This is basically the same system as the regular 12:00 clock except noon and midnight are 00:00 instead of 12:00.
Seems functionality the same to me.
24 hour is the only way. If only I could convince people to stay saying “15 O’Clock”. That would be neato. People know what it is, just not used to it
Last I checked you can only thread a conversation one level down from the channel and that’s it (when I last used it like 5 years ago).
To me that’s practically unusable for what it’s supposed to be. Slack even does a better job, in my opinion.
I find Australia’s travel advice contradictory.
No offence to people living in the US, but I’d say most people in Australia would think many places in the US are not generally as safe as here.
For political reasons (we are the US’ vassals, see $300 bn submarines), we will likely hold out a long time before heightening headline travel advice, but to me some of the advice given does not fall under the category of exercising “normal safety precautions” as is claimed by DFAT:
Violent crime is more common in the United States than in Australia. Gun crime is also prevalent. If you live in the United States, learn and practice active shooter drills.
There is a persistent threat of mass casualty violence and terrorist attacks in the United States. Be alert, particularly in public places and at events.
Practicing active shooter drills isn’t normal. At all.

This sounds like a great way to get innocent people killed
Because Australia were mega fans, so they invited us :3
I agree 13 -19 in English are out of place, and 11-12 are left over from duodecimal, however changing some spoken order is way less cursed that doing fraction multiplication.
I for one, would love if we started saying ten-one, ten-two, etc.
This small part of Danish is definitely fair game to tease. It’s all in good fun!

I hate that saying “they are fascists” is not at all in the slightest hyperbole :(
WTF is this timeline?
Hmmm, I better send a suggestion letter to the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) to put the tax bracket breakdown directly into your return with the amounts populated.
Hey, they give us a breakdown graph of where our tax is going, this seems like it’s within the realm of possibility.
I think sadly there are also many people here who have no idea how tax brackets work…
As someone who prefers not to drive where possible, and in a country where manual for regular cars is not common, why do people think manual is so great?
Gives you some more control on your gears, sure. But heck, the only time I ever, ever need it is going up or down very steep hills - for which there are low gear settings on most cars which you can switch on for those moments.
For most people, it’s just a massive waste of time to learn, when an engineered solution already exists and presumably doesn’t add significant enough cost to be worth not having it (I assume, because of the lack of demand, here).
Is it just, for the “love of driving”? Okay fair enough, but that’s your hobby then, not sure why we need to like it also
In any case, do enlighten me because I don’t get it haha
And if anyone doing these illegal deportations is tried, and even convicted, the president can just pardon them.
Presidential pardons are dumb and were always waiting to be abused, change my mind.
Why does this exist lol
This is me. I’ve always been too lazy to switch (I have some of the worst hardware for it. I’m running my old surface pro into the ground and have hardly any internal storage so hard to dual boot for testing).
But now, well hey, Windows 11 is stupid, windows 10 has been spying since forever.
Linux it is, thanks Microsoft for giving me the push I needed.
You know, later in the year. When I have to.
I’m only human
People are going to die because they’ll have a heart attack or something while exerting themselves at work…
What a nightmare :/
Thanks for the summary! I’m not using conservative in the US sense (which yeah, doesn’t really have left-wing parties with any power), but more as a catch all for parties in the anglosphere such as: Australia: Liberal/National, UK: The Tories and I suppose for NZ: the Nationals and ACT.
They’re practically aligned on most policies whenever I hear about each.
Just thought: there’s no way a left-leaning party would think of rolling back something as obvious as making wage theft a crime.
And I’m not surprised I guessed right haha
The difference is locks on doors truly are just security theatre in most cases.
Unless you’re the BiLock and it takes the LockPickingLawyer 3 minutes to pick it open.
and current parties are discussing rolling them back to ‘support small businesses’ from having to do that
Having not looked into the current parliament (I’m from Australia), let me guess, the conservatives?
Luckily for you that’s the iso standard haha
I wouldn’t mind if it could be kept on the same line, but I don’t believe there is a non-breaking hyphen in unicode.
You can insert non-breaking hyphens into MS Office programs like word though. Very useful if you’re an engineer and writing out tags in reports all the time (and dislike when they get broken across lines).
The actual print character is a normal hyphen, though.
Thanks for reading my pedantic preferences haha
I have one, and that they do, except for the people trying to sneak a glance of the time haha. “Huh?”
I rather love mine, to me there’s little reason to prefer a 12 hour clock when you have minute and second hands on the 24 also (my version does, it’s not a “slow watch”)
