the authors barely disguised fetish
actually, it is. let me explain.
Let's simplify and say that there are peak hours and low hours. 100 people call during a peak hour, and 25 during a low hour. The chance of calling during a peak hour is 80%, since you are four times as likely to be one of the 100 rather than one of the 25.
The same effect means that you are almost always on planes and trains that are very full, even though every now and then they ride almost empty. Fewer people get to experience empty train rides by definition.
Of course this effect falls apart when your usage patterns differ from everybody else's. If everybody takes the train at rush hour, you might ride an empty one at noon. Or, if you call the hotline while everybody else is sleeping, you might have a better chance.
But yeah companies also just lie to make themselves look better lol
Ugh baby, cocaine in the yacht jacuzzi again? Cant we stay at home one weekend?
It's that phenomenon where people who endured trauma to attain something expect others to also endure the trauma.
I've tried learning GIMP, and it sucks. I'm not saying GIMP sucks, but you have to be crazy to not see that it's hard to learn.
Did not expect Spain on this list, good for them!
As a German I was wondering how the Red Army Faction time-travelled to WW2.
Turns out RAF = Royal Air Force
which, confusingly enough, is a linux subsystem under windows. The name sounds like the opposite.
These things are dangerous. This person is using it at a safe distance but you can blind somebody at close range. Either that or the camera is insanely good lol
Flaws:
- fails to address leap years
- fails to address 365th day
- moon cycle will still slowly deviate
- retains clunky 7-day week that doesn't interact will with decimal counting system
I like it, but I got an even better proposal. Weeks should have ten day weeks, and each month should have 3 weeks. summer/winter solstice and the spring/autumn equinox as well as new years day are special holidays that fall between months and interrupt the week cycle. In leap years, new years is two days.
The 1st, 11th and 21st of each month are now Mondays, so you can tell the weekday of any date. Months are the same length just like in Jesse's proposal, but an even 30 instead of a clunky 28.
I've thought about this a lot
The original is funny, what's the joke about "I'm never leaving" ? never leaving twitter?
I'd be more interested in why than how
Kanye is crazy racist and has been for a while, I don't think anybody here disagrees
