People in my area (Portland, OR) often say "Fred Meyer's" with an unnecessary possessive.

The grocery store is called Fred Meyer.

I mean we can't pronounce Willamette or even couch right so what do you expect.

Electric car chargers.

This is the direction the industry is going to go. F#kn standardize it already, with a reasonable future-proofing schema that handles various voltages, and puts out what the car specifies.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Music teaching, we should use the Kodรกly method everywhere (where it's applicable)

But if only one thing, the hand signs (solmization) should be standardised by how Kodaly imagined it; a relative solmization system with all the 12 notes.

I just can't understand why everyone is focused on the absolute naming in music, absolute distances etc. when all of this can be easilly done with relative solmization. (and, when you need the absolute names or distances/values, you can just put the whole thing in context by just defining "where's the dรณ" and then you are set.)

Yep. Above a family business, or on an advertizing board along with other adverts. I should be able to not see an advert if I don't want to.

My moral system makes me think you're evil for this.

My moral system is objectively correct therefore if you disagree with me on anything you must be cringe and ontologically evil
