TIL a jack is the thingy you plug in, I thought it was the thingy you plug into.

Um, just a normal earphones jack, I think that's 3,5mm? Not RCA and I don't have ethernet ports either 😄

Internet slang isn't always in the dictionary. Like you could have told us to "look it up sweaty" which is 100% correct mematically but definitely not grammatically.

I'll bite... What's the #1 best thing on the internet?

Hi! Nice blog post. Since you asked for feedback I'll point out the one thing I didn't really understand. You explain the difference between the calculators by showing excerpts from the manuals and you highlight that in the first manual, implicit multiplication is prioritised. But the text you underlined only refers to implicit multiplication involving special expressions(?) like pi, e, sqrt or log, and nothing about "regular" implicit multiplication like 2(1+3). So while your photos of the calculator results are great proof that the two models use a different order of operations, to me the manuals were a bit confusing since they did not actually seem to prove your point for the example math problems you are discussing. Or maybe I missed something?

Yes. Worcestershire sauce is pronounced Wooster-shire sauce. So you're right.

Really, we're doing this again after she had a six-year relationship? Poor woman can't win.

Yep, there actually is a free version that's truly free for some people (Free File), but the company behind TurboTax actively hid it. They instead heavily marketed another version of TurboTax (Free Edition) as "free, free, free!", only to tell people who were already halfway through filing that their taxes were "too complicated" and required large payments after all. Horrible tactics and they were fined for it.

A Softer World is brilliant. Love coming across this in the wild ♥️

For those interested, it's by James Burke, from 1978, and it's called Connections. Episodes are on YouTube.
