oh so now we're right back around at time zones again, wonderful.

except now it's even more fun because there is zero standardization at all, but users are still going to expect for their computing devices to tell them a time that makes sense. Ah, but culture X thinks the day starts "6 hours before sunrise" and culture Y is more "the day starts when the sun is halfway between sunset and sunrise" and culture Z thinks something even more insane. Oops, now we've got locale-based time zones. Locale awareness is honestly even worse than time zones because its just so damn unexpected at times. My own computer has a horrifying mix of US and Europe locale settings, and that is already crazy enough.

stupid people will always think everything is just so simple.

I'd imagine the fact that is not legal and is negligent would stop them.

Theres basically no way this meets regulatory requirements, theyre based on a value which is roughly based on transmitter strength + antenna gain. The comments on hackaday are fun to read.

I can fall asleep physically while remaining awake mentally with relative ease, I've never had the entry paralysis ever associated with the typical exit paralysis sleep demons.

The worst that happens is my brain is just incredibly disoriented when I open my eyes after it thinks Im asleep. The paralysis is pretty fun actually, sometimes it can be a real challenge to break.

Its very easy to verify if a shell is loaded thanks to the lack of spring loaded magazines, so its most likely not negligent to do so.

Te be fair, working in the coal mines was also an important part of participating in society.
