Tangently related, but working timetables on the London Underground run to 2330, 2345, 2359, but then rather than going to 0000, because the post midnight services (until about 0400) are on the previous date, they then go 2359 2400 2401 And

Something bad about misusing country codes, but I guess that’s an argument long lost.

Cash handling costs for normal businesses - at least in the west - are higher than cars handling costs. The only time that changes is for companies avoiding tax or money laundering.

Fairly meaningless. Some do, some don’t. Personal annecdotes are useless as there’s plenty of Scots that identify as British and plenty of Scots that identify as Not British. Hell there’s plenty of people living in Scotland that don’t ident

An unsigned deb is better than an unsigned script as it keeps track of what files are deployed and you have a version number in a central list from dpkg -l Sure something bad can still do things, but it tends not to splat files everywhere w

I’m old enough to remember when you had a makefile or even better an rpm or deb. It was so much better than the windows way of running a random program with little visibility, and so sad when so much software changed away from that method.

Many languages write 99 as broadly “ninety and nine” or “nine and ninety”. Fairly simple base 10 system. French meanwhile writes “four twenties, ten and nine” Danish goes even crazier though.

A century before the US was even a thought the U.K. used “DayName, Month, DayNumber, Year” - E.g “Monday Septemp 10, 1666”, in newspapers - the london gazette for example. This was still the case 100 years later when the Times started in 17

It’s not inflation that’s the problem, it’s interest rates (or swap rates). Raising interest rates are a great way to combat demand driven inflation (everyone borrows money to buy a set amount of goods/services so prices increase). It’

Wages are up 6%, inflation up 7% If you are earning and have debt that’s great news. Sure the cost of your weekly shops increased 1%, but your debt has dropped 7%.
