Well a lot of them run through more or less suburban areas. So doing it there would have lower environmental impact while greatly raising awareness of how many pipelines run through populated places.
With that way of thinking any hate group can just remove every useful word by simply misusing it and having hapless people carry water for them trotting out the ole "language is mutable" line.
And for those wondering, it's just a very slightly better version of Bud and only then if it's really fresh. After two weeks on the shelf they're equally shitty.
Time up to days isn't even that bad - it's just base 60 because we get that part from ancient Mesopotamians who liked base 60 for the same reasons people like 12 (but maybe went a little overboard?). Since 12 is a factor of 60, going to base 12 would make hours-minutes-seconds jive better with other numbers. Only changing to base 12, a half day would be written as 10 hours, full day 20 hours. An hour as 50 minutes. A minute as 50 seconds.
I think there's no helping higher than that - there's no relation between months and days or months and years - they're separate cycles that we just smushed together one day and refuse to separate. And days and years aren't related in a convenient integer. Some things would coincidentally work out - 2 years could be written as 20 months - but for the most part there's no way to line it up nicely.
I'm happy with my current liver, thanks.
