Oh yeah, maybe. I don’t really know how you’d measure that.

It was explicitly created to be “TikTok, but on YouTube”. What would you expect?

Jamie being a unisex name, I dunno if “she’s amazing” is the typo or “he is a guest” is.

cheering for a dude hooking up with his aunt.

Which dude, exactly?

Only one example immediately springs to mind, but that hasn’t happened yet in the books. And the way it happened in the show, I’m not sure was executed very well, but I don’t think it was really portrayed as a case where we “cheer for a dude”. He barely seemed into it, definitely not as much as she was.

Like many other admirer’s of Nabokov’s novel of a pedophile who pursues a 12-year-old girl, Rowling loves it for the writing style.

Oh ok, fair enough. Not an especially controversial take.

"There just isn’t enough time to discuss how a plot…becomes…a great and tragic love story

Oh…oh no…

When I hear an American with the caught/cot merger say “caught”, it sounds way more similar to my (unmerged) “cot” than my “caught”

Happy cake day!

Do you have ceiling fans? I honestly have rarely even wanted AC because ceiling fans do such a good job at keeping the place cool up to at least the low 30s, when I’m not headed up from doing exercise.

The reason is that too be a Short it has to be vertical.

YT Shorts are basically just TikTok crossposts anyway

Hey that’s not true! Some of them a small clips from longer main videos.

Yeah same for Australia.

I thought they mostly made money through sponsorships rather than direct payments.

The difference is just another nit pick someone will find excuses to argue over

No, it isn’t. The scientific research actually suggests that keeping DST is worse than switching back and forth. I have to admit I find that confusing, since a lot of the specific studies I’ve looked at concentrate on the effects caused by the switchover itself, but the meta-analysis doesn’t mince words:

In summary, the scientific literature strongly argues against the switching between DST and Standard Time and even more so against adopting DST permanently.

Thank goodness 4-chan is there

Isn’t this Tumblr?

I don’t love the way it has to tear down the other characters in order to prop up the one. Surely the message could have been gotten across in a more wholesome way?

Very popular Netflix show. Other than that, the only thing I know about it is that the paladin in the D&D movie is in it.

To be fair, they did say “and for some a half”.

Though that misses the Kathmandu, Eucla, and Chatham Islands, which are all :45.

Oh, I see. Yeah I suppose it is, now that you point it out. It comes from:

• .gov: the US government
• .nih: the US National Institutes of Health
• .nlm: the National Library of Medicine
• .ncbi: the National Center for Biotechnology Information

But really, I only know it because it’s a very common host that comes up when you’re searching for published research papers. I just see “bunch of Ns .gov” and know it’s reliable.

For what it’s worth, Philly D is someone I could have answered the original question with too. Not for any spectacular reason like the above—I had already stopped watching him before that occurred. For me it was just finding his focus was too much on sensationalist pop culture news rather than news reporting that interested me. He wasn’t doing anything wrong, it just wasn’t right for me.

Yeah you’re absolutely right that it does create a tradeoff. My experience has just been that I’d usually consider it a worthwhile tradeoff. In general, the number of people who have to deal with setting meetings is lower than the number of people who attend meetings, especially when you take into account multinational companies.

And when you’re attending a meeting, you only care about knowing what time it has been scheduled for already. It’s in scheduling that you have to work out when is going to be best for your audience, and I’m of the opinion that the distinction between “what time is this in my time zone and their time zone?” and “where does this time sit in relation to their working day?” is net neutral. With one aspect being a strict positive and the other being a net neutral (in my opinion), I think it still wins out and becomes worthwhile.
