       I fell into a weird Wikipedia hole that taught me that US, UK, NZ, and Australian armed forces stand at attention with their heels at a 45° angle relative to each other. Canada uses 30°. I have not been able to figure out why.Dear fediverse, please boost to help me get an answer. 🙏 Why is Canada different in this oddly-specific regard?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_attention#United_Kingdom_and_British_Commonwealth

       @foone I never got past the “constantly looking stuff up” phase of Rust competency, but I really enjoyed it—something about constructing valid Rust programs feels like Actual Engineering to my brain. I hope you're having fun. ✨
