It comes down to the variable weather in the US versus the UK.

The UK has maybe handful of weeks of actual hot weather, months and months of rain, and then some weeks of bitter cold. The day is more important than the month who cares if it’s March or September? It’s another day of rain and grey.

The US has extreme weather changes across the year, especially in the northeast where differences in US and UK English first began to diverge, intentionally and unintentionally. In a state like Massachusetts, knowing the month is important for things like setting the scene in letters “home” and so forth. The summer months and grossly hot. The fall/autumn is full of brilliant colors and mild weather followed by months of bitter, unrelenting cold winter. The spring months yield to green and mild weather again. Knowing that the month is April is very important because the 4th of April is going to be incredibly different from the 4th of September.

They have almost no content library these days. I’m actually surprised that it is as high as it is.

She gave me the speech about the heartache of ever having to bury her only child…

No mention of sardines, though. 👍

Your Minecraft posts got me thinking about getting back into again on PC. What version are we on these days?

I sent this to my mother captioned as “Other parents acting as crazy as you” and then received a my own text lecture about health and eating properly.

Naturally. Mom and Pops aren’t creating value for the shareholders, so they just got to go.

They don’t have to raise prices. They are choosing to raise prices, and let’s be honest here, I doubt that they really needed a reason to raise prices at all. These retailers were just waiting for the opportunity.

And…I’d love to see how quickly these same retailers drop their prices when these tariffs are lifted.

It’s for research!

We’re only nerds if we come out of the Silicon Valley region of California. Otherwise, we are just sparkling geeks.
