Bought some flagstone and made some steps. Beats the cinder blocks that were there when we moved in!

All numerical dates are stupid, and transfer no proper information, because there is no standard. Jn 5 2020 is impossible to get wrong, and it is exactly the same as 5 jn2020, or 2020jn5, or any other combo.
Oh, January 5, 2020?
Standards only work if we agree what standard we are using. Use UTC to store dates in a computer, and make sure the interface makes it as hard as possible to misinterpret, e.g. label the fields, provide a calendar picker, etc... Written down, all we have is (attempted) consistency. I'm down with months by name, but you've got to use enough letters to make it unambiguous. Two letters isn't enough. If we could rely on people to pick the same two letters every time, we could rely on them to put the month and day in the same order every time. Jan, Jun, Jul mean you can't pick the first two nor the first and third. You could assign them to ja, jn, and jl, but that's unreliable for the aforementioned reasons.
My favorite is that in Javascript, the months are numbered 0-11.

I put it to you that that 914 consists entirely of pine needles bound together with a bit of iron oxide after twenty years under an evergreen. The ferro-flora-fossilization process starts in the hell hole and works outward, I think.

I bought the orange version of the 914 under a tree. It broke in half pulling onto the trailer. Luckily I was able to talk the seller into putting the $300 from the 914 into an f150 for my niece instead.

Pouring fluid (and probably the most customer accessed one at that!) right above the PCM. What could go wrong?
