Also, by and large, time zone offsets are off by a multiple of the hour, so the "math" to adjust for a phone call is at most adding or subtracting 5 from the hour hand. If you don't know any Alaskans or Hawaiians then that drops to +-3.

The States span from UTC-5 to -10. While the east coast is getting off work Hawaii is taking lunch. There's no way to have a single zone work for the whole country.

So how do we deal?

Well pretty much everything is just referred to in local time. TV shows are scheduled in local time, concerts and events are in local time, meetings with friends are in local time. Quite often this is a non issue. The time zone bands are multiple states wide, so day to day stuff is just..."normal."

What about when it's not?

If you work across time zones your meetings may be scheduled for your team and not you. I have an extra clock on my work computer that helps me keep track with my team, but I also just implicitly adjust times by 2 hours when talking with them.

If you regularly communicate with friends in a different zone you just need to be cognizant of when they get off work--that could be "they get off at 6pm (my local)" or "oh yeah, they're an hour behind, so I'll do some chores first."

If you have to cross into a different zone for a scheduled event. This is probably the most tricky one, especially if you live near a different zone. I find this one the most difficult as the majority of things you'd get a reservation for are handled in local time, so most concerts, restaurant, sports events, you attend will be the time you use throughout the day, but sometimes you end up driving an hour west for a timed entry event and just happen to forget that part of Florida's panhandle does things wrong and you end up arriving at the improper time,

The most common thing to get a little confused about is major televised events like the NYC ball drop, Thanksgiving Day Parade, Inauguration, or the Superbowl. Even so, these are either a set time every occurrence (and you just learn that the ball drops at 10pm instead of midnight) or are advertised at local time (and you have an early or late dinner for your superbowl party).


I know where my friends and family live, and I know where I work. I just have those offsets memorized (like we used to have phone numbers memorized). Given that, I don't really keep a separate clock for personal use and I don't really have to look up the time for anyone.

Finally, the vast majority of the US population lives in either PST or EST zones or Texas (CST) so most people are living their life really only caring about 1 or 2 timezones with any regularity.

If New Zealand were to start bombing raids, install boots on the ground, and claim for themselves as their God given sovereign lands the conflicted area of Sudan would we also say that Sudan started it?

WTF is that editing job?

the yard isn’t accessible from the interior

Does the house not have doors?

It also contains a single window. The room also contains a single window.

OK, that's OK

Although many people in the comments found the home out of their price and style preferences, a few TikTok users found it charming—and a bit reminiscent of the video game, “Sims 4’s Tiny Living Challenge.”

Really!?

Also it's a fucking article about a tiktok and it's comments; it's not even about the house.

Do your monitors have power buttons?

Nazi salutes and internment camps sure are a good place to start!

Then there's selling shirts with swastikas on them and talking about poisoning the blood of our people.

Beyond that there are a lot of scary similarities like book bans, transphobia, and attempts to overthrow the government.

Oh and of course, rubbing shoulders with Nazis and not bothering to criticise them!

Basically, a redundant, global manufacturing field allows them to just shrug and move on.

He wasn't arrested for saying something. At the end of the video he announces that he's going to engage in civil disobedience. He then walks around the podium and approaches the board--that's why he was arrested.

Sounds like you're at the right stage in the process to investigate! Only reason I brought it up is that I'm working on a bullet heaven as well and got some pretty big gains going the server route.

Whether or not it's needed is dependent on your final vision, but even just handling collision has some appreciable gains.

Good luck!

Out of curiosity are you using the physics server or some of the more high level physics wrappers?

For a bullet heaven (or hell, tbh) I'd definitely recommend checking if hooking into the physics server directly will give you a boost in projectiles or performance.

This guide is a little outdated, but gives a relevant demonstration of what can be achieved.

Yep, that looks weird. Are you looking for guidance or just to share an odd artefact of development?

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa--anyone deserves food, shelter, health care, and education.
