To people thinking of enforcing UTC around the globe:

obligatory: https://qntm.org/abolish

Before I read this article, I also thought it would be a great idea to get rid of timezones entirely and just use UTC for everything. To quote from the link,

Abolishing time zones brings many benefits, I hope. It also:

• causes the question “What time is it there?” to be useless/unanswerable
• necessitates significant changes to the way in which normal people talk about time
• convolutes timetables, where present
• means “days” (of the week) are no longer the same as “days”
• complicates both secular and religious law
• is a staggering inconvenience for a minimum of five billion people
• makes it near-impossible to reason about time in other parts of the world
• does not mean everybody gets up at the same time, goes to work at the same time, or goes to bed at the same time
• is not simpler.

As long as humans live in more than one part of the world, solar time is always going to be subjective. Abolishing time zones only exacerbates this problem.

I just pulled this out from my ass, but I would guess yes, they do. But you rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth so I would guess it's not that bad? Since you're (mostly) not ingesting the microplastic particles from the toothbrush. But again I'm going off of nothing.

Cool, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply!

Instead of DST, why didn't we just shift working hours one hour earlier in winter? (I am in favor of getting rid of DST. I'm just asking why we decided to shift the clock instead of shifting working hours)

Glad to know you're doing well!

Cool you moved to Japan? How has it been?

Would my plastic water bottle (reusable) be a problem?

I like Zen for its different interface. I like having a built-in vertical tab bar. It's not as focused on privacy and security as Librewolf is, though.

Yes, like the Vietnamese name "Nguyen", but not like "wininks". The best I could describe it is as a hybrid between "ninks" and "ginks". Pronounce the first consonant with the back of your tongue while keeping the image of pronouncing an "n" sound in your head.

For anyone who wants it in text:

らロひレ
ロチ てロチチモモ

I like to pronounce it as nginks like fucking inks. Yes, with a ng sound in the beginning.
