Tbh, the last sentence was just a silly jab at the imperial units.

I was mostly just making fun of the fact that you implied the Fibonacci sequence can be memorized, when it is infinite. I'm not saying that referring to it is simpler than dividing/multiplying by a constant, no.

"Remember"? Do you also remember all the digits of π?

It's defined as F(0) = 0, F(1) = 1 and F(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n - 2). Which makes more sense than imperial units.

Am I in the minority if I inspect both the port and the plug before trying to plug a USB-A device in? Why frustrate yourself by attempting to plug it in blind?

TIL, I've never seen that spelling before.

Hallowe'en

These apostrophes are out of control.

This but I prefer using a dedicated brush. Call me paranoid but what if an old toothbrush has bits of food stuck in it, wouldn't want that to get into the phone.

Not sure why you're downvoted.

Operating systems often cache disk writes and flush them to underlying devices once in a while. Dismounting (or "ejecting" in Windows terms) forces the writes to be flushed.

See man 2 fsync.

Isn't "birth" defined as the process of being, quoting you, "flopped out of mother's meat curtains"?

Pray tell, what kind of context changes the meaning of "thinks"?

If it makes you feel better, grammatical genders in Norwegian are arbitrary too. There are no rules or tricks to help you figure out if a noun is masculine, feminine or neuter. :S
