  How about a nice game of Global Thermonuclear War?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Made one deadly slip⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But I’ll see what I can do.

  The other use for timezones besides local midnight is the offset between geographical areas. UTC+2 or UTC+4. if I start work at 6 UTC and my buddy at 10 UTC, I know for scheduling purposes we are 4 hours shifted from each other. Whether you have to do math or not depends, but it is still a “timezone” by a different name. The only way to completely get rid of timezones is to ignore local time altogether.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar noon is the only real noon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Except when you have to work with people geographically separated. Trying to figure out when their work hours are UTC, and when yours are, so as to line it up. Boom, you’ve reinvented timezones by a different name.

  For a family or just for yourself? I guess I was thinking through the lens of buying for a whole family, which I know I would struggle to do on my bike.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Its difficult to buy a week’s worth of groceries on a bike, which is often the norm in the US partly because of the car-centric nature. It’s a trip or ordeal to get groceries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s balanced by light switches being outside of the bathroom, which I absolutely hate.

  I think academia is entirely different from news. This is research often funded with public money where the article fees aren’t going to the author. Seems a lot more reasonable to demand that the public should be able to read it for free.

  I mean, biblically speaking we weren’t supposed to eat those apples.

  If you’re navy captain lezbian I sure hope major is not in your future. Cheers to future admiralty!

  It’s an older meme, sir. but it checks out.

  You forgot Vaporeon.

  Just wait till December and you’ll have Stormlight Book 5!

  I’ve really enjoyed greyjay. I don’t yet have creators I follow outside of YouTube, but I love the concept.
