I used math tricks at first. But honestly, just switching even one clock like your watch or phone makes it pretty easy over time.
1pm is easy to remember as it’s 13, a prime number
7x2 = 14(00)
3x5= 15(00)
4x4 =16(00)
5pm is 17, also a prime.
6x3 = 18(00)
7pm is also a prime, 19(00).
20, 21, 22, 23, and 00 also have math tricks, but you can also just remember that after 8pm, you have less than four hours till midnight :)
That owl looks so mad, haha.
12 hour time is an inferior standard, and we should be on 24 hour time so developers don’t ever default to 12 hour time. Way too many instances of mission critical things getting swapped on am/pm by mistake. That is never a problem with 24h time.
You will never clog a toilet if you get a bidet. Putting tons of TP in is how you get clogs.
McCarthy really fucked it all up for us in 1954 with the lavender and red scares. That helped set the stage for those later cunts.
I want the next one to be rotated, but still in portrait. Giant black bars on the sides, and the print is tiny. Like full screening a badly edited video.
Oh God, that sounds awful. The worst we’ve ever had was ants, which are gross but manageable with some bait traps.
I don’t trust Trump to execute it properly, tbh.
Honestly though, anti-missile shields are something we (humanity) needs. Any moron these days can throw it all away in a suicidal instant, now that Putin started a new war and now we have a bunch of smaller wars all over.
But DART showed the promise of orbital defenses, and I’d rather we have some semblance of countermeasures against large meteors, which this is a step towards doing. (Still, climate change is the existential threat that the entire world should be focusing on)
30 is hot, 20 is nice, 10 is cool, 0 is ice.
Honestly, with metric, 24 hour time and celcius, the easiest way to learn is just to switch to it completely.
I’m in an imperial country and still switched over to metric/24h/c just because it makes a lot more sense for most personal stuff. It’s been enough years that I know much of it just ambiently. I prefer it, tbh.
Can we freeze someone else? I think we could fix things tbh.
Low key the cornerstone of modern civilization. Imagine a city where the streets are awash in millions of people’s shit/piss, the water is heavily contaminated, and everyone is constantly getting fecal-oral diseases and cannot work or be healthy much of the time. Even when they are healthy, they might have to stay home and take care of sick family members.
What happened to him in the end? I remember her sacrificing herself to the winter, but all I remember is Geralt living and then the post game DLC. Maybe I got the really weird ending, haha
Yeah, repairability is key!
Whatever you get, do lots of research on repairability. How easy is it to get replacement batteries? Are they using a proprietary charger with 5 pins, or an open source standard like XLR? Do they reuse battery standards like Juiced, or do they build proprietary batteries for each bike and generation?
Can it be serviced at bike shops (Aventon, Juiced, Grintech) or does it have things like proprietary bike spokes that take weeks to ship (ride1up)? How long do they plan on producing parts, like motors, sensors, etc. (if they are julet connectors, there might be aftermarket solutions)
These are the sorts of questions you may want to ask sellers when doing test drives at local ebikes shops, or online bike sellers.
As for recommendations, I really like the NYT’s recommendation on the Haul ST:
https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-ebike-for-commuters/
If you can find a Juiced Ebike, I can also recommend them. They were recently bought out by Lectric. I have nearly 2,000 miles on my RipRacer and love it.
I hope Denver beefs up their protected bike lane infrastructure significantly.
In my experience, people DGAF about warnings, but will stay off sidewalks if there are safer options. Keep bikes/scooters out of sidewalks, peds and joggers out of bike lanes, and cars out of business/bike/ped areas, which should be at least 30% of your city.
The insurance people declined my claim because it wasn’t parked behind a locked door. My fault that I didn’t read the terms properly.
Insurance is a scam.
800 million dollars? They raised $800,000,000 and it’s still in alpha? What the fuck.
Also, I hate the trend of content such as ships releasing as a paid DLC, then later as an in-game grind. In the olden days, the ships were free in games like Elite. The only thing that cost money was actual DLC expansions. That trend was probably spearheaded by star citizen devs :p
DOOM 16 was fantastic, but eternal felt gross. It was a huge step back from 2016, and didn’t feel fun. I’m not bothering with the newer games since they essentially are going off gimmicks.
