> It is easy to fit formulas to the first six terms, in a million different ways, but none of them are of any interest (the seventh term can be chosen to be any number you wish). - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 22 2017
A microcosm for the "plot" of that show, where the writers just pulled some new twist out of their backsides every episode!
It would be nice to see at least one sample question on the landing page or a screenshot of what the interface is like without having to create an account.
Got it, adding a video to the page would definitely help explain things better. In the meantime, let me share a screen recording with you: https://youtu.be/Q0ZM7JX6I7g
Metric time is a better name, since it states that this time comes naturally from our common metric system, and something is very very off that we don't use it.
I don't think it is misleading. Although there is a name-collision with the SI time system that some people call metric time [0] already. I don't know how many people, or how official it is. I'll probably keep calling decimal time metric time, and we'll see if there is a real collision/confusion/misleading.
As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, it's called the metric system because the values were derived from the meter. Decimal time has nothing to do with the meter, and "decimal" refers to it being base 10.
The Audm app has a fantastic narration of this that I've returned to a couple times in the past years for a laugh.
>Even on short plane trips, every passenger is offered the kindergartner’s communion of juice and cookies, as if a majority of adults are incapable of going 90 minutes without such provisions. On trains, passengers are treated as individuals even more powerful than adults: independent teenagers who just want to smoke. Amtrak knows you want to smoke. Amtrak knows you love to smoke. But while you’re living under Amtrak’s roof, you have to follow the rules, of which there is only one, and that is: Don’t smoke inside.
The author Caity Weaver also wrote a fun autoethnography on #VanLife[0].
This could be an expanded version of the Good Samaritan Laws[0] with similar intent. The theory is that bystander of an overdose, likely fellow users, will be less wary to call emergency services if they know there is no possibility of catching their own possession charge. This isn't explicit in the article but has been discussed related to American harm reduction policy recommendations.
