Did you have any interesting dreams during the nap?

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

I do it a lot due to my sleep being off and due to there not being a lot to do.

The conclusion goes beyond just the background of a lone preacher. I also did explicitly specify that part is not unquestionable, so I’m not sure why the analysis is being mocked as if it were declared finalized. Many alternatives may be argued, though none would seem equally precise/unbiased.

Note I said recorded history, not actual history. I’m well aware the Earth goes back much longer and that the young earth hypothesis is false.

I’m not sure where the parts about the pre-Xia dynasties of China or the Australians always being in Australia come from, unless the latter is a jab at something many may have picked up about me (in which case this is another testament to the demeanors I receive from others).

The eight day system stands out though as it’s the Buddhist equivalent of sabbath. They valued lunar patterns (many went to their mass at night) and moon phases marked temple days, which they based an eight-day division on, while the weird daytime divisions were common in every culture until the clock was invented. The six day week is used because six is the most useful one-digit number when making unitary constructs, not so much with time in particular in mind (whether it divides into 365 was not contemplated anymore than whether the traditional seven does, with the earliest recorded year being rooted in archaeology, though yes it’s not unquestionable except for the fact that the next best conclusion I’m aware of would be that something like the Toba super-eruption should be the starting point, and there is difficulty in that).

The thing about aesthetics is, while things that are useful could be said to be anti-aesthetic, things that are aesthetic could be said to be anti-useful (think handwriting versus print; one is far more practical). Both may be satisfying, but only one can go places. Admittedly it’s a rough balance between natural and mathematical aspects of time, albeit it wouldn’t have it any other way.

I shall call it… the vacuum cleaner!

I wish the same could be said about the locals.

I wish it were this simple. Depending on where one lives here, different forms of yard work are legally encouraged.

It’s mainly for utility; in the case of English, it just fits. Any centralization towards one alternative isn’t intentional.

There’s actually an extra bit of commentary where different alphabets would be seen as fitting the solar cycles of different planets; for example Venus, with a seven-month system, would be associated with the Cyrillic alphabet in the same way. Likewise with Mercury (with a 4-month system) and the Hebrew alphabet, Mars (with a 14-month system) and the Chechen alphabet, and Ceres (with a 58-month system) and the Norwegian alphabet.

It’s most likely an assumption, but if it is, it would be an assumption that’s almost impossible to break, since this involves the self-awareness of records in an area known to have the first records and where those records wouldn’t have as much of a reason to be obscured. The fact that an exact date can be given also gives reason to wonder if there’s a good reasoning behind the date.

Raking leaves ranks up there. Rakes have to be one of the world’s most unreliable yet unquestioned inventions of all time.

I mentalize both systems. Any difficulty is worth it since it has compatibility in mind. It’s the one I use in groups I administer because of this. Doing things the normal way, for a lack of better words, seems and even feels outdatedly/unthinkingly convoluted and skewed, as someone coming from several different backgrounds. The former is also less of a strain (both mentally/technologically) once one becomes accustomed, to put it one way it’s like the Lojban of timekeeping.

Yes, the year right now would be 6265 AR (AR stands for After Records).

In my mode of timing, I personally use the year 4241 BC as my 1 AD as it’s the first year of recorded history. It’s not nationalistic and is something that can be traced back to with precision.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

What kind of viewers wouldn’t notice they’re looking at a burnt steak?

I’d typically have them all ready by now, but I don’t have anyone to give to this year :(

That’s one of those jobs I think everyone would love something to brighten up their day like that.

Why did they need a photo? It seems like an oddly specific way to keep tabs on one-time visitors of that kind.

Hey, they can’t blame you for doing what you were taught.
