This is actually my plan for abandoning DST: Flux-time. With DST we also abandon the fixed second. This way we can make it so that the sun always rises at 6:00 and always sets at 22:30, while noon is always 12:00. That way everyone is happy!
The duration of a second changes depending on where you are, where you are going, throughout the year and even throughout the day. Office and school hours will be longer in summer, shorter in winter.
It's not math I could do in my head, but everyone has a smart phone these days.

How is this not a garbled mess?!

Android 12 has a "feature" that allows you to easily pocket dial the emergency number. By default, the touch screen remains active for 5 seconds after the screen turns off.

Since I upgraded from Android 11 to 12, I suddenly started dialing 112 (emergency number in Europe) about once a week. My default workflow (check phone, push power button, put in pocket) left the touch screen on for a full 5 seconds. Looking though the settings, I finally found this en set it to 0 seconds. Not a single emergency call since.

It's ridiculous to assess these costs in isolation. What will be the cost of allowing carbon to enter the air unregulated. The cost of doing nothing is worse than the cost of fixing it. Also, for those proposing nuclear: Fukushima. Still not solved. They are now dumping radioactive water into the ocean.

I don't know about Autopilot, but cruise control in the model 3 will certainly accelerate to speeds above where it was set if the car thinks the speed limit has changed. Example from the one time I was a passenger in a Tesla: driving through a construction zone where 90 km/h was allowed and set for the cruise control the car suddenly decided the limit was 40, slammed on the brakes, then decides it's actually 130 and starts accelerating hard until it notices the car in front and hits the brakes again. Not behaviour I would have expected from cruise control, nor an experience I would have enjoyed if I had been behind the wheel myself.

I printed this one and put it up on the wall at work: oblig xkcd ref.

Honest question: why can't you hold your wrists like you would on these split keyboards when using a regular keyboard?

The ultimate consequence of this quote always seems to me that everything is very probably possible.

Also ditch AM and PM! The day has 24 hours, why start over after 12?

Yes, continental-scale famine. Because rice is a crucial food source. Unlike mosquitoes, which is, according to the same poster not the question to ask. But he then refutes this statement by going into an example of a crucial food source.

Are you saying that rice is a crucial food source for humans?

4000 a week is rather a lot more than 8000 a month.

The moment Burger King announced they were executing a Tax Inversion with the Canadian company Tim Horton's, they went from my favorite fast food to the subject of a lifetime boycott of their business by myself. By doing the inversion, they externalized their costs on the American tax payers. I have not set foot in one of their restaurants since then. Never again will I do so. They have the right to run their business how they see fit and I have the right to vote with my feet.
