I remember this episode of Parks and Recreation

I played this on Android. It was a lot of fun.

It’s a really poorly written article. The FOX 55 article they link is definitely better written.

This article starts by saying it’s a “local Indianapolis grocery store” and then says it’s in Fort Wayne. If a Fort Wayne grocery store counts as Indianapolis then every grocery store in the entire state must count as an Indianapolis grocery store.

Do you have a source for that? As far as I can tell he supported decriminalization and allowing individual states to legalize but I don’t see any sources where he supported full legalization.

Any commercial entity that knowingly shares or distributes material that is harmful to minors on a website and such material appears on 25% or more of the webpages viewed on such website in any calendar month

(emphasis mine)

They can host as many non-porn videos as they want but it doesn’t matter if people aren’t watching those videos. For every webpage with porn, they’d have to force the user to visit three webpages without porn first.

It’s contextual. If it’s used in a phone number, it’s a pound sign. If it’s placed before a number, it’s a number sign. If it’s placed before a tag, it’s a hash/hashmark/hashtag.

No one would pronounce “#foo” as “pound foo” any more than they’d call a #2 pencil a “pound two pencil”. Because “pound” is clearly not the right name in either context.

Americans have been comfortable using different names for the symbol in different contexts since long before hashtags even existed. So when websites started using them and referred to them as “hashtags”, that was fine. It was a new context so it could use whichever name it wanted. (Well, “octothorpe-tag” is probably far too unwieldy to catch on.)

Of course if we’re talking about the symbol without a specific context, then we have to pick one of the names. For most Americans, that “default” name is probably still “pound”. Twenty years ago I’d definitely say that, but even then it wasn’t ubiquitous. It wasn’t uncommon to hear it referred to as a hash. And it seems like the use of “pound” has declined and the use of hash has increased as people now spend more time online and less time dialing phone numbers. There’s also a generational divide with older people more likely to say “pound” and younger people more likely to say “hash”.

I see. Yeah, the end cursor can take some getting used to.

The thing that always messed me up when starting out was how deleting any text overwrites the clipboard. It was an odd quirk at first but I kind of like it now.

I still constantly wrongfoot copy and paste regularly

What do you mean by this?

People seem to have this view that everyone in the '60s was a hippie but that’s just not true. Time Magazine put the number around 300,000. In a country of 200 million, that’s only 0.15% of the population. They were a counterculture not mainstream culture. The vast majority of kids did not become hippies, and many actively hated the hippies.

Are you implying that my math professors do not think math and logic are important just because they used ≠ instead of !=?

My current favorite is Slice & Dice

No, The Pirate Bay didn’t exist until 2003

Then what kind should I use instead?

When YouTube disables monetization they stop running any ads on the channel. Other articles like this one are clearer on that matter.

What do you use instead?
