…So if you use your hands to put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding, you won’t get an ambulance?

I place them in the same order the table should be made (clockwise order): forks, spoons, knives.
Moving the spoons one step sounds reasonable I guess but I’d never switch places of the forks and the knives. If the order was knives, forks I’d have to switch hands to grab them and that thought bothers me more than I thought it would. TIL this is a pet peeve of mine
The ones that affected my life the most are probably Chuck Palahniuk’s books. I read them as a teenager.

In Eternity, you just go to Settings -> Post Filter.
And even worse, using personal pronouns exclusively in subject form, e.g. “till han” (“to he”) instead of in object form where suitable, e.g. “till honom” (“to him”).
Learning some functional programming. It really influenced the way I think about code and make coding decisions.
“R.:” looks like an abbreviated form of “Reply:”/“Response:” but since “History” isn’t abbreviated it just looks like a typo to me.
In Emacs, you are the IDE
That’s really nice to hear, I’m glad you liked it!
I switched to Linux when the “We’ve scheduled your free update to Windows 10!”-like popup started appearing again and again on my Win7 machine even though I disabled it. I didn’t like not having a choice and they only got worse from there. Meanwhile, you have full control over every part of a Linux system. You can even uninstall the update manager if you feel like it.
More like “My computer came with malware and I’m starting to realise that’s what it is” in most cases.
Yeah, I’m very happy with it and it’s usually recommended as a good starter pen, along with the Pilot Metropolitan for those who want a metal body and/or a more traditional look. Check that one out too if you’re interested!
So you use a really nice keyboard, right? …Right?
It’s not a stupid question!
First of all, it’s a fountain pen, which means its nib construction and method of delivering ink is completely different from ballpoint pens: a fountain pen pushes liquid ink down the nib slit through capillary action. See close up here. The ink flows smoothly and you don’t need to push against the paper when writing. Most fountain pens are refillable and you can choose any ink colour you like.
A regular ballpoint pen has a small ball, held in place inside the casing by a tiny spring, and typically uses thick, oily inks. See close up here. The ink is delivered through friction (ball vs paper), which means you have to push harder against the paper when writing. It can lead to fatigue during long writing/sketching sessions.
Now, there are “ballpoint-like” pens that take liquid ink, called rollerball pens. See close up here. They’re usually a good option if you want a smoother writing experience and more ink options than your standard ballpoint offers. With roller balls though, I’ve had the issue where the ball casing wears down and the spring shoots out the ball like a projectile, spewing ink everywhere … I find that the fountain pen nibs are more durable if you take good care of them.
As for the Lamy Safari, it comes in all three options but the most common one by far is the fountain pen version.
I don’t see why you shouldn’t use nice pens all the time. My daily driver is a Lamy Safari and I love it.
Yes. That is the point.
Yeah, COBOL schools and boot camps have started to pop up
