Within a relationship it’s cool.

Random women is strange but sadly too common

At least take the droop out of it!

Women out there just trying to live their own private lives, with strange men in their wake calling them whores

No, just scrape. And put everything in and run it nightly rather than waste water hand washing the separate items I know I’m going to need first thing in the morning. Empty it while the coffeepot is working. Rinse the filter monthly even if it doesn’t appear to need cleaning.

Corgis (adult) are pretty much one size, but are we talking newborn or year-old baby elephants? At what age does “baby” graduate to “toddler” in a species that stands and walks within an hour of birth?

Because there wasn’t going to be a roast. Mentalist and magician Oz Pearlman was going to host, instead.

And because, by staging a shooter, he is going to get public funding for his ballsack I mean ballroom.

So, can we get ahold of the cue cards?

Well, she’s no lady!

If your fish would get busy they could out-reproduce the heron

It’s a long commitment,. They might outlive you, assuming you don’t accidentally kill them.

I appreciate that you didn’t get mad about it. Of course it doesn’t matter here, but I point these things out in case people need to use them correctly in a serious situation.

No, we just have to do a little kindergarten (age 5) math, the difference between 12 and 15 is 3.

The 3rd-grade math (age 8) of figuring what time it will be 9 hours and 47 minutes later is equally difficult whether using 24h or am/pm. And may be easier using angles on an analog clockface, especially for an old fart like me.

The real problem with time isn’t 12h vs 24h. It’s the increments 12/24/60/30/15/5 when the rest of our system is base 10.

Oh and Daylight Savings. Jet lag without getting to go anywhere. Fuck that shit.

Mine was raised from the egg of a non wild turtle by someone else who found themselves unable to care for it and asked me to give it a home.

We use the 12 at both ends because there it is sitting at the top of the clock

I think it’s cheating to call it metric if it’s not decimal. Even some of the oldest analog clocks had 24-hour faces, they were just a bitch to read in a watch-size. You still have to do stupid math to figure out duration past the 12 or 24, and even with the 60 minutes/1 hour. Nothing metric or superior about it.

You start counting the hours to the next noon at midnight, duh. That’s why it’s ante-meridian, and the beginning of a new day. If you want to go around calling it 00:30, most people would understand, even in America.

“case in point” although "case and point " is arguably an eggcorn

12:30 pm is half-past noon.

12:30 am is half past midnight, or as you would say 00:30

The m is “meridian” which is noon (sun straight up)

The a is ante/before and the p is post/after

In olden days it was easier to look up and set your clock at noon than midnight.

Or irresistibly attractive to that particular agent.

Passengers should gather and elect a (volunteer) sacrificial lamb to make a food run at a good local place. If the delay holds, everyone gets Pad Thai. If the plane delay suddenly gets cancelled, they’re out what they chipped in but are happy, and the lamb either has the unspent cash or enough Pad Thai to share with the other people waiting with them for the next flight.
