This comment isn’t wrong. Putin is evil but you trust him to be that. the usa is extremely bipolar swinging wildly in mood. Some of that being manipulated by putin, only adding to the lack of internal stability.

If your start time has a 4 hour swing, how could you just look up your local time and make a choice to call?

Just coordinate via asynchronous communication to schedule a time. It’s not 1935.

You: “hey uncle text me when it would be a good time to have a call”

6 hours later

Uncle: “hey i just got up, lets have a call at 4:50”

You: “thats a bid late for me, im in bed by 4:00, what about 3:30?”

Uncle: “sure sounds great”

No one needed to know anything about when people wake up, where on earth they live, etc.

Exactly, it always requires knowing your uncles habits.

No, timezones don’t make sense everywhere, you clearly have not lived on the edge of timezones where the shift from what would be local time is notable.

Yeah, which makes the points, it’s non trivial to know when to contact people with timezones anyways. The time zone only adds more complexity.

That’s a pretty good analogy, but it’s Fortran and B-52. Fortran is very good at what it does to this day. Cobol was never good.

The python in monty python does refer to the snake.

There is no hell, and that is the problem; those fighting believe in it.

Oh, so good news, the blood fugue is close to an end. I was worried this would get worse. /s

Yes, when you are in the northern hemisphere, a sundial shadow falls to the north of the gnomon (the thing that makes a shadow). This makes the shadow move from the northwest to north to northeast over a day, which is clockwise. In the southern hemisphere, the shadow from the gnomon falls to the south, so it starts in the southwest and moves to the south and then southeast, which is anticlockwise.

The most obvious way to see this is the photo of the sundial in Perth, where the hours run anticlockwise.

It’s certainly not the majority.

You need tickets orginating from the airport you want to leave from. You wouldnt buy a round trip to another location.

Its just a new form of nobility. We are privlaeged and you owe us fidelity.

I just looked at various bookings on AA, and the price change for the same flights booked differently is wild, over 100% change.

It’s mad that children could some how not deserve or accumulate debt to eat. It’s even more mad that its exactly what happens.

I don’t think he was a sherpa, but your point stands.

I mean, we have 12 years to find out? The kid needs help and care.

Maybe liberal democracy isn’t so democratic.

Its only possible bc a launch is cheap enough for them to do it. Cost of of placing them in orbit is the whole reason there is a problem.
