And yes.

St Peter has Sunday off for religious reasons.

What is that holiday Americans celebrate by blowing their fingers off with firecrackers?

You say the day first, the person listening has exactly 0 idea what the hell you're talking about until you get to the month.

This is how conversations work. By the end of the sentence, you know what someone has said.

How long is the pause in your speech between words that you have to worry about losing someone's attention after a single word?

Edit: I should add that I'm Australian though, so the day/month/year thing works for me, and we also say the day first when speaking.

Are there any games that won't work on 64bit?

With 35 months remaining until the presidential election, it looks like we should see a about a 133% shift further blue.

Yeah, I'm pretty certain the whole "board not approving" thing is one of the main things that makes it a hostile takeover?

What I've seen in the past is that the board will disapprove of the takeover, and the other company will acquire enough shares to have enough sway to vote on members of the board. New board members (and old board members once they've made their own deals to get what they want out of whatever restructuring is planned) approve of the takeover bid and basically force the remaining shareholders into accepting the terms.

I'm definitely not the most knowledgeable person about such matters, though, others may have a better explanation.

Have seen similar in Australia. The bathrooms of some more modern hotels seem to gravitate towards using a sort of sliding door / partition system for the bathroom. I can only assume it's significantly cheaper and quicker than building actual walls and doors.

Trump and the turkey both went "gobble gobble"?

I'm Australian, but some of the older switchboards in industrial installations are similar in appearance to the top image.

The middle would have a busbar (or three if it's a three phase panel) that connects the circuit breakers to the main switch. The cables are connected to the far left and far right sides of the breakers.

It could be different in the US, though, if anyone with more relevant experience wants to chime in.

Edit: looking back at the top image, I'm reminded that the US uses split phase in some places, so that top panel likely has two busbars down the middle.

There are some Lenovo minis with Quadro GPUs in them as well. Would be handy for transcodes, if that's something you require for Jellyfin.
