I don't know about firstest, but he was definitely firster. That's why they call him a founding father, not a founding fathest.

"Nah, your fingernails don't need a trim. If she can't handle your adult man's untrimmed fingernails inside her, she does not deserve to have sex with you."

Hair that's long and overgrown can cause problems just like long fingernails can cause problems. Keeping them trimmed so they don't is just being considerate of your partner.

But that's not what TypeScript does. The joke in the meme doesn't really even make sense.

A better analogy would be you have a basket that's explicitly labeled "Fruit" and TypeScript complains if you try to put laundry detergent in it because you said it's supposed to be a basket of fruit.

This meme was clearly made by someone who doesn't use or understand TypeScript.

I prefer just calling everything I eat the flesh of whatever it came from. Tomato? Flesh. Lettuce? Flesh. People? Flesh.

What if you soak them in high fructose corn syrup first?

Towels honestly dry you off SO much better when they're washed with no fabric softener. It's worth an extra wash to do towels separately

"Howdy" for me. I'm from and live in the Northeast.

Started saying it ironically on work calls to break up the monotony of saying "Hey" when the host joined the meeting and said hello. It was pretty much just a joke at first. Now it's about 50% of what I say in response to someone joining the meeting saying hello.

Honestly, I kind of like it. It's folksy, friendly, simple, and informal. It's slipped out a couple of times when guests arrive at a family party and are walking in the door and saying their hellos, but it's mostly relegated to work meetings.

A few of my coworkers have even started doing it occasionally, so it seems like it's catching on.

Just to reinforce your point, the difference between a cheap running shoe and an expensive running shoe is incredible. When I first started running a few years ago, I was using a very old pair of running shoes I've had for a long time. I've since been sticking with the New Balance Fresh Foam X 880s (because I have very wide feet and NB seems like the only brand that actually makes their best running shoes in 4E) and it's like running on a cloud.

And then there's also the Garmin watch that cost $300 (that I'm now stupidly considering upgrading to the new $600 Forerunner 965), the $120 HRM Pro chest strap, the $3000 Nordic Track x22i for indoor runs I got lightly used on Craigslist for a steal at $900, etc.

And then there's the races where you're spending $40, $50, $100+ depending on whether it's a 5K or 10K or half-marathon. And good running clothes are pricey too.

While I agree with you, and I do dearly love garlic, I feel obligated to give you a word of caution:

If you eat too much roasted garlic, for the next 24-48 hours, every room you enter will smell like garlic, your sweat will smell like garlic, your farts (and there will be many) will smell like garlic, and your poop will smell like garlic. It will not be a pleasant experience.

Don't ask me how I know this.

This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it's only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.
