Two guys, one tin.

Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’mangiate.

Something like that, I’m no Italian.

Because 12 and 60 are great numbers to divide. You can take a half of it, a third and a quarter and still get whole numbers.

Iirc the French did try decimal time at one time, it was not convenient.

Heh thanks for explaining it, I never knew if noon was 12am or 12pm. In German we say “11 in the morning”, “12 o Clock (noon*)” , and “1 o Clock (in the afternoon)”

But typically we don’t say whether it’s am or pm, it’s clear from context if “i need to be in the work meeting at 9”

Clocks, TV listings, my work timesheet read 24h times. We read 15:00 as “three” most of the time.

Btw some software tools (my timesheet for work) differnciate between 0:00 and 24:00. I can work (theoretically) from 0:00 to 8:00 (8h in the night to morning) and from 16:00 to 24:00 (8 hours from afternoon to midnight).

So 0:00 and 24:00 are the same moment but thought to belong to the next or previous say, respectively.

It might be different for some people, for example as an atheist I try to follow one rule only:

Don’t be an arsehole.

Other people might have different prime principles.

BTW, with my rule I’m not always successful.

I love that thought.

Ok yes it’s not bad, for people here it’s just - normal. There’s quite a number of beer fests round the year in Bavaria. Of course it’s the biggest one.

In Munich we have at least Frühlingsfest, Starkbierzeit and Oktoberfest - so something where you can go is always close (time wise). And if not, you’ll just go to a beer garden.

Oktoberfest

Morbus Kobold.

Look it up if can speak German.

“Kobold” was a Vorwerk brand vacuum cleaner, the problem was - it had a very short pipe, then the motor and the dust bag behind the motor.

Penile injuries happened so frequently that doctors started to call them “Morbus Kobold”.

Let me introduce you to Mettbrötchen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mett

Mett is raw minced pork meat, and it is delicious. You just need good food saftey standards.

If you have a “eeeeeew” gut reaction about eating raw pork - that’s how I felt hearing about sushi the first time. It’s mostly about what you’re used to.

Sushi and Mett, they are both quite safe to eat here in Germany. Of course there’s always some minor remaining risk, but that’s a looooot smaller than the risk of getting ran over by a car on my way to the store.

Öfter als 3x geschüttelt ist onaniert.

Gern der Zeiten gedenke ich / als alle Glieder gelenkig / Bis auf eins.

Doch diese Zeiten sind vorüber / Steif sind alle Glieder / Bis auf eins.

Just had a cup of espresso, local roaster, Monsooned Malabar beans.

I just got a flashback to an open air concert I was at. It was raining like mad. At some point my beer tasted only like rain water. Oh and the second thing is, after I returned home, not a single thing I carried along was dry. Clothes wet, underwear wet, even everything in my wallet was wet. Still, the beer was worst.

But it was an amazing concert.

For an Esp32 you’d need to take a larger model which has psram. With the Pi, yes a is take a zero (Zero 2w or so). The Pi already has hdmi on board and a graphics chip and accelerator, while for the ESP32 you’d need a custom solution.

The price difference is maybe 10 Dollars per piece or so. On the PI I have 512Mb of RAM and what ever SD they put in for storage. On the Esp32 I have 8 psram or so and a tiny bit of flash.

Ah right, for the ESP i probably need to wire up a sd card, custom board, all that stuff, to just store that 24bit 1024x768bit image.

Naah, while I love my ESPs and am just build a project with one - the PI is just so more competent for this task while still being damn cheap.

A decent Esp 32 board is around Eur 5, a. pi zero 2w around 20. Compute module proably similar - customer prices.

That’s a 15 Euro difference.

Ah and my developer pool who can code for Unix is a LOT bigger than the pool who have commercial experience for the Esp32.

I can’t follow your math, at 100 units the price difference is 100x15 for me, which is 1500.- About a day of developing for a small team, if the office and hardware is free. More if you pay for those, too.

When I calculate, custom development always is more expensive.

This is being produced in relatively low numbers (thousands) , so software development is a factor. Just plopping a scripted browser in kiosk mode on Debian is cheaper than ESP32 UI development.

I can still remeber the music from the single porn VHS tape I managed to obtain as a teenager.

I’m just old enough to have been vaccinated against smallpox.

I am bordering on aphantasia, i can’t visualize an apple at all, just as an abstract drawing.

I can visualize numbers and graphs, for example 1-6 are easy with the symbols of a dice, 7 like six with a dot in the middle, 8 two rows of fours and 9 as a three by threw grid.

The thing is, I never visualize things literally, it’s always abstract symbols - and understanding “more” requires better symbols.

Decimal system is also just a symbol, I can easily keep numbers in my mind up to six or seven digits.

Bigger, I have a bit of trouble with the scientific notation - I don’t have concepts for numbers beyond 10^9, even these rather are a thousand million for me, conceptually. And speaking English right now doesn’t help, as I’m from a big ladder country while the US is small ladder: 1 Billion (German) = 1000 billion (US).

“Hardcoded” numbers in the brain go to 4 or 5 or so, everything else is abstractions. piled on abstractions and how used you are to handling these.

In computers you deal with bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes. I visualize the difference between 1kb and 1Tb, as I have experienced each of these stages. (My first computer had 1kb, the second one 64… it was growing exponentially for years)

Ask any foot doctor, type G have injured a lot more people than type F have.
