Author of Sun Clock here — thanks for the library! I'll check out the new release soon and update.

Same here, but i'm in the southern hemisphere, so summer is at the top already.

Author here — I'm thinking of adding something like that to the calendar page, or adding a separate 'carpet plot' of times over the year.

The US is not about to be attacked. But your allies are getting sick of your bullying and hypocrisy. Without allies you won't keep your overseas bases, and without those you cease to be able to project power and maintain global dominan

If you 'Add to Home Screen' you don't get the address bar. Effectively fullscreen. Not sure how that would work with the state being saved in the URL — you'd need to save each routine separately I think.

It's a pity that paternoster lifts are so unsafe [0] — we could avoid all problems to do with scheduling if they were safer. On a related note, could someone please design continuous spiral escalators with horizontal sections at each f

Why is this even a federal issue in the US? In Australia time zones and daylight time are solely the responsibility of the states. I don't see why you need the feds involved.

Yes, you would think 'conservatives' would be big on conserving "god's creation", but no. Apparently having 'dominion' over nature means killing it, not looking after it. Also, the disconnect between Jesus

I recently spent a week on an island with almost no ICE vehicles. I saw one small ICE tricycle utility vehicle — all the other vehicles were pushbikes, electric scooters, and horses with carts. No road noise apart from the horses hooves and

75,052 icons and no way to search any of it. All the data is in the img title attributes, so in-page search doesn't even work on the icons already downloaded. Cool idea though.

At the distances involved even the beam from a gigantic laser will be spread out enough not to vaporise anything — you won't need a magic material, just a very large, thin, and highly reflective solar sail.

> you can't use these lasers to slow down the probe You can, but you need a couple of solar sails. You beam the laser at the sails to accelerate, then at the halfway point one of the sails detaches and becomes a reflector, which lig

Dogs are social beings and have minds. They understand cursing and thanking. Maybe not the actual words, but certainly the emotion behind them.

How old are they? I found with my parents that as they got older they became increasing incapable of using modern computerised technology. The older the tech the easier it was for them to remember how to use it. My mum can still set the tim

Singapore is close to the equator (1°17′N) — the days are roughly 12 hours long all year. No, it's not exact. They vary from +3 to +12 minutes. It's close enough (<2% error). It's not entirely due to the apparent size of t

by perilunar 3mo ago
Definitely so. Unless you are on the equator, the sun is up for less than 12 hours a day from the autumnal equinox to the spring equinox. The sun will set before 18:00 local solar time. So apart from funkiness with time zones and summer

If the connection fees get too high, people will disconnect. Then they’ll probably ban it.
