This comment is actually really interesting to me, because I was quite excited about all the 24hr time I saw over there, and remember 12hr being used pretty much only in text clearly intended for (english-speaking) foreigners. Not that I doubt your own experience at all, of course, but it did make me wonder where the difference comes from, and also if I’m just going crazy bc you seem to have more experience than I do. Couldn’t find anything on regional differences from a cursory search, but FWIW, Wikipedia says that both are used pretty interchangeably, but does have a section on the specific phenomenon I’m talking about

Times past midnight can also be counted past the 24 hour mark, usually when the associated activity spans across midnight. For example, bars or clubs may advertise as being open until “30時” (i.e. 6 am) (See ja:30時間制)

Something that’s been growing on me, but that I’m still unsure of, is 24-hour time that goes beyond 24 to reference the next day. I was in Japan recently, and there were many restaurants that would write their opening hours as, for example, 18:00 - 25:30, to represent that they are open until 01:30 the next day. Was confusing at first, but makes maths easier and means that intervals of time never count backwards! From memory, OpenStreetMap use this system, too.

Bro what do you mean the moon mission has faster internet than me? 😭

Meh, trees in urban areas are a must, imo - though they could replant with a different species if, say, height, canopy size, roots, etc. are of concern

Should be mandatory to put a sapling in the stump of large trees that need to be cut down like this. Let there be another one in its place.

I’m using Sennheiser Momentum 4’s with no issues that I’ve noticed. Sound great, paired easily, mic quality seems no better or worse than on my phone (though I use a dedicated mic so that’s not something I’ve spent much time thinking about). They also have the ability to be either wired or wireless - both have been a “it just works” experience for me.

No, you’re thinking of a scapegoat, a scallop is a person who buys up a large number of high-demand items in order to resell them at a higher price.

I went to the Meiji Jingu in Tokyo on a rainy day (so less crowded) and… Yeah, wow. Didn’t even take any photos, I was just enraptured the whole time. Beautiful environment, beautiful shrine.
