“Piracy is preservation.”

cell phone providers can, they just won’t (would eat into their profits)

and most of the home internet sold as “unlimited” was a scam – if you started to get too close to some hidden value, they would start throttling your connection

even if you’re in a “legal region” you still have to use a third-party website or app to find out which service has that episode of that season of that show because no service can be bothered to carry a complete show

Australia’s Carbon Capture and Storage is a straight up scam

(doesn’t help that most HVAC installers in the US are of a relatively conservative bent, no problems trash-talking heat pumps while they try to up-sell you on the latest forced-air system)

• with the year being 365.24219 days you don’t get a lot of factors to work with (365 ⇒ 1, 5, 73, 365)
• there have been various proposals for perennial calendars – in a perennial calendar, months always start on the same day, have the same number of days, no worries about “last Thursday of the month” calculations for holidays
  • if you deal with the year as 364 days + filler, you get more factors to work with (364 ⇒ 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 14, 26, 28, 52, 91, 182, 364)
    • fiscal quarters are always the same length and you get an extra day during the winter holidays
  • the easiest being something like a 13 month calendar (each month being exactly 4 weeks, 28 days) = 364 days + 1 year day + 1 leap day – this gets a lot of flack from religious groups because they don’t like the extra days messing with a 7 day week cycle
    • this keeps the 365 day year and uses the same calculations for adding in leap days
  • leap week calendars get around that by doing a 364 day year and then adding in a whole leap week to bring things back into alignment (you can do this yourself using ISO week dates and looking for week 53)
    • calculations for leap years are a bit more elaborate and don’t fit as easily into a simple mnemonic
