No it’s not. DST makes it so summer afternoons and evenings are useless because it’s too hot in the direct sunlight. By the time the sun goes down and you can actually be outside it’s time for bed.

We should move the clock a hour back in summer so we can actually enjoy the summer evenings.

Dark? It doesn’t get dark in summer at the end of the workday, even if you move the clock backwards.

What I do like in summer is being outside, which isn’t possible until after sundown because you’ll burn alive if you do. It doesn’t get comfortable outdoors until after the sun sets which in the middle of summer isn’t until 22:00, thanks to DST.

I’d like to BBQ, eat outdoors, have a few drinks with friends in my garden. All impossible during weekdays because there is not enough time after sunset before I need to go to bed.

Move the clock an hour back in summer instead.

Yep.

You’re welcome.

In the same vein, stop drawing dead butterflies

Another thing that’s crazy about trees is that there is no such thing as a tree, phylogenetically.

As in: there is no branch on the tree of life for trees. There is no first tree from which all trees are descended. There are trees that have a common ancestor that was definitely not a tree, and there are there are plants that are definitely not trees that are descended from trees.

If you look at the tree of life for plants, you see trees evolving into other types of plants and evolving back into trees all over the place.

Taste like crab, talk like people.

Second most abundant doesn’t really convey how much more abundant it is compared to other elements.

About 75% of all the mass in the universe is hydrogen, about 23% is helium, 1% oxygen, and that leaves just 1% for everything else.

Making it yourself is no guarantee it will be safe, unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

Same on iOS

Bumble’s new verification feature lets users submit a picture of a government-issued ID to authenticate their identity

ID verification using a picture taken of the ID is practically worthless. It is trivial to fake.

That’s not how science is performed

Starship is not a science project. No scientific breakthroughs are made or expected. It is an engineering project. And this is exactly how that is performed.

Also, how many people crashed how many planes before the Wright brothers managed to achieve powered flight ?

You forgot Today and Tomorrow.

Well, if he wants to follow that logic: Tesla’s CEO didn’t make billions of dollars, his workers did.

The goal is not to find the guilty party, it’s to punish someone.

Canada should just shut down energy delivery to the US.

Or just raise the export tariff on electricity by 1% a day. They’ll shut if off themselves when they realize they can’t afford it at a 300% markup.

Why would you need to take your stuff home?

No, crashes in the US happen because Americans are shit drivers. They are shit drivers because you get a free driving license with box of cereal. Germany on the other hand has one of the strictest driving tests there is. A German with a driving license has had many hours of instruction from a professional instructor.

In addition, American cars are shit. Lots of poorly maintained and unsafe vehicles on the road with very lax regulation. By contrast, German cars have to pass a very comprehensive yearly safety inspection.

83 million Germans, 63% above 16

Not sure why you think this is relevant. Children aren’t allowed to drive in Germany.
