Well, the result of railroads needing to standardize time tables.
Prior to that, towns had their own local time, and often it was approximate at best, based on a guy looking at a shadow and keeping time with inaccurate tools.
Imagine trying to explain to the people of Bumblefuck, IA that the train departs Nowheresville, IA at 10:30, and is a 30 minute trip, but the train arrives in Bumblefuck at 10:52 because the town clock is the one guy that winds his watch every day.
In which case it’s just a 3D crocodile. 4D crocodile? It’s a beefy necked crocodile, OK?
Don’t sleep on aspirin and netti pot.
At some point blowing your noise over and over leads you to to basically harm your sinuses and swelling that makes it hard to breathe.
Source: had to do it literally this morning. Worked all day.
Also, avoid inflammatory things like tons of carbs, delicious red meat, whiskey, and beer, etc.
Aw, dammit. See, I would have showed up as late to that party as if I had done it today.
I wouldn’t try and prove anything.
I would “invent” a few basic tchotchkis and nick-nacks to get money, then out to California ahead of the Gold Rush Hollywood? to …something, I dunno, and buy land.
Invent a couple variations on heat pumps and electric motors. By 1928 sail away to New Zealand.
Yeah, it’s a big part of why I stopped participating in reddit. Any hobby or skill subreddit has driven off anyone truly knowledgeable and is a constant flood of images of someone doing the “Fisher Price My First _____” level thing and a title like "guys, am I doing this right? :3” for karma. Actual questions bring out toxic opinion-farmers. It’s pointless.
There’s actually several overlapping societal issues at play.
First, a distrust of experts. Especially doctors unless it’s doctors giving away medical advice or confirming biases like “sure, you like butter? Im a doctor, butter makes you healthy. Eat more butter.”
Next, both the availability of research and experiences online does mean it IS actually easier to find, validate for yourself, and share knowledge. But thats also mixed up in people that feel close enough to knowledgeable experts after dabbling in something 2 or 3 times.
Both of these things are also in the context of, for lack of a better term, the overall entitlement of people online to seek and deserve to find easy solutions that make them feel good. So when experts chime in with technical, rational, or sophisticated options that truly are better, they might expect to get blasted as “gate keeping” and be disincentivized from being post of a community, leaving the sophomoric “I’m no expert” crowd as the loudest group that’s barely competent enough to impress newbies and no one else.
Well, you do use it, but just the one time.
Lived in West Africa. 14 was common, with a few “promised” kids as low as 8/9/10. To dudes in their 30s and 40s.
But hey, the US has this all the time, and is no better than developing countries in some states.
Mon Dieu, qui voudrait supprimer le pack de langue française ?
Was sadly on Windows without my explicit consent :(
To be fair, the way I would get around the URL blocker at work for some basic 10 minute diversion type games would be up just have Gemini code a game for me and run it locally.
Terrible. It’s a feature, not a bug.
The point in not remembering past lives is that each life is supposed to be full of learning and growing and experiences that aren’t weighed down and tainted by the egos of past incarnations.
Imagine having been an illiterate miner in the Old West that lives to 95, then showing up with that perspective in the 80s. You’d simply be a cantankerous Luddite set in old ways. Note do that over and over and over.
It’s a joy to shed the ego.

Literally dozens of us.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a hard sell for a font.
Yeah, I have an old SSD in an SSK container and that’s where I’ve banished windows to. As long as GRUB can find the right drive and system partition, it’s not hard.
Nice try, pickpocket on the metro
How dare it work!
This really fails to acknowledge the hodegpode, anything goes chaos that was towns choosing their own noon based around someone with a watch and a bell looking at the shadow on a stick a few times a year.
Sometimes standardization isn’t simply a terror induced by capitalism, and has accrual benefits.
