Windows 8 to Windows 10, and Windows 10 to Windows 11 didn't have the exact same workflows either. That's a big part of the reason many people that had compatible hardware didn't upgrade to 11 when given the chance. I think we need to stop trying to cater to expectations of things working exactly the same and instead educate on "things are going to change, but you can be in control of how they change".

I don't know if you're trying to make it sound bad, but calling milk "titty juice" makes it sound better. I don't like milk, but titty juice makes it sound refreshing.

I just refresh the page and it works fine

That's just on Indiana Jones and bad optimization. There are still plenty of other, newer games that should run perfectly fine. Of course the big, chunky games that are marketed as "Look at how graphically intense this is! Look at the ray tracing!" are going to run poorly.

Though I will absolutely agree that a lot of studios are throwing optimization out the window when developing new games, just relying on the latest hardware to power through it.

Sure, but the $ is signifying the following numbers refer to money. And people can write it differently than they say it. I will say "June 1st" much, much more often than "the 1st of June", but I will also almost always write it "01 June ".

But the reason it is much more common in the USA to write dates as "June 1, " is because that is how it is often spoken here. That doesn't need to be consistent across other speech and writing patterns, it's just how it developed. Probably goes back to the printing press like a lot of the other oddities in writing here...

Doesn't that only work as a sticky note if you normally only have a few tabs anyway, though? I understand it in principle, the tab is visually right there, but in practice it's the same as putting all the mail in an unsorted stack that you'll totally go through later.

Is there a country, West or otherwise, that reads English a different way? Since it's written in English.

"It's good quality, it won't break" And some customers take that as a personal challenge, and that's why there is a warranty

At least the numbers are sequential there, though...

You don't know that the kid hasn't already told the mom about the accident. It's not like she can come pick the kid up, it was her car that was crashed. Relying on a parent and asking them for help in a time of need doesn't mean the kid isn't also going to take responsibility. But the parent saying that fishing is more important is absolutely ludicrous. Sure, maybe the dad is too far away to be able to help at the moment, but he said he's too busy to even talk (yet not busy enough to prevent sending those texts).

Dorkness Rising is their second movie, and it makes a lot of references and throwbacks to the first.
