    That’s pretty cool. However, no human has ever won by more than 15min, and every horse has a 15min delay built into their times. So even the biggest winning margin of nearly 11 minutes would have lost to the horse if they had started at the same time.









  • It was a bad day for America when schools stopped teaching home ec. We once had a friend live with us for a couple months who cooked eggs in a Saucier (sauce pan) full of oil. She kept the pan on the stove and every morning she would reheat the oil and essentially poach 2 eggs in a half a gallon of oil.





  • Gift cards are for people who you are obligated to buy something for, but don’t really like enough to put in any effort. They are a way of telling people, “I like this company more than I like you. I could have just given you money, but I couldn’t be bothered to shop for you, but I really wanted to make sure that any money I had to spend on you went to this company.”
    If you don’t believe me, why would they just give you a universal gift card? Did you know that they have been making them right here in the USA for a couple hundred years now? They even have decorative pictures of us presidents on them. And they are not just good in the US, you will find that they are taken most places on the planet.




  • Dude, there are at least 4 different “for” loop syntaxes in Js/Ts alone:

    for (let num = 1; num <= 5; num++) {}.

    for (const num of numbers) {}.

    for (const num in numbers) {}.

    this.numbers].forEach(num => {});

    Also don’t forget ngFor and @for in html, and then the @for in sass/scss.

    That’s 7 different for loops and I haven’t included the non-for loops, or even left Angular.

    Once we include some scripting like I did just this week:

    bash: for i in {1…5}: do … done

    dos: for /L %%i in (1,1,5) do ()

    Then you can just stfu if I feel the need to remind myself of the exact syntax for one of the 3 or 4 different for loop options in c#.
