It's a language essential! Dick, willy, cock, penis, shaft, manhood, todger, pole, ...

I feel that 'gender' is probably a misleading term for the languages that have 'grammatical gender', it rarely has anything to do with genitalia. 'Noun class', where adjectives have to decline to agree with the class would fit better in most cases.

English essentially does not have decline adjectives, except for historical outliers like blond/e where no-one much cares if you don't bother, and uses his / hers / its / erc using a very predictable rule. So no 'grammatical gender'.

Annoys me that "less" is always correct, which makes "fewer" completely redundant, and yet it's a short word that could be valuable in conversation if opened up and reused for something everyday that has a long name.

"Before I leave the house, I always check that I've got my keys, phone, and fure in my pockets."

Possible. This bad boy makes up 5% of the UK power supply by itself:

For the love of God, Montresor!

Have they thought about what were doing when they saw them last, retraced their steps? I find that helps when I lose my keys. Always in the last place you look.

Ah, I thought that the Wendigo was posting about its love of the outdoors on its blog. The internet has ruined me. I suppose it would end up a bit hungry if it was that far from its neighbours.

Dang. It's going to take a dedicated regime to fill up a one gallon jar with, eh, fluids.

Yeah, but from the two billion tonnes a year of steel that's produced, about five percent is carbon added to iron, and about half of that remains in the final product, so that's about fifty million tonnes released to atmosphere. Whereas about three and a half billion tonnes of coal was burned for power, and that all ends up in the air. A seventy-fold reduction is quite significant; means we can selectively close the higher-sulfur-content mines for an even better improvement in air quality.

Ironic, since 2B doesn't have ass on any platform. My anaconda don't want none of that.

Oh yeah. Partying like its 1989 and I've booted up my Amiga. Let's get some unicycling friends in here and do some hacking in 3D.

Nah. Long-tailed owl, is that. Get a lot of them in our garden.

 

Hey gang! Looking for some recommendations on issue tracking software that I can run on Linux. Partly so that I can keep track of my hobby dev projects, partly so that I've got a bit more to talk about in interviews. My current workplace uses Jira, Trello and Asana for various different projects, which, eh, mostly serve their purposes. But I'm not going to be running those at home.

The ArchWiki has Bugzilla, Flyspray, Mantis, Redmine and Trac, for instance. Any of those an improvement over pen and paper? Any of those likely to impress an employer?
