Townsends has a video on flips. He might have used a historical word for it.

Your logic is correct, but you are off by 1.

0-1 is year 1
10-11 is year 11

ELI5 answer?

In the conventional calendar, there wasn’t a year zero and it wasn’t skipped. Zero is the moment in time that we use to begin counting time.

Think of an elementary school style number line: …-3_-2_-1_0_1_2_3… Each number is one year apart. This makes the numbers measure something like Age. If you are 3 years old, you can count 3 years between 0 and 3.

But a year is not an Age. It is the span of time between ages, and the years we name are actually the spaces between the numbers on the number line. So the first year (1 AD/CE) is the first space after zero (between 0 and 1), and the first negative year (1 BC/BCE) is the first space before the 0 (between -1 and 0).

Then there is the astronomical calendar, which does have a year zero. They get this by naming the year (the space on the number line) after the number to the right side of the space on the number line.

1. It’s established
2. It is a general purpose platform: it has personal posting, business listings, messaging, groups, communities, photos, news, clip format video, live streaming, p2p sales, business sales, event coordination and advertising, payment processing and cash sharing, games…
   Most other platforms do one or several of those things much better than FB, but FB is good enough for lots of people. It’s a one stop shop, and it does a fair job at cross pollinating the various aspects of its platform. It has enough stuff to keep to keep users engaged even if their interest wanes from one or more particular platform components.

Totally normal. 21 was your last milestone, 22 was your first year of “I’m older than 21.” Everything after that will be fuzzy except for the decade milestones and maybe the half decade ones.

Yes. Yes it is.

Eventually, either the boulder or the hill will erode enough that the task will be trivial.

Stardew Valley. It’s a cozy farm sim with lots to dig into if you want to at your own pace (it is not uncommon to play the wiki open) The same save file can be used for single player or multiplayer
(local or online).

Something interesting enough to you to keep your attention to stop your mind from wandering and working itself into a tizzy, but not so intense or dynamic as to keep you up thinking about it.

I like to listen to The Empty Bowl and a couple other podcasts at 70% speed. There are even podcasts out there, like Sleep With Me, specifically meant to help you doze off.

A bunch of posts are saying see a GP and/or Psychiatrist, and absolutely do that. But also make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector in your home (you should have one anyway). This vaguely reminds me of that one Reddit post.

My favorite marvel series.

It was settled mainly by Puritans, a Calvinist flavor of Christians that thought the Church of England was too Catholic. If you’ve heard the term “puritanical” it comes from them.

The pilgrims specifically, were the sect that was the first to land in Massachusetts, and sought to break away from the Church of England.

Harken, to the the tale of the birth of Massachusetts…

This is the second time I’ve seen cheddar bay waffles recommended. Fuck it! I have a box of this in the cupboard and a pizzelle maker. I’ll report back next weekend.

That is why there are second opinions and ultimately it is the patient’s choice even if two doctors agree.

I 100% agree with this, but it wasn’t the question.

The question was whether parents can override the choice of patient when the patient’s choice is supported by a doctor’s recommendation. And more specifically, whether parents can deny a reversible puberty delaying hormone treatment against the patient’s wishes and force the patient to undergo puberty against their will.

Castling itself (as a single move) is a 17th century balance update. Before that it was done as separate moves. But the only reason castling became a thing was because the Queen and Bishop were buffed in the 15th century allowing them to threaten more spaces. This made it more advantageous to fortify the king’s position than to have him flee.

I think this chart is out of date

I did not wake up this morning expecting to read someone claiming that Canada is an island.

How about something like E.T. or Lilo and Stich, ending the loop upon escape. Not sure whether the alien should be the one who remembers the loop or forgets.

Or Memento or Cloud Atlas.
