Neither do I, but the rest of what I wrote does.

The argument is that writing the parts in a consistently increasing or decreasing precision order makes more sense.
So these are good.
- year / month / day
- day / month / year
And this is bad.
- month / day / year

With the caveat that I'm not an expert, that's the pommel (hilt is the entire handle) and it is at the bottom to prevent the sword from slipping out of your hand.

In my experience, the twitter police scanner communities are dominated by racism and general hatred towards cities and city government (excluding police and other rescue).

Maybe this a dumb question, but is the AirTag configured to Notify When Left Behind except when left at your home? I've never heard an AirTag beep before.

I don't think you need to search for a psychological explanation.
I think it is probable that many people think the benefits of Lego far outweigh the benefits of cryptocurrency mining.

Our family has also found this to be true for Catan Junior. It's a great game on its own with quite a lot of replay value, so we end up sometimes playing Catan Junior even though everyone has the ability to play Settlers of Catan.
Re:U.S. Should Open America’s Doors to Hong Kong’s Citizens
on Thursday May 28, 2020 @11:44AM (#23338625)
If anything, my comment was a false analogy, not a straw man.
Your comment was arguably a straw man, however, as it attacked a point which the article did not make (i.e., Hong Kong should not be responsible for itself) instead of any of the actual arguments (which focused on the benefits to the United States: strategic, economic, and political).

Re:Majority of Americans favor wealth tax on very rich: poll
on Friday January 10, 2020 @01:21PM (#22013397)
Your argument implies that a wealth tax has always been favored by a majority of Americans (since by definition a majority of Americans have always been not rich), which I think is not true.
I think the truth is likely that personal wealth is but one of many factors in support for a wealth tax.
