Youre choosing to be esoteric.

You’re of course right. I was being a little facetious. I think it’s really just naps that have woken me to absolutely zero idea what time it is. My teenage bedroom had a window in shade with the blinds closed.

Hearing aids are such a QoL improvement once people admit they need them. There’s so much noise in the world that gets lost with age/damage. My dad got less irritable because he could actually understand normal talking levels. He definitely noticed some “new” noises in his house like yours did.

But now I have a new issue. I can hear him breathing and chewing through his own hearing aids since they’re cranked to 11. Whatever, I’ll take it.

You didn’t even have to read the article, just the excerpt from OP. “students are taught to read analog clocks in first and second grade in city public schools”.

5 in my winter is about the same.

Same shit, different Gen. The sundialists hated mechanical clocks, too.

the only clocks I have on display in my house are analog

That’s a choice. You don’t have to have any analog clocks. I don’t currently have any. I dislike decorational clocks and strictly have digital clocks as informational devices where I want the time at a glance. Not to mention, I have 4 appliances in the kitchen with digital clocks (oven, microwave, drip coffee, keurig). Meanwhile, I absolutely hate audible ticking, so the only analogs I’ve bought are watches.

Also, as a former child, I can tell you children do not know what time it is. I also had digital clocks available the whole time, ranging from my dad’s “James Bond” Casio, to the VCR flashing 12:00 all the time. Mostly, the pale teal VFD type.

It doesn’t make sense to think of reading an analog clock as a necessary skill. It’s like driving a manual car. Can you? I do it daily. I can count on one hand the number of times being able to drive stick saved me in an emergency situation by being the only transmission available (it’s a closed fist). All the same, I have never been in an emergency situation that was dependent on my ability to read an analog clock

I’m wondering the same. Like was it really some standard cut and paste work and then some generative fill? It’s got a certain 00s vintage look to it like it’s not current interpretations of “AI” with text prompt input.

Imagine he does run down there after losing the next election. He screams, “you can’t make me leave!”

And then they just leave him there, power on, data cords cut, so he can still push the buttons that make the screens blink

No, but she’s not in Bill’s go-to age range. Guess that wasn’t the clear intent

Stop blaming women for aging

It’s not safe to have the motor block in front. It can be shoved into the cabin and gasoline is ready to ignite on hot exhaust or sparks if the fuel line is ruptured.

It’s a picture comparing faces with comments talking about faces. Faces on actors are an important aspect. Faces do the talking. This isn’t your “gotcha” moment unless your goal is to debate in bad faith. Holding someone to your beauty standards is no different than someone adhering to someone else’s beauty standards

That’s not wildly different. Different hair, plumped lips, heavier eye makeup, a decade of age.

Your face probably isn’t your moneymaker, then

They’re not calling people dumb for not knowing, they’re calling them dumb for not investigating. If you hear a wild claim, you should investigate. This shouldn’t still work because most of us here know it’s been a running joke for at least 20 years in the US with continuous anti-Muslim and anti-middle-easter/Arabic sentiment and bills post 9/11.

It shouldn’t be incredibly confusing, either. It’s fine to not automatically know that Amerocan/English refers to “western Arabic numerals” as simply “Arabic numerals” in shorthand. I didn’t. That’s why I briefly researched it when you said you had a different set of numerals in a region. Since I don’t know exactly what to look for to validate my own searches, I genuinely asked you if what you learned matched what was in the Wikipedia page. I have no direct experience.

People use shorthand all the time. It makes things confusing. I didn’t know a “convection oven” was actually a “forced convection oven” until this year. In my head, it wasn’t something I ever questioned because all my ovens have had the primary heater at the bottom, meaning convection would carry hot air upwards. Turns out, FCOs have a fan at the top to force better circulation. Surprise, this revolution of air fryers? They’re just countertop [forced] convection ovens. Similarly, I have a gripe with people customizing cars with “coilovers”. The majority of cars already have coil[spring]-over-[shock]s, but what they mean is “adjustable coilovers”. It’s a carryover from when cars did NOT have the various coilover designs as standard. Shocks outside coil springs, leaf springs, torsion springs, etc.

Looking at Wikipedia, we’re talking about western Arabic numerals in Europe/USA (TIL). Did you use one of the versions listed here as Eastern arabic numerals? Briefly reading the history, eastern is more common across modern Arabic regions.

So you changed your argument? You originally said the seats don’t cost more, but now you’re saying everyone is a moron for not choosing the package that flatten seat cost? Even though you checked every flight from both airlines in every country they operate to ensure that, by undeniable fact, seats in a particular row are a flat cost?

You asked where, we showed you where. Imagine arguing that a la carte chocolate mousse doesn’t cost more than vanilla ice cream because you could have chosen all-you-can-eat at the start
