Hey, that’s the combination on my luggage!
There’s a lot of “X1 Carbon 6th” listed here.
Think about it this way: in the unlikely event that your parking brake fails while you’re parked, which direction is gravity going to make the car roll? Park in the gear that opposes that roll. So if you’re facing up an incline, park in first gear. If you’re facing down, park in reverse. If you’re on an absolutely flat surface, park in whichever you want.
By the way, this isn’t just a good idea for hills, but for uneven driveways or parking lots.

From 1913 Webster’s, to show how “far” we’ve come:
Pun"dit (?), n. [Hind. pandit, Skr. pandita a learned man.] A learned man; a teacher; esp., a Brahman versed in the Sanskrit language, and in the science, laws, and religion of the Hindoos; in Cashmere, any clerk or native official. [Written also pandit.] [India]

The post was about being asked to disable background blurring specifically.

I really have no idea, but “blogger in the 80s” is kind of hilarious. The coining of a term can be hard to pin down, but it also matters a lot less than when it takes off. Looking at this ngram I think we can place the rise, when most people would become aware of it, in the early 2010s.

It’s worth noting that its success might have prevented the common term “incel” from coming about.
When I first saw sudo
I assumed it was pronounced “pseudo” because it lets you fake like you’re doing stuff as another user. So that has stuck for me. (And despite all evidence, I still low-key believe it’s a clever pun encompassing both that and the official “superuser do.”)
Everybody who doesn’t die young is going to get old and wrinkly
I’m certainly not disagreeing with you, but let’s not overlook how protecting your skin from sun exposure can help as the years pile on.
Makes me think of the scene from Easy Rider where they explain “dude” to Jack Nicholson.
