I'll just write thousands of lines of code inside a global object... I'm sure I won't put a semicolon where a comma should be...

Stöckl, probably, if you're Austrian.

My grandfather was a bomber pilot and he always remembered it by picturing himself flying north along the east coast, where all the ports would be on the left.

Plus, it's a model made before catalytic converters so it runs good on regular gas.

Softly. With their words.

The idea of specifically choosing motorcycle as your Costco mode of transport is hilarious, but I suppose panniers beat lugging a bunch of bags on a train. Also, my brother did a foreign exchange program in Okinawa when he was in high school, and I'm often reminded of how he said his host-father pronounced Costco as "Co-su-tu-co".

And I only subscribed because the one-time purchase was not available at that moment, so I assumed no such option existed. But honestly, I'll continue to pay the subscription. It's still less than a year's worth of my monthly donations to the developer of Tasker.

Reminds me of my first day studying abroad in Germany and trying to ask a random guy at the train station to borrow his lighter.

Me, miming lighting a cigarette: "Wie sagt man—" Him: "Man sagt FEUER!"

It's like people overcorrecting and using "whom" when "who" really would be correct. Ditto "you and I" vs "you and me". People get corrected enough times to be embarrassed, but still don't have any interest in correct usage, so they just blanket apply what they think is the rule rather than trying to actually learn any of its nuances. It's not a perfect analogy, but I can imagine people just reverting to "African-American" as a no-thought safe bet when referring to brown people.
