Yes! My normal speed already has a built-in data limit by virtue of the possible data with that speed over the billing period.

here’s the thing though, you wouldn’t need to do that second part. You only need to know what the relative time for london is in the event that you fly over there, or something, and even then
What? Sorry, I must be misunderstanding your viewpoint here. People interact all across the globe all of the time; it’s important to know what part of day it is in the different places for all of that. You want to call someone in Singapore? It doesn’t help to know their clock shows the same time as you, you need to know if it’s the middle of the night, or maybe it’s likely lunch time etc. That’s why you need to know the offset from “your” time.
And you glossed over everything else… I’m not talking about movies for no reason. Movies tend to need to convey lots of information in a short amount of time so it’s a useful example of the differring amounts of information that can be communicated when we all share cultural understandings of things. If 3am means essentially the same thing everywhere that’s super useful in communicating all sorts of ideas.
Too bad movies never use shit like ambient moon lighting, or darkness
Probably because people’s beds tend to be inside… Plus darkness can mean morning or evening or middle of the night or something else (imagine the person notices it’s dark, looks at the clock and it shows 1pm. We know something’s off because we all experience 1pm as early afternoon).
The point isn’t that timezones are only good for movies, the point was that they help convey that cultural understanding very effectively across the world. Having a common understanding of what certain numbers on a clock mean and have that be universal can help convey quite a bit of information. 11am means “late morning” in a specific way that you could probably spend a paragraph describing.
Sure, without timezones I’d know what their clock says in London without having to use Google, but I’d still have to Google what time of day it is there and apply an offset to understand exactly what part of the day it is (which is what timezones do already). It’s no easier, plus we lose the ability to culturally share the same reference points.
Imagine you’re watching a movie, and the main character turns over to their bedside clock and it shows 4:13 am. With time zones we all understand what part of the day that is and instinctively can relate to the situation.
Without timezones, every locality would have a different shorthand and cultural understanding of what times mean what. Or they’d adopt a second system that helps transcend that but that’s just inventing timezones again…
I love DST! I just think ever switching out of it is where the mistake lies
I was imagining an awning or something that was being set up when it rained
That’s exactly my point… The way the headline is worded it conflates his plan with trying to destroy the art when the full context of the quote is his clarifying that he’s specifically not trying to destroy the art nor does he believe it’ll come to that. It’s a misleading headline that also doesn’t quite make sense as it conflates trying to do something with publicly “planning” to do something you don’t believe will actually happen.
He’s planning to try and destroy art? What a poorly worded headline…
Could be 70151 if read from right to left (they used to be this way back in the day, doubt that’s the case now).
If left you right, I think it’s 15107 as if it’s seven at the end then it hasn’t reached the one yet.
I find the ones at the locksmith are heavier-duty than others (and have that nice little jog in the wire where the ends overlap so it’s a flat ring unlike the cheaper ones)
Man, the places I could hike without having to carry a pack! Wouldn’t need to plan for resupply or anything. Would have communication access from anywhere in the world.
You could use it as a kickass home gym where you can dial up or down gravity depending on what you’re doing.
Smuggling would be a whole lot easier if you went that route. Transporting all sorts of things really; you only need to get yourself to the new location.
Could do some very amazing magic tricks since you can disappear (and swap props or outfits or whatever).
With gravity turned down you could presumably build up some momentum and launch yourself places. Not sure how you’d stick the landing unless you can control which way is “up” as you teleport to the room.
Edit: Just realised this idea is kinda similar to an ability from HunterxHunter
Yeah, they should have an offer of employment I’d think? Guess it depends on the job though as I haven’t always had that, but you bet I’d be checking that first paystub so it’s weird OP went so long without noticing.
So many small businesses have a Facebook page and no website which is quite frustrating too. I just want to see your hours, why did I need to sign up to another website to do that?

That thing that transformed winter for me was skiing and winter hiking. Now that we’re getting into shoulder season I can’t wait to hit the trails/slopes!
From Yesterday by 30 Seconds to Mars is like a whole short film and they went to China to film it. I remember it being a bit of a deal at the time.
Basically every OK Go music video, This Too Shall Pass is particularly impressive.
Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel is pretty impressive the amount of work that must’ve gone into it.
The face morphing at the end of Black and White by Michael Jackson was cutting edge special effects at the time and it holds up well today (better than the rap verse breakdown in the song itself…)
I thought smokers ended up being cheaper for healthcare in the long run because they don’t live as long?
The details around the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand really jump the shark. Must’ve been a drug-fueled writing session on that one
I hope this is at least banking that time; you don’t get overtime, but you can use that time later for paid time off.
