saw it’d been reduced to $7 and advertised as a vase.

If a developer has to respond to customer reviews like this, you may want to use your discretion in purchasing / downloading / using any of their apps.

As of today, two orcas have been linked to the deaths of four individuals: a Canadian woman, an American woman, an American man, and a Spanish man.

Orca attacks are a First World problem.

A youth squandered on empty praise, borrowed warmth, and momentary highs is like a dress hanging high on the boutique wall — worn by dozens, touched by hundreds, yet never truly claimed or wanted, left to fade beneath the passing years

Waiting is standing by the door at midnight, the porch light trembling in the hush of the night, knowing that if footsteps ever break the silence, they may not belong to the one you long for
