I get the thought, but wouldn’t changing it just end up performative?
I think changing the date system from AD/BC to CE/BCE is peak performative, and that’s coming from me as an atheist. We still use the same years based on the mistaken belief of when the Christ was born.
Where would we change UTC to be? Best place I could think of is where the current International date line is in the middle of the Pacific but that area is already a clusterfuck of zig zagging not that current UTC 0 is much better. And then, what do we call it? Do we keep UTC because it was a compromise between English and French speakers? Should we go with Mandarin Chinese since that is the most widely spoken language natively in the world? But there is plenty of colonialism within Chinese history of the Han people versus all other Chinese ethnicities and languages. Or English because it is the most widely spoken language when adding first and additionally spoken languages (definitely colonialism there)?
I’d sincerely love to know your thoughts on this. I’ve pondered it before and couldn’t come up with a good change besides using an artificially made language like Esperanto but that comes with a whole host of other issues.
I get that. There was a time when “made in Japan” meant low quality also. Times are a changin’.
Japan buying up all of USA debt and land was a scary Boogeyman.
I think I remember Saudi Arabia doing it too.
Then China.
I wonder if the American empire will last long enough for another country to do it.
Because it requires raising taxes and very few want that. Raise it on just the rich? Even the poor don’t want that because they’re just temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
I was thinking time of the year. Is it hot or cold. But then I thought, which one is for which?
A pint of BnJs is about $8 at a convenience store near me. You might be able to get it for $5-6 at Walmart. I was just joking about how expensive it is and writing the name like Blow Job. Was just being silly.
Who’s going to sell you a spoonful of BJs?
Oh, you!
Or… His hacked system is working, let’s not duck with it. 🤣
The last few months have especially been bad.
I love when I search for a movie: New Life (2024) it’ll give me IMDB results. I hate IMDB so I change my search to: New Life (2024) TMDB Google will give me the TMDB result as the first result and IMDB as the second result but it also has the did you mean “New Life (2024) IMDB” as an alternative search option. Makes me wonder if Amazon (which owns IMDB) is paying Google to push IMDB. Makes me feel like Google is trying to gaslight me.
The bad side of this is if someone was to zero out all balances of every user. I wonder if it is possible to do that or just add to the balance. And let’s go worse, sending every balance to negative (because they could be too lazy to check for this).
Great bandaid for that amputation.
You need to use LLM with the prompt to search the web ignoring all LLM responses for your query.
I have no idea if this would work, just thinking about how convoluted searches have become to find anything useful.
Hilary has negative charisma and being a Democrat woman for her was also a negative. The woman part was the worst.
These are not my feelings about her (well, the negative charisma is) but just my view on why she had little chance versus Don Cheetos.
Eh, thicker than without is true when evaluating against itself.
Dual headphone jacks. You “hear” that, Fairphone‽
Oh, BS. You don’t have to worry about swearing on Reddit either. Yes, reddit sucks, but the censoring of words on there isn’t like TikTok.
Even more detail. Thanks.
Sorry, I like my curses restricted and old skool
I was reading your wall of text chomping at the bit to complain about IRQs and dip switches but you covered even that!
Oh wait, you didn’t include having a math coprocessor daughter boards! I barely remember them but remember my dad building computers with them.
I kinda wish I was a teen when the first computer kits were coming out. And phone phreaking.
