Sure, but if I tell you the month, you still know what part of the year it is. If it's sunny, or if it's rainy must mean something to you.
Because the month tells me more about how far in the future something is. If I have an appointment on the 12th of July, there's not much information in knowing it's on the 12th. 12th of what? But it's in July, so between 1 and 2 months in the future. If I need more info, then I'll pay attention to the day. So in order of information given.
Historical dates are similar, except I really just need (roughly) the year, and then a month if that's relevant. Knowing the exact date of a historical event is just showing off. But if you know the month, you know what season it was, what the weather was probably like. Was it planting/growing/harvest time? You can guess at a lot of things with just the month.
NASA goes to obscene lengths to sterilize spacecraft, but once people start going all bets are off. I doubt there would be any meaningful results from such an experiment before human explorers arrive.
Especially now that we’re moving closer to an electric future, something that would make this system obsolete and unnecessary.
I'm willing to bet that the people looking to get rid of stop-start systems also hate electric cars.
Michigan isn't on this list. We have 10 days early voting, absentee voting, and an independent redistricting committee. All due to ballot initiatives. Reps took control in January, and the first thing they did was file a lawsuit against all of those. They say the ballot initiatives are unconstitutional because state legislatures have sole responsibility for voting regulations.
Don't make fun of him for having a parasite, lots of people have parasites.
Don't make fun of him for being anti-vax, it's not his fault he doesn't remember polio.
Don't make fun of him for believing vitamin A and ivermectin can cure all diseases, he clearly never went to medical school.
Don't make fun of him for having the skin-care routine of a rotisserie chicken, nobody stays young-looking forever.
Don't make fun of him for being stupid, there are stupid people in my own family.
Is it Lemmy.zip that forces the ridiculous disclaimer at the bottom of these posts?
There was another imam that said men must have beards because clean-shaven men were woman-like and a temptation for other men.
I use a system at work that is 100% web based. I have 2 4k monitors in my desk. Why are the apps formatted for viewing on a phone? I've gotten to the point of hacking the CSS on every page just to make things usable.
At the last version upgrade, the developers made some changes to the interface. They couldn't be bothered to change the existing CSS, so they just put !important on all the new stuff.
I recommended picaridin to a coworker going on a fishing trip to backwoods Ontario. When he got back he said his guide only recommends using picaridin, and doesn't use DEET at all.
I hate DEET. It stinks, it's oily, it melts rubber and plastics.
