Okay, now I really want to try Chartreuse

Setting this hilariously stupid debate aside, it really is inconvenient the week has 7 days.

We humans are creatures of habit, and like to do things on the same days every week - either because regularity helps our schedule, or simply because we’re all perhaps a little OCD.

I personally wash my hair “every other day” so to keep a fixed weekly schedule I have to either miss two days in a row (not happening) or wash two in a row (which is what I do)

So I totally understand the desire to want “every other day” things on the same days of the week AND still also perfectly spaced, even though that is an impossibility.

It’s just that tiniest bit unsatisfying.

Google actually doing something good for once?

Oh, right. Not being able to press back prevents you going back to google.

Beautiful and thought-provoking show written by the same guy who did character design for the more famous Serial Experiments Lain.

It’s been a very long time, I really should give it a rewatch.

12:30PM means 30 minutes after 12-noon.

Anyone saying that and meaning the middle of the night is just wrong, and if that’s a genuine thing people do it would drive me quite mad.

30 minutes after midnight is 12:30AM

It’s naming them for a supposed ‘virtue’ it may be hoped they possess.

Same deal as naming girls Grace, Charity, Faith etc. All are ‘virtue’ names.

I personally dislike it, but it’s pretty well-established.
