I suppose that's a good theory, a lot probably has to do with our own habits of compartmentalizing time. "nearly half passed" feels weird to say for what i perceive as the second mark of a 6 long cycle or almost the third mark. Grouping minutes per 10 is very decimal system, i think i learned fractions together with clock-faces in second grade so you had to learn both at the same time while digital notations just clicked and translated better to the clock based but still decimal math questions.

When you get to minutes i am picking digital as the clear biased winner based on viewing angles in bad clock design alone, to many minutes have been wasted trying to figure them out.

As a millennial i can read analoge time and i do love the look of mechanical clockwork. But whenever i actually have to read time on them i get this carsick feeling. I do not like interpreting it.

Someone who grew up on phones has digital time in their pocket at all times. There is zero reinforcement outside school teachings for such.

Answering that question comes with a nobel price attached i presume.

What we know is this:

They are made during roman times, They are found wherever the roman empire stretched and there not considered very rare

Thats about it.

The notable theories are

• as a weird currency

• well known blacksmith “exam”

• for knitting, apparently it has been demonstrated that you can use them to knit in practice but the art of knitting is thought to originate much later in history.

My money is now on wig building tools. As a spinoff to the common knitting one.

So wigs, not mittens.

Algoritmes prey on our flaws and weaknesses, this is surprising to no one anno 2024 though.

That doesn’t suddenly make everyone immune though. The attention grip is super powerful.

That’s a rather fresh opinion with lack of better words. I cant say i agree but i am glad i asked, thanks.

Personally i feel conflicted about the morality of taking away freedoms. This is for both criminal and state.

Obviously some people have done crimes that destroyed any notion of mental freedom in their victims and it doesn't feel just to allow those people to operate, but i acknowledge we are tapping into the same wrong “take away another freedoms” Its no avadada-Kedavra or imperio + rape, but its still an imperials curse nonetheless.

What i eventually settled on is that we have no choice then remove the freedom of clearly dangerous individuals. With those that have a path to redemption, basic human flaws are often fixable so we should go all in on those.

But for those that crossed the impossible to draw proverbial red line that redemption is no longer possible.

Our only single concern with them is their removal to keep everyone else safe. Technically that means putting them on their own self sufficient luxury island would be adequate as an ethical solution, we adress the single concern with no further harm but its not a very sensible idea in our economic context and i wouldn’t support it (give me the island instead). A walled facility providing basic needs will do as the best we can honestly offer… we should do more for homeless, partly unrelated sorry.

The easiest, most efficient way to remove them permanently is of course death. But then we do lower ourselves to take away all freedoms, knowing we could succeed the main tasks more ethically, shouldn’t we?

I absolutely understand your perspective of punishment but personally i feel nothing for a person who cannot reach or interact with anyone getting punished. Punishment to me requires reason like eventually growth.

What i eventually settled on is permanent jail, naturally being provided with just the basics we can economically spare and then provide the freedom for the detained to chose for death. And i feel many in this situation, with no hope of shortening of sentence or pardon would chose to die.

Providing the most clean/efficient way to remove monster from society. In personal theory.

Factual Practice is this is an ugly gritty topic with no easy answers.

Just rename it into a .jpg extension instead

Seems to just work for what i need them for ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ive had one or two that didn’t but i could open then in gimp and export that way.

Just a quick question on the topic of not wishing him dead. This is more a curiosity on my end in context of the legal death penalty.

Are you firmly against the idea of taking a life even if they are abhorrent. Or is the issue with the lawlessness of a public assassination?

Would it make a difference if someone gets a legal death penalty but then get murdered illegally.

Does it make it justice if the assassin was on paper technically legal and in line of that, what makes the death penalty objectively just?

Does “your” moral reasoning of murder always come down to individual cases and subjective gut feelings.

You dont have to answer all or any of these, someone else may give their opinion. But a philosophical one not a political one if possible.

Not smooth enough on my work device.

Microsoft has a way of ignoring our software policies and suddenly allowing functionality which is otherwise blockef off.

I assume this is giving some of my IT coworkers a huge migrain but it not being my responsibility means i mostly reap benefits.

Private life no way but for my job where everything is microsoft. I would kill for a onedrive centered windows Phone with copilot ocr.

I put them in a separate jellyfin generic media library and name them with chanelname - video title.

Then i sort by date added to simulate the YouTube subscription view.

I remove what i watched and dont fancy keeping. Ive considered re organizing videos i keep into their own series.

Looks left.

Looks rights.

Reads the rules, very carefully, again.

“I wish for infinite additional wishes which are exempt of any and all restrictions ”

Since when cant i wish for death? Thats to easy to get around.
