It was a joke actually. In all seriousness I am actually really good with my indicators, especially as I have 2 sons who have either recently got their license or are working towards it. They are more than happy to point out even the slightest error.
This just made me think, why haven’t those damn commie Europeans with their fancy metric system come up with a better system for measuring time yet?
People like to talk a lot of shit about how subjective the definitions for an inch or a mile are, but I never hear complaints about how a second or an hour are antiquated and based on things that only make sense from an Earth-centric point of view.
I just feel like someone be mad at Americans for still using hours (ugh, trivially decided on the amount of time it takes the Earth to rotate) and not something like the amount of time it takes for 1 kilogram of water to decay via natural radiation when under a vacuum.
By the way, before downvoting, this post is heavy with /s in case it wasn’t obvious.
Edit: I just looked up the formal definition of a second and it is “the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom”.
It’s all so arbitrary is funny. People get so passionate, but then I’ll bring up,“Why aren’t we using Swatch Time?” Or, why don’t we have 13 months of exactly 28 days (With a bonus vacation day or two)?
They’ll usually fall back on what people are used to or tradition or something that just supports staying on imperial measurements. To be clear, I don’t give a shit what measurement system is used. It’s not like it takes a big brain to figure out what is going on when you travel.
So long as you don’t have to redo the whole thing after it’s over, that wouldn’t annoy me as much.
Especially since whenever I have to do the picture captchas where you gotta make sure there are no images of whatever, while using TOR, it’ll make me do it again at least once or twice and is slow to load up said images.
Everything seem to be neat but there is just one thing i couldnt bare with, please place play buttons icon just a bit right, i am sure it is in the center but since the left part is bigger it may seem better if it is near to right
And for anyone who thinks CSS isn’t a real programming language, you’re wrong because it’s Turing complete. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to develop an app in Pokemon Yellow and PowerPoint.
