Iran uses its own observation-based solar calendar (which means it follows the seasons exactly every year), but it also reports the Gregorian date on the nightly news. People in Iran are generally aware of the Gregorian month and year they

Isn't it better for society to focus on improving public transit than electric? You could say "we don't have to choose" but it seems SV already did.

I bet this same post in r/nba would be a joke based on this very detail.
