It’s the M/D/Y that sneaks up on me as someone from the rest of the world.
Whenever you’re in the first 12 days of the month, you just don’t know :/
At least with feet and inches I’m quickly prompted to fix it.
Although sometimes, in all the developers wisdom that the only place in the world is the USA, you can’t change it.
The drawbacks are many and the benefits are few.
Watching foreign films would be a pain, where is this in the world again, what does 19:00 mean for them? More exposition, or you just have to guess based on languag and accent.
I need this work done by our team in XYZ country, what are their working hours? (wow, look at that, still using timezones?)
When you arrive somewhere on holiday, now you have to get a sense of the time there. Or continually be thinking “what’s that in my home time?/what’s that in solar time”, which is why solar time just makes more sense.
People aren’t going to stop thinking in solar time, ever. We’re hard-wired to be awake with the sun. It doesn’t matter what the numbers are, you will associate them with the sun. The question then becomes, would we rather all use roughly the same numbers (timezones, what we currently have), or different numbers (everyone using UTC).
Using UTC solves only 1 problem, you can say verbally to someone across the world, let’s make the meeting 15:00 - but this is already easily solved by using a calendar which converts for you…
There’s a reason we have never used a single non-solar time, it’s just worse and I think there’s a reason these posts always end up on programmer focused places on the internet. Yes, I’m sure their job is annoying, and it would be easier to not have to solve time conversion problems, but the time conversion problems wouldn’t even go away if you forced everyone to use UTC. You’d just start having to do conversions to solar time, or looking up waking hours (which is just timezones)
This is a solved problem.
It’s not like AI is a legally defined term anywhere (that I’ve head of). Surely someone will end up suing google for things like this.
So far I’m sensing a food related theme with your sexual conquests
From a different vassal state (Australia), but I think the US is fair game, considering how how many countries are practically beholden to US foreign policy (and straight up meddling, in many, many cases).
Do you reckon humour is ever used as an advanced torture resistance tactic? A very morbid thought, but I now wonder if anyone has ever made their torturers crack up to make them fond of their victim, in order to escape.
I’d be worried of the same outcome as pushing someone’s face into a cake without checking for cake supports.
Random twig in the right orientation, haha there goes your eye.
Problems caught early are much easier to fix than problems caught later. This applies to any project (I’m not a programmer, but an engineer in the traditional sense).
Just “doing it” without coordination and review is a great way to waste a bunch of effort down the line with re-work.
Edit: typo
An email client that can’t open email files? Hmmmmmm.
Is this something to do with the fact it’s routing all emails via Microsoft servers?
I am not a developer
Oh right, yeah. We do this at my company which has operations world-wide. If we say timezone we say UTC±. Apologies for the misunderstanding
My condolences. I’m already annoyed with the times USC units are presented in Australia (our nominal pipe sizes are often talked about in inches, and sometimes valves and such have USC flow coefficients because the manufacturer is American).
So I cannot imagine the pain you must be subjected to.
YYYY.MM.DD and 24 hour for sure.
Everyone using UTC? Nah. Creates more problems than it solves (which are already solved, because you can just lookup what time it is elsewhere, and use calendars to automatically convert, etc.).
I for one do not want to do mental gymnastics /calculation just to know what solar time it is somewhere else. And if you just look up what solar time it is somewhere, we’ve already arrived back at what we’re already doing.
Much easier just looking up what time (solar) time it is in a timezone. No need to re-learn what time means when you arrive somewhere on holiday, no need for movies to spell out exactly where they are in the world whenever they speak about time just so you know what it means. (Seriously, imagine how dumb it would be watching international films and they say: “meet you at 14 o’clock”, and you have no idea what solar time that is, unless they literally tell you their timezone.)
Further, a lot more business than currently would have to start splitting their days not at 00:00 (I’m aware places like nightclubs do this already).
Getting rid of timezones makes no sense, and I do not understand why people on the internet keep suggesting it like it’s a good idea.
Something tells me this isn’t going to fly in Australia, unless they’re willing to be giving out refunds for bricked phones.
I realise I have Google account, convenience at the cost of privacy. Just irks me that it’s not opt in because if it were, their system would be less useful, and we can’t give people informed consent can we…
People’s right to their own personal joys ends at everyone else’s right to safety and not being killed on the road (especially as a pedestrian, like you wouldn’t be able to see shit in this thing).
Drive it only on private property and transport it in suitable truck? Fine
Physiotherapists use a form of acupuncture called dry needling, which can be used to trigger muscle twitching/relaxation (I’m not really super knowledgeable on it, I’ve just been to the physio, who use this in combination with massage, specific exercises etc)
It’s certainly not placebo
As for all the other claims made, I dunno.
You shouldn’t want to be deficient in B12 either way. Go do a blood test to see if you are, and then if yes, just take the recommended dose on the bottle of pills. They’re usually wayyyy higher than the recommended daily intake anyway.
This is assuming that a blood test is affordable where you live.
Not a doctor, not medical advice.
Or Amelia, Melissa or simply just Millie, who’s gonna stop you?
