You're off by 384 seconds, so your redefinition of the subdivisions of a day have changed the duration of all the units: hours, minutes and seconds.

60 minutes in an hour is more convenient anyway because 60 has more factors than 64 (12 vs 7), including both 3 and 4, which are perhaps the most useful two.

I'm Gen X and I haven't worn a wrist watch since about 2001. It didn't mean I became unpunctual and unreliable or had no idea of the time. It did get easier when I eventually got a mobile phone about half a decade later, not that I was particularly bothered in the meanwhile. I can't stand watches: they're hot, sweaty, uncomfortable and constantly catch on things when I'm working. The only time I wear a watch is when I'm running, and then it comes off as soon as I finish.

Sounds like somebody was playing politics. Lots of places see children going to school and coming home in the dark in winter and theyâ(TM)re not dying or being injured en masse.

Seconds already are an SI unit. To have metric time, youâ(TM)d have to adjust the duration of seconds. Youâ(TM)ll still need to have leap seconds because the Earthâ(TM)s rotation is slowing.

Give me the Netscape pulsing N. Everything will be ok then.

Thank god for Safari on iOS; itâ(TM)s the only thing stopping the world going completely Google/Chrome.

Re-writing software is expensive. At best, it introduces new issues and denies you time to work on improvements. This Rust thing sounds like politics or religion, which is very naive when it comes to software development.

You realise youâ(TM)re talking to a Canadian, not a Yank?

Getting preggers in space? It puts a new spin on the mile high club.

I'm not sure how this all works if there are exams where you sit down with a pen and paper. Do they still do those? Anybody who has shortcutted on coursework will instantly fail.

How does that happen - lack of external moderation?

You don't even need to learn a foreign language if you're an English speaker at some very good universities in Germany.

Thereâ(TM)s a thriving community for everyone if you can find it the channel, all hidden away from the echo chamber.

Finding a secret space full other like-minded people sounds exactly like an echo chamber. Sometimes there is just an incredibly small percentage of people that have certain opinions, but when put together from all of the world, the numbers and lack of alternative voices can give the false impression of normalcy.

Polonium tea and other forms of chemical terrorism like novichok are not limited to attacking people in just Russia. Oligarchs have also had strange accidents and unexpected heart attacks in other countries too.

As a Briton, I don't recognise anything you just said. I think I can disagree with every sentence you wrote.
