Unfortunately, the windows bootloader issues are also ingrained in UEFI for many motherboards. Every few days I start my PC up and it has decided my grub entry is garbage and does me the favor of removing it and defaulting back to the windows bootloader.

I've worked around this by adding a bootcfg entry to the windows bootloader that points at grub. Now any time this happens, I pick the grub entry from the windows bootloader, my PC reboots, and now it'll keep defaulting to grub again until the next time it decides to wipe it.

Well...there is one thing they have in common.

I'm responding to the literal words you said that were inaccurate. Cheers.

No external power (as in foreign govermment) is forcing South Koreans to have fewer kids

From what I can gather from South Koreans on the internet talking about the matter, there is a direct relationship between their country's capitulation to western hyper-capitalist expectations over the last 50+ years, and this phenomenon. And it wasn't like the US was hands-off when it came to picking winners in the Korean War; to a large extent, South Korea is the way it is because of US, do you think that's a relatively safe oversimplification to work from?

It is not standard workflow in git to change the commit history for a branch on the remote. You have to use --force, and the next time someone pulls they also have to --force their any local tracking branch to follow the remote. Every git guide on the internet warns against pushing a rebase for this reason.

Locally you can do whatever. I'm not familiar with Mercurial, but I assume it must work the same as git: I can do whatever I want locally, and only what I push matters. And when I'm doing stupid stuff locally as I organize my changes, rebase is handy.

There's a fine line between what you're describing, and colonization. If we agree that the current set of korean families are not going to sustain the population themselves, and we agree that one way to preserve the population is to bring in transplants, then we're looking at a future South Korea that is primarily owned by people from other countries who had the resources to come in and take over. Which, "racial purity" aside, isn't great.

Apparently the much bigger issue is that their population curve is irrecoverable. There won't even be anyone to be racist in a few short decades.

Historically, that loop eventually pushes all forms of inequality to a local maxima, and then a war breaks out and inequality drops.

We could do it without the war part, but we won't. Maybe one day...

So,

1. OP is asking why month before day rather than day before month
2. In your example, it's not clear whether you are doing Y-M-D or Y-D-M, but I assume you are putting month before day, so we agree on that part. But
3. I think we're all in favor of: Most significant on the left -> Least significant on the right. I'm just arguing that, most if the time, for the most common uses, Month is most significant. It's just more common that you're looking at a list of dates that all span the next few months than a list of dates that are all within this month, or beyond a year.

regardless of the month, I think what matters first is to know what day of the month you are in

You're telling me that if you have a list of scheduled dates in the near future to meet with clients/patients/whatever, you first want them sorted by day, and then month?

So this list is the order you want to see these in?

• 4/5/25
• 8/7/25
• 15/6/25
• 16/5/25
• 23/6/25

Doesn't it make way more sense to see them sorted by month first, then day, so that they're actually in chronological order.

• 5/4/25
• 5/16/25
• 6/15/25
• 6/23/25
• 7/8/25

The only way you could defend the former listing is if you're also arguing that it makes sense to sort the list by the middle column, and hopefully we all agree that is just absurd. We don't alphabetize people by their middle names. You don't look up a word in the dictionary starting with the letter in the middle.

I jest, but I think this illustrates a real-life, commonplace example of when it makes sense. I agree that MM/DD/YYYY is not in order of magnitude, but I do believe it's in order of most significance to least significance given the timescales we are typically dealing with.

It's not pseudo-slavery, it's actual 100% legal slavery according to the words of the 13th Amendment of the US constitution.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States

To be clear, I'm not calling you brain dead, I'm calling denouncing protesting as a waste of effort brain dead. If you disagree...ya know, have the country you wanted.
