  1. Finally, you get my FULL mathematical conceptualization of a 1:1 conversion between Eorzean calendar dates and Gregorian calendar dates.

    Enjoy! (Or if you hate math, suffer!) But with love. 💙

    EDIT: TFW you find you redefined a word instead of explaining it.

    Oops, and fixed! The key moment:

    • True mathematical randomness: quarter lands on heads 100 times in a row with low probability but zero shame

    • Lived experience of randomness: actually stochasticity, not randomness

    ...You cannot logically deduce whether "12:00am" or "12:00pm" is supposed to mean either noon or mid-night since neither of them is either, therefore the 'system' should be avoided.
    In fact, I would argue that clocks are wrong in having a "12" at all - it should be a zero.
    This is not unrelated to problem some people have in the lack of a "year zero", but hey, I digress. :-)

  7. @yourautisticlife
    Don't get me started! Oh, alright then. Both "12:00am" and "12:00pm" are utterly nonsensical terms which only have meaning by way of an arbitrary convention which few people actually remember. Sensible people (e.g. in the military, where it's quite a good idea to know what the fuck people mean) use 00:00 to indicate the beginning of the day, 12:00 the middle (i.e. noon) and 24:00 the end of the day. ...

  8. I get asked by a lot of people who want or intend to study philosophy whether it's best to do so in a chronological order. Here's a new Quick Takes video taking a close look at whether that's a good or even feasible idea

  9. Главное христианское торжество года в католических и протестантских традициях (в православии оно будет отмечаться через 14 дней, согласно юлианскому календарю).

    https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Обрезание_Господне

    Этот праздник знаменует теоретическое начало христианской эры и летосчисления. Поэтому весьма распространена общеупотребительная ошибка в 7 дней, при использовании дат христианских календарей со словами "От Рождества Христова", так как юлианский и григорианский календари начинаются именно со дня Обрезания, а не со дня Рождества Христова.






    Novy God: Обрезание Христово - Караоке
    by zlaxyi on YouTube

    Обрезание Иисуса традиционно рассматривалось, как объяснялось в некогда популярном писании "Золотая легенда", как первое пролитие крови Христа, а значит, и начало процесса искупления человека, и как демонстрация того, что Христос полностью человечен, и что он послушен библейскому закону.

    Церемония обрезания в иудейской традиции является также церемонией имянаречения, поэтому столь значим этот праздник в обоих христианских календарях, что точкой отсчёта христианской эры было выбрано именно обрезание, а не рождение изначально безымянного младенца.

    Также, в связи с этим праздничным событием стоит упомянуть христианскую реликвию священного препуция, крайнюю плоть (часть кожи полового члена) Иисуса Христа, появившуюся в результате его обрезания. Утверждается, что препуций был выкраден из Рима во время разграбления, после чего он якобы был снова найден в тюремной камере, в которой находился один из немецких солдат, участвовавших в разграблении. Потом, препуций хранился долгие века в коммуне Кальката, до тех пор пока его снова не выкрал местный священник 38 лет назад.

    В иудейской традиции церемония обрезания называется брит-мила, при этом, согласно писаниям, специально обученный человек, называемый моэлем, ртом отсасывает кровь из ранки на половом члене младенца. До сих пор многие иудейские общины блюдут эту древнюю традицию.

    Поэтому начало христианской эры и христианского летосчисления, точка отсчёт григорианского календаря - это брит-мила Иисуса из Назарета, Царя Иудейского (INRI), момент, когда моэль отсосал кровь из только что обрезанного пениса маленького Иисуса Христа. Якобы, это произошло ровно 2023 года назад.

  13. Still posting the cover scans of all the comics I buy and keep a chronology for no good reason, except at the end of the year I can look back at what I bought and when.

    For the record I bought these books between May 25 to June 17 this year

  14. I'm posting how I scan the covers of all the comics I buy and keep a chronology for no good reason, except at the end of the year I can look back at what I bought and when.

    For the record I bought these books between May 1-20 this year
