It’s a long commitment,. They might outlive you, assuming you don’t accidentally kill them.

I appreciate that you didn’t get mad about it. Of course it doesn’t matter here, but I point these things out in case people need to use them correctly in a serious situation.

No, we just have to do a little kindergarten (age 5) math, the difference between 12 and 15 is 3.
The 3rd-grade math (age 8) of figuring what time it will be 9 hours and 47 minutes later is equally difficult whether using 24h or am/pm. And may be easier using angles on an analog clockface, especially for an old fart like me.
The real problem with time isn’t 12h vs 24h. It’s the increments 12/24/60/30/15/5 when the rest of our system is base 10.
Oh and Daylight Savings. Jet lag without getting to go anywhere. Fuck that shit.

Mine was raised from the egg of a non wild turtle by someone else who found themselves unable to care for it and asked me to give it a home.

We use the 12 at both ends because there it is sitting at the top of the clock
- Comment on America 4 weeks ago:
I think it’s cheating to call it metric if it’s not decimal. Even some of the oldest analog clocks had 24-hour faces, they were just a bitch to read in a watch-size.

You start counting the hours io the next noon at midnight, duh

“case in point” although "case and point " is arguably an eggcorn

12:30 pm is half-past noon.
12:30 am is half past midnight, or as you would say 00:30
The m is “meridian” which is noon (sun straight up)
The a is ante/before and the p is post/after
In olden days it was easier to look up and set your clock at noon than midnight.

My box turtle mostly lives on soil, although he enjoys a paddle and soak in his water. But the main difference from a tortoise is that he’s omnivorous, needing protein like bugs, whereas they are herbivores.

- Comment on IMPORTANT PSA FOR PARENTS 4 weeks ago:
I remember in one of the Coloured Fairy Books en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Langs'_Fairy_Books and I’m not going to try to find which one, there was a story where a kid was hanging out with the fairies and they went to a house and his in the thatch. They sprinkled pepper on the daughter so she’d sneeze. “If she sneezes 3 times without a bless-you, we can steal her!” She does twice, no blessings. On the 3rd sneeze the kid yells BLESS YOU at the top of his lungs, the fairies scatter and she’s saved. So at the very least, I make sure nobody is stolen by the fairies. Colored or otherwise.

Going at a more popular time is a different experience and can be better in its own way. More different from watching alone at home. Individual audience members can be annoying but a good audience enhances your enjoyment as they react to the same moments with you.

That’s terrible for you and the squirrels but some apex predator’s babies are getting really well nourished. Or it’s also possible many squirrels noped out of the area after a few were devoured.

It did say “probably”! I think that’s your loophole. Just pick a “Vic #1” type target.
