Absolutely my favorite vehicle I have ever had. My mom was disabled and we have had to use SUVs and pickups and vans my whole life, before anyone jumps me for the environmental aspect. But it was genuinely the nicest vehicle I’ve ever had. Loved everything about it.

Bbc iplayer has an insane amount of stuff, not just bbc original productions.

I would very much so like to know, please

Dammit, that wasn’t supposed to post yet. I’m still in the process of revising! Lol.

There was a metric clock after the revolution, it didn’t last long, because it was bad. It made the day (as in, the 24 hour day) 10 metric hours long, and contained 100 minutes and 100 seconds. Meaning a metric hour is about 2.24 standard hours. Having only 10 hours in a day meant it was harder to schedule things, and you had to be much more precise. 10 is also just not as divisible as 12 or 60. There’s a reason why base 12 systems have staying power, even when they’re converted into base 10 and feel clunky.

My suggestion for a better metric clock, still keeping the standard base 10 of metric, would be to divide the day into daytime and nighttime hours, and giving each of them 10 so it feels all nice and frenchy. 100 minutes, 100 seconds.

That makes the metric hour about equivalent to 72 standard minutes, and the metric minute about 43 standard seconds

1 metric second would be a little less than half our current second.

The day is nearly divided into two segments, daytime (DT) and nighttime (NT) that parallels the am/pm system. I don’t particularly like this, as I prefer a 24 hour clock in our currently system, but it’s still an improvement on the actual metric clock from the revolution.

Now, if you want an actual improvement, and not just a clock that goes well with your other systems of measure, you’d need to attend on my Ted Talk on why we should transition to base 12 for everything (not go to the American/imperial system, but actual base 12. As in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X, E, 10). The meter can stay the same physical length, the dozenal kilo would balance a scale with old one, but divide everything in the new system, giving us significantly more ways to divide things evenly, and keeping the nice round “10s.”

Couldn’t students just generate a paper with ChatGPT, open two windows wide by side and then type it out in a word document?

Ha. She’s one worth crying over. Lost her in April, and I don’t know that I’ll recover. Hug your loved ones. ♥️

But I will tell you, she taught me how to steal fantastic cheeses, and we never went hungry again. Haha.

Would marry that farmer. No questions asked, no long engagement. Straight to the court house, we’re getting hitched.

My mom and I used to steal fancy cheese for each other. God I miss that woman like you can’t believe. 10/10 mom and person.

I’m a tech moron, but I’ve been on Linux of and on since like 07ish. Full time since 2015ish. Started with Ubuntu way back when, and I’ve jumped around from distro to distro. I’ve tried Manjaro, mint, opensuse… God, I can’t even tell you what else. I once installed that Miley Cyrus Linux and ran it for like a week as a gag. But from 2015 onward when I went full time I’ve basically just been in Fedora (including silverblue and Bazzite). I’ve got Ubuntu running on a mini PC I’m using to set up a server for jellyfin and a few other things. But as far as my daily driver goes, it’s almost always fedora. I just fucking love it.

But bear in mind here, I’m a pretty surface level user, so what I love is actually Gnome. Lol

Personally I was only 14-16 for like 5 years at most

Lmao. That stands for leaded and regular. Sheesh.

Honestly, that’s fucking genius. They should do murals on elevators doors that change as they open

They said scifi, not fantasy :p

I’ll look for it tonight. Reply to this at some point, if you don’t mind. It’ll remind me to post it for you. Lol

Oh that’s kinda cool in its own right. Two birds and all

If you want, I made a little rule sheet designed to printed out in tarot card size to go with the deck. It’s pretty minimal, but includes a nice formula for the calculator so you don’t have to actually do any math when tabulating scores.

Also, pro-tip: only the takers points matter. You don’t have to calculate the scores of everyone at the table, as defenders points are literally worthless. The only thing that matters is if the taker makes their contract.

It’s so worth getting into it you’ve got people to play with. Online play is a thing, too, but the rules are complicated enough that I had to play with physical cards a few times to really get it. I also slightly updated the rules on it and created a formula for the calculator to make it easier for folks. I didn’t so much change the rules for our home game, but updated the scoring. Normal french tarot using half point that made the math difficult for some people, so I moved the decimal and 4.5 became 45, shit like that

Don’t forget the very well light, 4k quality picture of their anus that they do not properly clean

There is a movement to bring back the thorn. It’s actually pretty popular among English reformists. Personally, I’m in favor, but I generally don’t use it outside of certain communities, or when joking or making a point. Using it ‘in the wild’ is normally an attempt at normalizing it’s use. Personally, I’m on board, just not brave enough to be the odd one out. Especially since I’m also in favor of eth, eng, and interrobang (which I do use in the wild.). It’d make my writing too difficult for others to read it I included all of those in a normal post.
