  The numbers on the clock actually make a lot of sense.

  12, 24 and 60 are highly composite numbers (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_composite_number).

  Imagine using numbers in a world where most people have no real understanding of fractions.

  That is also the reason why you see the same or similar numbers as common screen refresh rates. 24, 48, 60, 120 and 240.

  The 12 hour clockface design is that way because it is a similar design to that of a sundial, so people did not need to learn a new way to read the time. This also meant that for readibility reasons it was beneficial to only have 12 numbers.

  It has been done and it is called swatch time.

  Ok, even better that I didn’t watch it then. I had rejected the movie on principle.

  I run a custom kernel, I have no intention if signing everything all the time.

  Technically you are not wrong with what you are saying, however you still miss all the important points.

  Its total bullshit to place a dystopian organisation so close to the center of a utopian society. It basically calls the whole society into question.

  Einstein.

  He was a generally great guy and had very progressive social views, so it would be fun to talk to him about the current state of the world.

  Also a lot of his theories around relativity and theories of quantum physics have been proven recently. It would be amazing to see his mind be blown when he realises both sides were right and what that means for how a theory of everything needs to look like.

  So basically exactly what the story said the romans did.

  an internet (sort of) without computers.

  Really? You mean like the … telephone network?

  That is fine. But it is still stupid to say if you want to get to know somebody.

  So he was expecting a major shitshow and was positively surprised that it was just a bit of smelly poop?
