    @mayintoronto No NAT for security… configure the firewall properly instead.

    (I’m not talking about NATv4 being a stopgap solution for address exhaustion)
    - - -
    No sauces, salt or pepper on my food unless the chef prepared it as such.
    - - -
    I don’t know what else. I’m sure I’m a purist about many things.

      @mayintoronto Oh… I just remembered by reading the responses.

      Fairmount and St. Viateur bagels are the superior bagels 🥯

        I let my pancakes cool down enough so I can top it with cold butter, because cold butter is infinitely better than warm butter.

        Not being sorry for my controversial threads.

        At most, you'll get a Canadian sorry.

            @mayintoronto Canadian sorry: the kind of sorry you tell doors that accidentally close on you.

            Sorry 😅

                  I only excused myself recently to the corners of my bed (and my toes)

                    @EdwinG Canadian sorry is a manner of speech, like a local filler to signify that you care.

                    It has absolutely nothing to do with apologies.

                        @mayintoronto definitely a purist about poutine

                        Only 3 ingredients and yet so many place get something very wrong

                          “Login” is always a noun; “log in” is the verb form. Ditto for “logout” / “log out.” In computer interfaces, button labels should be imperative verbs, therefore buttons that say “login” and “logout” are mislabeled.

                                    But do you use spaces or commas to group sets of three digits, e.g. 23 000? In Canada we're supposed to do so in English as well as in French.

                                      @mpjgregoire Only when it becomes difficult to read, so usually 5-6 digits or more.
