In work specifically for the reasons above we use DD-MMM-YYYY

I think Iāve said it before, thatās the best way to write dates, especially in filenames, because itās sortable.

Not really because today is 2021-06-05!
To be honest, at work if I want to make sure someone knows what date I mean I use long formā¦
6th May 2021
For naming purposes I use YYYYMMDD

To me the YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD format is always used for filenames and anything else I can. Same with any metric units. SAE and whatever other weird and outdated standards that are used here in the US are ready to be outmoded. Hell, the space industry uses metric and I really like space stuff 
The only time I say dates in a format other than ymd is if Iām discussing plans with people. Like getting the cat spayed on the 12th of this month.

To start a new derail, I might have sent a message in the Discord without thinking about how it sounded 
:
Oopsā¦
This was in reference to methods of installing an xLED and a NExT next to one another. So, has anyone heard of two implants being installed in P0 using the same insertion site? Iād love to know

Oh hellā¦ things come to my mind, not really related to microchippy implantsā¦ without any context, thatās really a gem! 
And Iām totally sorry for jumping in here and derail the derail again, but I just have to show it - my Austrian package arrived!

Looks very elegant, I could see myself blacking out only to wake up next to a bunch of empty wrappers 
I havenāt been up that way in a long time.
Also, I should post more frequently I suppose.

I almost exclusively write dates as dd mmm (or %d %b for our python friends) so ā6 Mayā, Not using a digit for the month eliminates ambiguity. files are always saved yyyymmdd though for sorting purposes.
Side-note, wife is a book-keeper and the fact that Canada hasnāt standardized on one or the other makes reading/entering receipts for her clients utter hell. She has literally memorized which companies use which. āOkā¦ 4/5/21ā¦ itās a Home Depot receipt so that means itās May. Next. 1/4/21ā¦ itās from Windsor Plywoodā¦ so that would be Januaryā¦ā That has got to be frustrating.

Tomorrow, after weāre all hooked, Coma announces her new Zotter delivery service, wherein she orders off the cheaper and better selection of the EU site and ships for SLIGHTLY less than the US site.

I try to keep up all my discipline to avoid ātryingā all of them out at onceā¦ especially since there are some new things I didnāt know yet. 
I kinda like the idea 
But nah, shipping stuff and keeping track of all the payments and suchā¦ I might be a bit too chaotic for such a job

Hmmm, a cyborg that blacks out after overindulging in Theobromos. I seem to remember reading about them in the company series by Kage Baker.

You mentioned The Company series by Kage Baker so I looked it up. Looks like a really good series.
