Huh.

Leaving with their models, or retiring/returning as someone new?

VShojo's got a tweet about it, I'll find it in a second. They're keeping their models and anything else related to their character, though

Kinda messed up how Merciless is way easier than hard mode

I like it tbh, 3x damage on weaknesses/crits/technicals for everyone in the battle is hype

it's a trick question, the single one is you

It is like you guys think armed bank robbery don't happen outside USA.

Yet somehow other countries still are able to arrest such people.

Oh that is right you guys didn't think very hard....

USA typical "I know very little make me smarter than rest of the world!" illogic

Serious answer: Because the general population has guns. How can a cop safely arrest a guy if the cop has a baton and the guy has a gun?

They should use the baton to parry the bullet

If you're down to emulate something, Wind Waker with a randomizer is a blast. I went through a run recently (first time playing Wind Waker outside of one or two runs I dropped before reaching Dragon Roost) and had a great time.

This OT is nuts

I'm... 90% sure they did a KFP x Haachama Cooking stream once? Might've even been an off collab, I forget

lmao

Fuck yeah, Central Division champs. I'm pumped for this Seattle series

My reads:

Boston in 4
Tampa in 7
Carolina in 6
Jersey in 5
Vegas in 6
Oilers in 5
Avs in 4
Minny in 6

Thx for the tag. Hoping the Stars lose tonight so the Avs can get that top seed

I don't think I'll be getting Nahida this time around (20 more pulls to the 50/50) but that's fine. Kaveh's my top priority rn.

Usually I just bring a portable console to game on. I was on a plane a few days ago actually, spent the ride playing a Link to the Past randomizer on my 3DS

Nah TC he deserved that, anyone who eats shit while trying to show off for the camera earns whatever happens to them. Doubly so if they're as stupid as this guy

You cared enough to comment, if you get out of your way to tell you don't give a f***, that's actually giving a f***... at least in my books.

Me? I got into here thinking it would be at least interesting. Got intrigued by title, saying our time perception is weird and was waiting something else other than simply telling a specific event was "only" several million seconds or several hundred days ago.

As Einstein would say, time is relative. So it's not really measurable. I was expecting some kind of discussion pointing to that, but maybe my expectations were too high.

Now, reading topic title and reading what TC actually wrote, he seems a little bit confused. His topic title should be "Our method to measure our time perception is weird". It actually is based on a system developed by Sumerians over four thousand years ago.

This system would use a sexagesimal (base 60) system. No one is sure why to this day, but it's believed it's because 60 is convenient for expressing fractions. Sixty is the smallest number divisible by first six counting numbers and by 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30 as well. Sumerians used this system to base their calculations on astronomy (among other things). Said system was passed on from Sumerians to Babylonians, who then passed this system to Greeks later on. Keep that in mind.

First civilization to come up with the hour concept were Egyptians. They had a system based on a sundial for counting hours during the day and observing stars for counting hours during the night.

Day time was split into 12 parts because they used finger joints to count. For nights, they used a system based on observing stars and their positions. First they used 18 stars as reference (12 for total darkness and 3 for each twilight period). That means days would have 12 hours and nights 18. Later on, Egyptians updated this system to use only 12 stars as reference at nights, so both days and nights would have same amount of hours. This system was somewhat flawed though. Hours would be much shorter / longer during days or nights based on what season they were in.

But now, about a thousand years later, comes the Greek.

An astronomer named Eratosthenes used that sexagesimal system to divide a circle into 60 parts, as early geographic system of latitude consisting in horizontal lines through known places on Earth at the time. About a hundred years later, another astronomer named Hipparchus standardized latitude lines by making them parallel and proportional to Earth's geometry, also coming up with longitude lines encompassing 360 degrees. Based on that, Hipparchus also suggested splitting days into 24 equinoctial hours, based on those latitude / longitude coordinates he had just came up with, so hours would no longer vary in duration based on season, as Egyptians had.

A few decades after Hipparchus work, Claudius Ptolemy (an Egyptian astronomer, mathematician, and geographer of Greek descent) expanded on Hipparcus work. He subdivided each of the 360 degrees of latitude and longitude into smaller segments (60 parts each), then subdivided each of those smaller segments into 60 parts each. First division was named partes minutae primae (first minute), known simply as the "minute", while second segmentation, partes minutae secundae, (second minute), became known as the "second". However, hours were still not divided into minutes and minutes into seconds initially for time keeping purposes.

This would become standard time measurement only by the end of 16th century (almost 1600 years later) with the invention of the mechanical clock, in order to keep all clocks adjusted, minutes (1/60 hours) and seconds (1/60 minutes) were used as reference, thus standardizing time measurements as we know them today.

This leads us to modern days, where scientific advancements made us change how seconds are defined. Instead of using the definition of 1/60 minutes to tell what a second is, International System of Units (SI) had other definitions which were than changed in 1967. That was when a second was redefined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 energy transitions of the cesium atom.
Said definition still persists and governs how we measure time today. Atomic timekeeping allowed Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). But then there's one interesting fact about atomic time and UTC...in order to keep atomic time in agreement with astronomical time, leap seconds need to be added to UTC occasionally. Even though our time measurement has never been so precise and standardized, even so not all minutes contain 60 seconds. About eight minutes per decade actually contain 61 seconds instead.

Why did I take the time to search and share all this? Working. Hardware upgrades on some servers. Waiting folks to reboot the servers after hardware upgrades just so I can do my thing on software side. Adding some information to this topic, so now whoever comes here do know how our time is defined and measured.

But why is a year 365 days? Why 12 months in a year? Why some have 30 days, others 31 and February has only 28? Why leap years exist? I'll leave those questions unanswered for now, as first server is coming back up and I need to start working.

Does this even matter? I live in a town where all you can possibly do for entertainment is weed and surfing and I've never even heard of someone changing in the nude, let alone seen it myself. Everyone just wraps a towel around themself and it's fine

Chipotle's decent but QDoba's just better in every conceivable way

I lost some faith in humanity when egirls started doing sleeping streams.

They're literally donating money and watching girls sleep. Kinda makes you nervous about the future.

In defense of sleeping streams, knowing that the streamer is asleep makes the chat way less creepy and therefore way more likely to start up bizarrely entertaining conversations amongst themselves. I remember pulling up a sleeping stream once out of curiosity and the chat had just been discussing Filipino candies the entire time

lmao what is she doing

It doesn't make sense to call him Bob, you don't know him like that.

Squidward and I are on real good terms, he lets me call him Squiddy

cause girls is players too

Gen Z's just growing up in a time where tech is very accessible and very easy to use. Most people don't need to spend hours tinkering with random programs just to make them work on their PC, since everything just works as intended, and therefore they don't understand as much about how it works. It's not that much of a problem imo-- the people who care will learn anyway and those who don't care aren't forced to borderline become tech support pros just so their shit works.

Yeah, they've gotten a little too deep into the experimental gimmick phase with the last few. Motion controls, breakable weapons made of paper mache, it's all doing more harm than good.

I mean, Zelda's been pretty expiremental with all of it's games since the jump to 3D.
-OOT pioneered a whole genre, even if it's pretty basic
-Majora's Mask was pretty similar but threw in the mask gimmick
-Windwaker turned the series' artstyle on it's head and put the player into a massive ocean
So on and so forth
