  • The phrase "edited it" is soo weird to pronounce

    Jump

  • The fact that five of the "hads" are not semantically the word "had" but rather a quotation makes this one weaker than "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" imo, though you could argue that Buffalo as a proper noun is also kinda cheating.

  • Tell me about the last sandwich you ate.

  • It was my midnight snack while working on a project:Hawaiian roll, slice of cheese, pesto.I can only recommend it if you got the Hawaiian rolls and cheese for free, which was the case for me.

  • In the original picture I could only ever see white & gold, but in this photo you post I can see either way.

  • 6/4 sounds great. I think 3/2/3/2 is also an option, or if there's one more work day, maybe 3/1/4/2. If only five days of work, we could try the most radical 1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1 (work every other day). 5/5 is actually pretty reasonable and maybe my favorite. It's actually pretty workable for employers too because if you need someone working every day, it's simple to just hire two people. Makes it easier for everybody, and doesn't it sound great to have three 5 day breaks every month?

    I think the biggest advantage to a 10 day week is really just that it accommodates more variation in schedule, and not every person or every industry has to have the same work week. It certainly helps being an even number, so scheduling anything for every other day is easier.

    I'm actually so down for calendar reform but it seems like it's probably an impossible task.

  • Yeah unless it comes with 5-day weekends 😢

  • I really like the idea of 10 days because of where weeks come from. In many languages, the names of days trace back to major celestial bodies (Sun, Moon, and the five planets). This is very obvious in English with Sunday (Sun), Monday (Moon), and Saturday (Saturn) but less obvious with other days because the names were converted into Germanic gods (Thursday = Thor's day, though the planet should be Jupiter).

    Well now that we know there's two more planets: Uranus and Neptune, and the Earth is also a planet... it would kinda make sense to add 3 more days to the week for Uranus, Neptune, and Earth.

    The actual French republican calendar just uses numbered days ie primidi, duodi, tridi similar to Chinese and Portuguese but imo that's so boring.

  • They did not have a 31st day and neither did they have a January. Rather, the day that we call January 31 was the 12th day of Pluviôse and also had its own name "Broccoli"

  • If you don't know where a movie/show/book/game takes place, where do you assume it takes place?

    Jump

  • Good question. Really depends on what it is, I think. I just watched the movie Melancholia which is pretty ambiguous about its setting. I was wavering between US and UK based on the accents, but I think in the back of my head I kinda assumed vaguely East Coast -ish.

  • What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?

    Jump

  • I stopped playing it after the credits rolled only for someone to tell me there's a secret Act 3 if you do some really specific stuff. I don't really care for games that require guides, especially if they gate a bunch of content behind it, so I never came back to it.

    However, I did enjoy the first two acts of Silksong much more than the first game. I was never a big fan of Hollow Knight and considered it among the worst of popular metroidvanias. But Silksong was pretty good outside of the fetch quests. Unlockable alternate move sets was probably my favorite bit

  • I love Chipotle. Maybe it's just the locations near me, but the quality is good and prices are not as high as some others in the thread say; certainly not $20. Maybe $11 or $12, and for a really big meal.

    Unfortunately I stopped eating there when I stopped shopping at Target, when they got rid of their DEI policies in clear capitulation to MAGA. Plenty of places with comparable quality & price that at least try not to do hiring discrimination

  • Why can't we (states) ignore clock changes without the federal government? The federal government doesn't seem to care about standing laws.

  • being the only one not to switch is also painful, possibly more than just switching.

    As an Arizonan, I disagree with this point. I don't really experience any downsides with not switching and I think very few people would.
