the 12-hour system makes sense as soon as you buy into the 1 hour = 60 minutes convention and split that up into 5-minute blocks

I understand the thrust of your argument, but I respectfully disagree.

Why wouldn’t an 8-hour reset make sense? Just have 8 numbers instead of 12 and spin the hour hand a little faster.

A 12-hour analogue clock barely makes sense anyway. Mine’s 24.

I’ve never understood the 12 hour clock. Like, you just decide to reset the time at lunchtime or something? Why not have an 8 hour clock and reset the time after breakfast and just before teatime, it makes just as much sense

I still have my invitation, for better or worse, so all we can prove is that I don’t have access to time travel within my lifetime

Ah yes, it’s one of those irregular verbs

They literally test it by parking children in front of it and optimising for the least amount of time spent looking away from the screen. As a result the kids get overstimulated and executive function gets damaged.

Brainrot for babies. Don’t google it. You’ll be much happier not knowing.

Please don’t put words in OP’s mouth. Especially misspelt words. Thank you.

This is terrible advice.

Never ever ever ever ever roll your own cryptography. You will make mistakes. Those mistakes will bite you in the taint.

Net Promoter Score is a garbage metric that exists to deny hard workers bonuses.

You can rank someone 6/10 (above average) and that counts against them?!

This post is like writing “2+2=6” in an elevator.

It’s wrong on many levels.

One-dimensional is the easiest way to get a rough idea of the difference between a million and a billion.

Put a stack of a million bank notes on its side, and that’s roughly a walk across a parking lot.

At least in this country, once they’ve verified your age, they aren’t allowed to keep your information.

I don’t believe for a microsecond that they actually obey that law (which is why I won’t verify my age anywhere) but it’d be an instant admission of guilt if they pulled that.

Do you want to give up caffeine? If you do, you can do it. I did it. Took me about eight months. I feel better now, no “don’t talk to me before I’ve had my coffee”, no 3pm slump. But that was my choice, and as addictions go, I don’t know if it’s really that bad?

I prefer not to get piss on my legs, but you do you!

And then we put kids in dresses! Even the boys! Oh! The vapours! ⋆faints dramatically⋆

Do you have a suggestion for one, please? (yes I am fully aware I could google it but that won’t give me the nuanced opinion of someone who probably already owns one)

USB-C can only draw 6.5A of current, and even that has its issues if the user suddenly unplugs. It’d be great for a trickle charge, but the pins are just too dinky to carry kilowatt levels of power, physics gets in the way.

shakes fist at cloud Damn you physics!
