  • Like I said, we need smaller subdivisions than 73 for practical purposes.

    just having 5 season per year and nothing else simply isn’t practical. Imagine having to wait 70 days to the weekend 💀. We need to have a week analog, and no matter what it’s not going to fit cleanly in the seasons.

    Actually, splitting the season into 10 day weeks with a 3 day weekend, and then ending each season with a 3 day holiday could work, not opposed to that lol

    But I don’t like 73, it’s not power of 10 or 12 so it doesn’t fit a decimal it duodecimal metric calendar. The universe sucks for not confirming to the way we order to count.
    I want to have like… A day, a decaday (week), hectoday (season), kiloday (year), megaday (millenium).
    And in the other direction, a day, a deciday (hour), centiday (minute), milliday(second) etc.
    So my plan is to change the orbit and rotation of earth to force reality to match our preferences






  • I thought as much just from playing videogames and knowing how a claymore is supposed to work in the general sense.

    But I would argue that this is poor and ambiguous labeling, but I guess it’s simple enough of a device that it becomes clear anyways. Presumably with opposite labels on the opposite side.

    [This is the] front
    [Point it] towards the enemy

    Vs

    [The] front
    [Should be pointed] towards the enemy

    I imagine someone panicking, not thinking clearly, thinking that an instructional label is on the side they should be looking at, and therefore putting it the wrong way around. Like if there was a sticker on a rifle that said “front towards enemy” you wouldn’t hold the rifle such that the sticker was facing the enemy.

    It takes so little effort to fix ambiguous labeling, it makes me annoyed when it’s not fixed, especially in safety critical situations.


  • Is that text an instruction, or a description?

    Like is that on the back, telling me to point the front towards the enemy?
    Or is this informative, telling me that this IS the front, and that it should be pointed at the enemy instead of me?

    I’d assume they’d put text they want the user to read on the side that should be facing the user, but I get the feeling that that’s not what they did.

    It didn’t have to a URL to an image. It could have been a serial number showing ownership of a thing, etc.

    But block chain isn’t really necessary for a registry, and in the end the money was in scamming people by selling them urls to images.
