Design fail. The backup camera on my car remains useful even in the rain based on its mounting location beneath the lip of the trunk lid which deflects the rain.

Ours is under the lip, too. It gets a fine covering of road spray in wet weather.

Car had been stationary in the carport. Fine rain had blown in from behind.
The camera is pretty well shrouded, in the tailgate.

It is. But apparently it's now also an English interjection.

A newly married sailor was informed by the navy that he was going to be stationed a long way from home on a remote island in the Pacific for a year.
A few weeks after he got there he began to miss his new wife, so he wrote her a letter. βMy love," he wrote βwe are going to be apart for a very long time. Already I'm starting to miss you and there's really not much to do here in the evenings. Besides that, we're constantly surrounded by young attractive native girls. Do you think if I had a hobby of some kind I would not be tempted?β
So his wife sent him back a harmonica saying, "Why don't you learn to play this?"
Eventually his tour of duty came to an end and he rushed back to his wife.
"Darling" he said, "I can't wait make passionate love!"
"First let's see you play that harmonica!"

Itβs weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

How do you feel about the trend toward making Windows desktop dialog boxes commit all changes as soon as you make them, and thus forego the OK and Cancel buttons?
I think that the idea that changes are not committed until you click OK, and the idea that you can always back out of unwanted changes by clicking Cancel are time-honored traditions.
They are foundational to the desktop computer user interface and changing this paradigm would be like making octagonal windows instead of rectangular ones. It doesn't make sense.
OK and Cancel buttons are the on-screen analogue of the Enter key and the Escape key. What would a computer be like without an Enter key?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

It's essential for a keyboard to have a RETURN keyβjust as it should.
