My headcanon is that after world war 3 we lost track of time (for a while; survival was priority) and a lot of records were destroyed / reconstructed, so the dates become fuzzy after world war 3, and by the time of TNG and DS9 those fuzzy dates had become accepted as fact because they didn't know any better. The eugenics wars haven't happened on the canon dates, but whose to say they don't actually happen 10 or 20 years from now? 😛

Real life example, our date system involves numbering based on the birth of somebody that almost certainly didn't exist. It's just widely accepted that Christ was born 2024 years ago. Or would it be 2025 years ago? I'm too tired to figure that out.

Oh my god, thank you. I thought I was having a stroke.

Well that's going to be a really awkward episode of Below Deck

There's actually a Python-based framework that can make mobile apps called Kivy, but as you might expect it would not be terribly performant.

Bro. Her hands are backwards. Can't unsee.

And did she give you permission to post this here?

It's kind of amusing that he mentioned Christopher Nolan as a possible ally in his grassroots campaign of filmmakers extolling the virtues of cinema. Christopher Nolan who made a massive comic book movie trilogy. That Christopher Nolan?

You get it put in and suddenly you think Musk is a sexy genius, apartheid wasn't that bad, and that Tesla cars definitely aren't trying to kill you.

Total tangent, but: the famous Stamets from Risa is also Canadian? 😀

Already planning on it here in Canada once my friends and I have the money for what we want to do.

Farming (+greenhousing) and some cottage rentals on the side.

Peace out, modern society!

Would you really want to prove it? What would that accomplish?

You're probably going to be depressed either way: either your parallel life is worse or your parallel life is better. If it's worse then you have to witness it and (I assume) can't do anything about it. If it's better then it's not really you that gets to enjoy it, and is nothing more than an existential cocktease.

I guess if you're really lucky parallel-universe-you might have invented something world-changing and you figure out how it works and bring that information back to your universe. But if it's anything like most of my dreams it's mostly just uncanny anxiety-inducing quasi-nightmares.

I'm amazed that this is still an issue years later, but here we are.

You can (or at least you used to be able to) get around this issue by going to the play store in your web browser (logged into the account you want the app installed under) and using the "install to my phone" tool. It'll eventually install the app on your phone, and it should display the correct payment options.

I have to do this myself soon as I'm having a similar issue with a different app, but it's such an annoyance that I haven't bothered yet.
