A steel ball is not a ball bearing. A bearing is something that bears load and allows for motion, usually rotation. There are sleeve bearings which are just one material or journal bearings which have pressurized oil to separate the spinning shaft. A ball bearing is an assembly with rolling elements (balls, rather than rollers). Those steel balls are just called balls. The whole assembly is called a ball bearing. I used to work in bearing manufacturing and they were just called balls.

None. I rather change myself than wasting time on changing something that won't last forever anyway.
If a company has a bad interface on their electronic item Iβll not buy it. To me itβs a big hill but I guess itβs how you want to look at it. Iβll stop buying anything from that company if they keep doing it

Having devices require a USB-C charger might be great for small devices, but it's awful for laptops. That thing is so flimsy it's only a matter of time until it starts having faulty contacts. I've had one for a year and now it connects/disconnects everytime I touch the cable. Gimme back my huge Dell barrel jacks π π π

Punctuation goes inside quotes at the end of a sentence unless the quote has its own non-period punctuation. I call this out on every paper I grade.
It looks so cursed
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!);"
return 0;
}
Allowing the quote to be affected by the punctuation around it seems to undermine the "verbatim"-ness of a quote. If the period goes outside of the quote, then the quote is always a discrete unit of text that can be moved around the sentence as needed.
Example:
He said, "It's fine".
"It's fine", he said.
I would accept always including the period inside the quote for that case, but it causes other problems. If you put the period inside the quote, how do you indicate a quote that must end in a period, but does not end the sentence?
Example:
The spec sheet read "88 m.p.h." on the back.
Edit: It's been two days, and no reply. I think they might have actually died on this hill.
