A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (2 weeks). The word derives from the Old English: fēowertyne niht, meaning "fourteen nights".
Fortnight and fortnightly are commonly used words in the English-speaking world [citation needed]. Some wages, salaries, and social security benefits are paid on a fortnightly basis;[3] however in North America it is far more common to use the term biweekly. Neither of these terms should be confused with semimonthly, which divides a year into exactly 24 periods (12 months × 2), instead of the 26 (≈52 weeks ÷ 2) of fortnightly/biweekly
Tis’ but a fortnight and this lunacy will be under new management!
1800 Justice
A fortnight
Will be our measure
For those who seek
An idea of independence
Beyond these chambers
Of steel and stone
Lies of beggars
Weeping urchins
And slept scent whores
Cheer on those judged by gavel
They are roped to truths
That they forswears
A fortnight
After this night
We will be our measure
Will it be justice to, whom
Society?, tis not justified
Judgments of weak eyes and mind
They keep them like stones
In their shoes
Weighing them down
With hate, greed and sins of old
Before we squander
Away a chance
and before this
fortnight will reach
a certain climax
we will fill our eyes
with independence
The cuboctahedron, the truncated cube, and the truncated octahedron each have fourteen faces. The rhombic dodecahedron, which tessellates 3-dimensional space and is the dual of the cuboctahedron, has fourteen vertices. The truncated octahedron, which also tessellates 3-dimensional space, is the only permutohedron.
But that goes without saying.
14 is the maximum number of electrons that can fit in an f sublevel.
The rest are there illegally. Trump will end that.
ILLEGAL ELECTRONS!!!!
On please Laz
Dang you! (See 51)
I’m trying to convert the protons to controns, but all I can do is switch a few to neutrons (and then they started doing this funky dance and it all went downhill from there).
You may have created Neutrons, but I prefer Oldtrons.
Dont go snowflakey..lol
Growing old SUCKS except for when you are waiting for the WORST president by many multiples to evacuate the White house forever....
4 years Carter, 8 years Clinton then this recent abomination.
TWENTY YEARS of my short life...
Thank You Lord for denying Hussein pt.2, the corrupt H. Rodham Clinton
Now i can at least live my coming 50’s in relative peace.
You ain’t REALLY old until you get past Seven-Oh.
...and I’m not standing down until I’m damn certain these Little Ones run around and call me Gramps don’t even have to think about a cluster—— like this last one for THEIR grandkids.
I ain’t old. I’m just too damn mean and ugly to die.
“Now i can at least live my coming 50s in relative peace.”
You started your post saying “Growing old sucks” and then you say you are going onto your fifties.
You have GOT to be kidding.
Still the most dangerous time in our nation’s history until noon on the 20th.
Even then, I don’t expect the wacko liberals to give up anytime soon....
