I also didn't know there wasn't a year 0 A.D. We went straight from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D.

The reason I was always unsure of how the years between B.C. and A.D. were counted was for a long time I assumed A.D. was abbreviation for After Death. So I thought there were 33 years between 1 B.C. and 1 A.D.
It was only much later that I found that A.D. was latin for Anno Domini (year of the lord).

With that in mind, I was always like "It's Year 1 when he is one year old," things like that.

Flash Fill on spreadsheets.

The old saying of if you want hard things done get a lazy person to do it because they'll find fast and easy ways to do it.

Found that out thanks to someone at my work. They showed me some "shortcuts" like that, and while it's not perfect, if you utilize it properly it can save so much time.

I could turn a 30 minute task into a 3 minute one thanks to this, but still obviously make it seem like it took 30 minutes because "work smarter not harder".

Halloween 3 doesn't have anything to do with Michael Myers.

Season of the witch should have been a standalone movie however, from my understanding all Halloween movies after season of the witch would have been their own entities, so I understand why Halloween three has nothing to do with Michael Myers

I haven't heard that one before. The one I always heard was ''If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it.''

Probably lots of variations of a similar thing.

Could probably add on "if you want something done quick, ask a lazy person to do it."

I had no idea Suge Knight played in the NFL for the Rams. As a scab, yeah, but still, I didn't know it.

I feel like I used to know that but maybe had forgotten.

Several doesn't mean around seven? Or does it?

I've always took several to mean around seven (like 5,6,7,8) like how close to a dozen is 10,11,13,14. People saying otherwise and that it could mean as few as 3?

hmm, you got "couple" which would mean two, but somehow also means three, then you have "few" which notches it up to 4-6, so I guess "several" would be next in line. Unless Several per interpretation is same as Few, anything more than a couple, even though a couple could mean three


what value would you assign to "some" or "many"?

You're missing "handful" and "half a dozen."

Played college ball at UNLV, which feels very on brand.
