Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral
A very early morning, but that’s ok. I should be home by 1:30pm (13:30 for some of if you) so it’s worth it.
This will be the end of this Mood Indigo stretch. I think my nose did get better overall at learning what to smell, but it’s still a light (but good) scent.
I was trying to appease our more, shall we say, “European”, users. I believe they use the colon, but I’m often wrong about these things.
I’ve never heard of EBNF and after a quick search I don’t think I have any interest in learning! I only know the “++” from other shavers, and learned years after the fact that it was some sort of programming nomenclature.
EBNF is some heady shit, I don’t blame you for having no interest in learning it. It does allow you to describe syntax with a level of precision that’s quite impressive though. It’s satisfying in a very nerdy kind of way.
It does appeal to me, as I’ve always had an interest in being able to use computers to their fullest potential, but I’ve also always been bad a learning new languages.
As a European, I hope you in the US use your colon too - how does digestion work otherwise?! /s 😂
Joking aside, you’re exactly right. Except (most parts) of the UK, Europe mostly uses a 24-hour system for our time telling needs. I personally think that’s a bit more intuitive on digital clocks, but even some analog clocks over here reflect this by having their 24h equivalent either above or below the number in the 12h circle. We also seem to have fewer time zones: essentially PorkButtsNTaters666, djundjila and me share the same time zone despite living in different countries.
ENBF sounds about as interesting as a 7 hour long slideshow about the cultivation of potatoes in Prussia, but the “++” stuff stuck around and I don’t mind it at all. I thought it was just something from ProgrammerHumor though, since C++ is a programming language.

You probably know this but 13:30 is the 24-hour clock. 1330 would be Military Time. My New Year’s resolution is to be less of a stickler :)
Mood Indigo++; // (Mood )?Indigo in EBNF (again being the stickler)

Yes, us programming geeks get way too accustomed to communicating in coding shorthand.

++and--are increment and decrement short-hand operators in C-style programming languages.In other words, they either mean add 1 to this value (
++), or subtract 1 from this value (--).Thanks! I think that makes perfect sense.
