Or hexadecimal time. We might time travel if we did that though.

That’s the way it works in China and it’s a real pain in the neck. They should have eight time zones and they have one.

The Left loves chaos

(What an idiotic idea)

Only slightly less idiotic than a blogger naming oneself "Jazz Shaw," I suppose.

WOW! We need massive Drug testing all across academia.


I haven’t had a drink in 12-1/2 years but as I was reading this article I was thinking that this sounds like the inane, drunken conversations we would have at the bar after a few beers and shots. Luckily we would forget about the inane conversations the next day so we wouldn’t repeat them and sound like a dumb ass.

10 hours per day, 100 minutes per hour, 100 seconds per minute

That was the scheme proposed during the French Revolution, sometimes called French Republican Time. Like the metric system, it makes calculations simple.

It can't be that preposterous. It's basically the same way the U.S. military runs.

This idea has almost certainly be implemented within some large companies that operate globally in a time-sensitive business. FedEx and Amazon are two that would seem to be ideal candidates for this.

One thing this does is eliminate the whole problem around time changes in the fall and spring when shipping between one country that uses Daylight Saving Time and another that does not.

Swatch tried this back in the late 90s. Was a huge fan of it myself, but it didn’t take off, obviously. There are still some enthusiasts, though.

Maybe it will still catch on?

“Does anybody really know what time it is?

Does anybody really care?”

Quoting the only Chicago song I ever somewhat liked.

That idiot wants to get rid of the time zones in the entire world. I think he suffers from dementia
