There seems to have been plans for standing airline 'seats' for quite awhile. I'm most definitely in the vast, vast minority here, but I would welcome these. After about an hour and a half into a flight, my knees get so damn sore that I can hardly stand it. I just feel so squished-in in economy seating and there's no room to stretch out your legs or even move them around a bit to find a more comfortable position. And I'm short and scrawny at 5'8", 140lbs. And I'm also fit. Once my knees get sore, all I want to do is stand up. I don't care if it's a 12+ hour flight. I'd rather be in those standing seats than a cramped sitting position.
I've been there and went without reason and zero planning. I was in Ushuaia and, back then at least (15 years ago), the adventure travel expedition ships that weren't booked to capacity would sell spaces for basically cost. I looked into it out of curiosity and the next day was onboard a ship, heading across the Drake Passage to spend 10 days on and around the Antarctic Peninsula. Was absolutely incredible.
In the past I always used to just say "getting interviewed is one of my weaknesses, since I tend to get a bit nervous in them". Really, I don't get nervous in them, but for some reason this answer always seems to make the interview go really well from that point forward.
Okay, I'm a Canuck. Have never seen yyyy-mm-dd used in real life. The only time I've ever seen it is as a timestamp in a database. MySQL (and I think most others) store dates as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS. Which, actually does make the most sense when looked at as a whole.
The other two make sense. We first adopted the popular UK date format, but widely see and use the US one. As for yyyy-mm-dd... maybe we're just getting prepared for the Chinese takeover?
Granted, because of the potential for confusion over mm-dd and dd-mm here, whenever I have the chance I write the date non-numeric. Jun 09, 2015.
I would think quite a lot. Cory posts quite a few stories from Neatorama (with source/link credited). They're certainly similar sites in pertaining to the concept of posts related to random, neat things from the intertubes and IRL. I would think that the same type of reader would find interest in both sites. And I think both sites also have a fairly web-savvy reader base. So through links back and forth, I'm sure a lot of readers of one site have discovered the other.
Then again, maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about.
haha... wow, those cities are better off without you I think. At least you did finally say something positive. Seattle and Dubai are quite nice. Too bad Dubai is an environmental disaster that treats their immigrant labour like ass. But it is clean.
Head to Scandanavia. Clean cities. But people are generally happy and positive, so you might not fit in.

Whoops.. wrong site.
