I'm very pro real books and as a result was hesitant to jump on the ebook bandwagon. That all changed after finishing a particularly large book early during a long trip, lugging those damn dead trees around the country for a while and unable to find anything worthwile to read in along the way. Now with my ebook any book and every book on my "to read" list taking up the same space, same weight, and I don't worry about damaging them because the ebook is waterproof with a rugged cover.
I still buy hard to find and out of print books at used book stores, but those stay home and get gifted to special people when I'm done.
So you're looking for validation, not an honest discussion. This whole thing just got more weird. You're weird.
So we're not getting hand milked by 40 cows while getting figged by 3 cherubs.
It's shorter than saying zero and it's only ever used where context makes the it obviously not the letter. Also, almost all of the other digits are single syllables too. Seven is arguably (I'm no linguist) the only other multi-syllable digit and I think it gets a pass because it's barely more than a single syllable unless you emphasize it.
Texas Prevents People From Owning More Than 6 Dildos. Now Lawmakers Want to Ban Sex Toys at Walmart.
I don't understand banning sex toys from supermarkets. Every supermarket has sex toys. To say they don't is just naivety. Banning masturbation aids from stores that aren't adults only is only a ban on safe toys. Easy and shame free access to safe toys and prophylactics is a matter of public safety and harm reduction. Restricting those things by law to adults only stores, online, and private parties is cruel and causes harm. The Texas law isn't much different, just dipping a toe in the waters of harmful oppression.
Sex toys and their packaging aren't always inherently obscene or explicit. Y'all can stop clutching your pearls, the kids will be alright.
YYYY-MM-DD is the only non-mental way to write either.
I was only answering your question about why programming a way to parse those common date formats is problematic.
I was going to say something snarky too, but this is the only sane take here. Nothing more needs to be said.
Ok, not to many other comments, still though.
Bro, if you didn't want people to respond with genuine takes on what you post and if you're going to be so defensive, why are you even here?
Also, I'm not defending anything. DST should be the standard time because we spend most of the year in it anyway. But that's just my own opinion, which I feel no need to defend to you or anyone else.
You're so wound up about making your point and defending your point of view that you're not actually comprehending my comments. It's your map in the sense that you are presenting it to us, who authored it isn't really relevant to this discussion.
Just pointing out the ridiculousness of getting petty and insulting about the way other people define time scales because you don't agree. There is no objective truth here, just subjective opinions. ALL of those opinions and methods have flaws, especially your beloved "everyone should just use UTC". There is no such thing as "correct" here, so putting that word in your map's title and using "right" and "wrong" in this discussion is just naive.
We spend most of our year in daylight savings time. Standard time is the pretendy-magic-time.
This map really brings home how awful this projection is for this map's purpose and how awful most projections really are near the poles. Greenland isn't that big. I know this map is Plate Carree, not Mercator, but the size issue of an equirectangular projection is really similar when comparing longitude and size for the entire globe from pole to equator. 15 degrees of longitude for a timezone stops making sense that close to the poles. Greenland would mostly fit in the central time zone of the United States for example. Given its sparse population, dividing it up into 3 timezones seems unnecessary.
The Samsung gear watches all support Spotify offline playback. All the wearOS watches support as much local media playback as the hardware allows (I think), but managing that local library is pretty tedious and awful. Especially if like me you either listen through streaming services or streaming from a library of FLAC media on a NAS at home. With the Spotify app on my watch, I just select a playlist to be downloaded while I'm connected to WiFi and that's it. It is not flawless though, sometimes the Spotify database or authentication gets fouled up and you're unable to fix it until you return to WiFi. But I haven't had many issues with it since Samsung switched away from their own bespoke watch OS to wearOS.
Most Americans could name at least one famous Waldo, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Okay maybe not most anymore, people are dumb, but if you said the name then the literate ones might know he was a poet. I don't think I've ever met anyone named Wally or even heard of someone with the name, not even as a nickname.
It holds up better that his first Deadpool appearance.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that IF Ryan Reynolds were to reprise the Green Lantern role, it would probably be way too close to being a noble Deadpool variant in green. That said, (hot take / spit-balling and probably dumb idea incoming) maybe what both comic universes need at this point to spice things up is more crossover events that aren't just jokes. What if one of the Deadpools actually got a lantern ring somehow?
For running, I got a smartwatch that can store some music locally, so I don't need to be connected to listen. Still not perfect, kind of a hassle to use, and doesn't always work perfectly. Almost miss those tiny iPod nanos. I feel like portable dedicated music players have gone backwards in features and usability with the rise in popularity of perpetually connected Internet devices and streaming services.
Strawman arguments aside, it seems you've already forgotten how this comment chain started. Just let it go.
This is a map enthusiast community, not a lying with statistics and graphic design community.
