Despite all my rage I am still just a cat in a rage.
Time up to days isn’t even that bad - it’s just base 60 because we get that part from ancient Mesopotamians who liked base 60 for the same reasons people like 12 (but maybe went a little overboard?). Since 12 is a factor of 60, going to base 12 would make hours-minutes-seconds jive better with other numbers. Only changing to base 12, a half day would be written as 10 hours, full day 20 hours. An hour as 50 minutes. A minute as 50 seconds.
I think there’s no helping higher than that - there’s no relation between months and days or months and years - they’re separate cycles that we just smushed together one day and refuse to separate. And days and years aren’t related in a convenient integer. Some things would coincidentally work out - 2 years could be written as 20 months - but for the most part there’s no way to line it up nicely.
This is where the French messed up not using base 12. We could have had the best of both worlds.
I stand corrected.

I’m pretty sure Temu is Chinese.
The prequels were better
Whichever editor let them post “100 thousand” should be spanked one 100 times with the severed hand of whatever asshole wrote it in the first place.
Yeah but if they don’t show which is which I ask them to show too.
Almost everyone gets screw turning right, it just weeds out a few people who say the right things in emails.
I did actually make the mistake of asking just “which way do you turn a screw” once and the person had the sense to ask “to tighten or loosen it?”
I’ve just started doing practical interviews. I basically get really young people with little overall experience and I just want to know if they can do common technical tasks.
So one question is to literally have them explain how to tighten a bolt. One person failed.
OP doesn’t specify, but I read the gripe as it’s a branded truck that’s basically an advertisement you pay to give to your kid. And it’s geared towards kids exactly to expose them at a young age and make a positive association that will pay off when they grow up.
I like UPS more as a company than FedEx or Amazon because it supposedly has a decent union and actually pays their employees. But the toy itself is still an ad, and I personally don’t view it any more highly than I view similar Amazon truck toys that pander to children. If it were some generic delivery truck I doubt anyone would even notice.
Your chances of beating a wolf are low enough that you’d probably be better off with the quick death the other two would provide.
I disagreed more with Guinness tasting metallic…
Mine defaults to on and I have to turn it off. It also requires an absolutely terrible app that seems to get worse with every update .
If I’d known I wouldn’t have bought it and I don’t recommend Blackvue.
It’s easier to just pick up security bits at any hardware store…
