That's the standard in Japan, I believe. I sometimes use it. The good thing about it is that it's unambiguous (I haven't heard of any yyyy-dd-mm formats yet), whereas the American and Canadian formats may sometimes leave you guessing, if it's not clear which one is used.

It also comes in handy for file names, if you're using a date instead of a number in the beginning to organize them. That way, you can sort them alphabetically and have them automatically sorted by date as well.

The German format is the same as the Canadian one, except that dots are commonly used instead of slashes. I mostly use the American format (the full mm/dd/yyyy one, none of that shortened stuff) for personal notes and spreadsheets, unless I'm dealing with stuff from many different years, in which case I may switch to the Japanese/ISO 8601 one.

The lovely thing about standards, is that there is one for everybody

Feeling better

Hey guys, after a pretty painful night with belly cramps and some puke I feel WAY better today! Sports is cancelled of course not only due to ill health but also due to a terrible heat wave coming up. I love tennis, but at 38-40°C I don´t play. This is too much, so I will enjoy a nice and easy week. Worked a bit today, took a nap and had some rest. Afterwards I got my bike from the workshop, so this is done now too. Got a brand-new fresh tire (how long will it survive? ).

Anyways, recovering well and hope to be able to grind soon .... ♠_thumbsup:

The expiry date on those kroepoek crackers that I've been trying to use up for a week says 10/03/2019 - which I assumed meant March 10, according to the local dd-mm-yyyy convention.

Now I'm wondering if I've just made a Primrosian Misread and they actually expire on October 03, meaning that there was never any rush to get rid of them. Which would certainly be a much milder annoyance than what Prim has to go through.

Can we just start writing months as JAN, FEB, MAR,... on those packages instead?

Getting healthy and a little SnG-session!

Okay, guys: 38°C here today! Started work very early in the morning and was glad that I could finish it quickly. There´s a terrible heat wave in almost whole Europe! Glad that I could cancel my tennis-training so that I don´t have to go outside very often. No tennis, no cycling this week. That means more time of grinding Feeling WAY better, I decided to play a little session. Played SnG on 888 and Titan, well, on 888 I could play only ONE SnG Yeah, that´s right! Traffic was very poor today on 888. ♠_o: Played a 3$ 6max SnG and won it. On Titan I played 6max 1-5€ SnGs and DONs, couldn´t get ITM in the 5€ (bummer!) but won some 1 and 2€ DONs, in a 2€ 6max I bubbled!

Lame traffic today on both rooms!

So just a little session which went break-evenish ....

After the downswings comes the breaking-even ....:wtf: but better breaking-even than loosing. ♠_smile:

you guys are fun, can i be your friend?

This is what happens when you plan a nice grind .......

URGENT ORDER!!

Don´t know if I can grind before weekend......

To be continued as soon as possible .........

We don't accept anyone weighing less than 150 kg in our club I'm afraid.

i've been asking EVERYWHERE but to no avail.

Hey Alex,
fine thanks, what about you? Grinding is going better, I´m running better, no more downie, but break-evenish, but no that bad anymore. Tennis was cancelled this week due to brutal heat wave. 40°C here!

Has been around 30c here lately. Warm enough for me. Though I think next week there was winds coming from north and might drop to 10-15c.

Today is the last hot day here. Gonna be 38°C, yesterday we had 40°C.

Tomorrow the heat wave will be over here (hurray!)!

..... but 80°C in the sauna: definitely too cold!

Grumpy Prim?

Well yeah...kind of. It´s still super hot and humid here and we had to go and do the grocery shopping. During the last couple of days the heat was dry which was fine. But not it´s getting super-humid, a thunderstorm will come soon. I started sweating, the air is so heavy, my blood pressure - wich is already too low - dropped. Oh boy! So we went into the "EDEKA" (name of the grocery store). During the grocery shopping I noticed that I was still sweating and puffing and totally knocked out. When we payed I asked an employee if the air conditioner was broken?

Answer: "We have no air conditioner"!!!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT????!!!!

While packing our foods I was holding a loud speech about the advantage of air conditioners and what a cruelty it is to have no air conditioner in a grocery store!!

That poor woman at the checkout was not amused

Okay, guys. ... Well, .... a bit stinky today

I went to Aldi today, guess what? Their entire refrigerated section was out of order. Some machine part was broken, I believe.

They had to waste tons of refrigerated goodies. Too bad they couldn't ask me, I would have gladly taken a lot of that stuff off their hands.

They are stupid to waste that food, why didn´t they sell it for half-price or so? I´m sure the food was still good!

If those are refrigerated goods and there is no way to keep them refrigerated... I don't think so.
