Why is the debate of RFC-3339 vs. ISO-8601 the new holy war of computers? ... When did this new holy war begin?

Webmail #UIRage 

Webmail apps are not desktop applications, and they should not try to behave like one. Every single one that tries fails horribly.

I have never in my life used a Webmail application as good as HoTMaiL was in 1997, before Microsoft bought it. Fuck all y'all for making any Web-based mail user interface more complicated than that.

I've been pinching out a hole in my toasts.
I could also butter the bread on both sides, use a glass to cut out a hole, & toast the hole alongside; although that should make it look like it came out of a certain masked antihero movie, it just feels more wasteful to me.

Form a hole in bread. Melt butter in a frying pan on medium-low heat. Place bread in pan, crack egg into hole, season. Fry until egg bottom sets, flip, fry until egg is done, serve.

Someone suggested I had the heat too high, and my second attempt at a slightly lower setting seems to confirm it.

I tried making eggy in the basket for the first time, using wheat bread. It tastes fantastic, but I fear I came up short on presentation a bit. What do you think?
