Between the two, months is much harder. With time,.you just set your clocks to UTC. To get months fixed you need mass adoption, rewriting calendar software, etc.

Just gonna throw STAR voting into the rink for the hell of it. Any of these systems is better than FPTP and I would endorse any of them in a local push for better voting.

There’s dozens of us! Yeah practically it’s almost entirely an aesthetic effect. I’ve kept it that way and haven’t had any problems from it, though.

UTC has leap seconds to keep it aligned with earth’s rotation. Otherwise all timezones would slowly shift away from having any correlation with solar time. Between UTC and IAT, UTC is the more human-useable and thus better.

Eh, I think the article blows the situation out of proportion. Overall you’re still in the same situation as before. Instead you would just be looking up a timetable of sunrises/sunsets, instead of a timezone chart. It ends up mostly reframing the question from “what time is it there?” to “what time of day is it there?”. The real version of “after abolishing time zones” is “google tells me it is before sunrise there. It’s probably best not to call right now.”

I’ve been using UTC on my own clocks without issue, and the change is not some completely reality-breaking thing - not anymore than DST. From a matter of personal perspective it just shifts what time correlates to what time of day.

using UTC also simplifies the questions “what times can I call you at?” And “when should we have our call?” since you have the same temporal standard. Even before that, I was scheduling calls with family by stating the call would be at such-and-such time UTC.

The biggest difference is with when the date changes, and I think that ultimately is the hardest pill to swallow, and that’s even compared to stomaching the sun rising at 2 AM. Having it change from June 5th to June 6th in the middle of a workweek, or even jumping to another month would bother alot of folks in a significant fashion.

Ultimately it’s just a personal practice. No nation is going to abolish time zones if everyone still uses time zones. I just prefer it for various reasons.

This is even more relevant to Digimon. I have no idea of whether their file format is supported, or how digiworld differs on OS’s. I’d have to guess it’s some type of web protocol? Dunno…

Edit: dug back into my childhood, the Digiworld is stored on a cluster of servers, so those are pretty likely going to be some flavor of linux. Local PC client applications are used for storing Digimon locally IIRC, and we also see in this clip that it appears that the guys are using windows 95 or something similar.

Still alot of questions but

All the logos over his face makes him look like a rainbow eldritch horror when I see him in my periphery.

So in this case, is the “Would.” Implying “I would fuck that.”? Is this another format of “Hear me out…”?

Get an abacus. Unlock your full potential.

Is this normal in Iceland? What’s the current situation there?

Edit: Found Details link

Edit2: looks like the town was evacuated

AWAB, fuck the Mage’s Guild!

Bought 5 foam swords for $3 each. Good purchase.

White man shoulda thought about that before creating race.

The election will pan out how it’ll pan out. I’m voting for Biden so I can give my friends the best chance we can get them.

I am not just voting, though, and you shouldn’t stop at voting either.

Start working towards unionizing your workplace if you can. Join the IWW for training and networking (literally any worker can join).

Join and support any kind of solidarity network in your town you can (tenant unions, volunteer security details, food distributors, etc.) Hell, start one with your friends if there isn’t one.

Participate in protests and public shows of solidarity. Don’t back down.

Help the homeless. They’ve completely lost their voices and are constantly under attack by NIMBYs and cops, and it’s likely that many people you know right now will be in their position in the future, especially if Trump’s Elected.

Right now, ‘the revolution’ would never come. US citizens are atomized and divided, by highways, suburban sprawl, parking lots, hostile architecture, and the constant crushing weight of capitalist responsibilities. We’ve got to rebuilt the networks of solidarity we had during the union wars. That’s the best way forward to a better US. Unionize, uplift your fellow workers, and keep pushing against the oppressors.

Meat cows specifically should be wiped out for their methane production being so high. I’ve heard that if we managed to stop beef consumption we’d have something like a 10% decrease in emissions just from that alone.

I’m assuming they mean they’re shunning Zionist scientists? I would guess that there are pro-Palestine scientists out there who have Israeli citizenship.

Edit:article is subscription-walled but from what I read it’s specifically that scientists at Israeli institutions are getting dropped in protest.

That being said, using “the final solution” in that context does not look good.

Y’all fight in the streets better than us. We’ve got no leg to stand on.

I think the standard practice is adding “Rockdrop is a facist” to the post title.
