Use your knuckles and the space between from left to right. The higher points are longer months.

The left pinky knuckle is January, the space between pinky and ring knuckle is February, the ring knuckle is March and so on. The left index knuckle will be July and you continue with August being the right hand index knuckle. All the months that land on a knuckle are 31, while everything else is 30 (except 28 or 29 for February).

How’d y’all communicate with builders? Do you say this building has 0 floors to say that it’s si gle story and say that it has 1 floor to mean that it’s 2-story?

Remember originally that -1 was 1 BC, meaning 1 year before the birth of christ. The negative numbers are measuring the distance away from 0.

Edit: in the positive direction, the 1 was 1 AD, meaning the first year of our lord. Just like when talking about the reign of kings/queens, the first year of their reign is 1 and the 14th year that they reigned is 14. I believe the timekeeping for Ages in LOTR may also be similar.

No, we don’t get letters in the mail about elections. The options are news, radio, or look it up yourself outside of social media. With streaming so popular, people don’t see near as many ads as they used to on their TV. That leaves social media as the biggest informer of upcoming elections and to hear about issues.

Here in the US, minimum wage is still just $7.25. I don’t think they are going to do anything about it anytime soon. We have a hard enough time rallying people to slow rise of authoritarianism

Lol, nobody is calling that music phat.

FreeTaxUSA is one of the sites listed.

I’ve also used Tax Hawk for a few years and it’s been free.

I wasn’t aware that their site was promoting Intuit software.

They have had a list of websites that will file at least federal taxes for free. Some have free state returns as well, however, your Adjusted Gross Income must be less than $79,000.

Not to mention that OP really means the word “phat”, which seems to have come from the 60’s or 80’s meaning sexy and attractive. It has nothing to do with a person’s weight.

I remember that it was like that when I was in school, but have only come across 5 or so analog clocks in schools over the last 10 years. They even have digital clocks in the hallways. I’ve also not been inside elementary schools, so idk if analog clocks are still present there.

Interesting, I’ve worked in several districts around the state and in the last decade haven’t come across students that can tell time from an analog clock.

They stopped teaching it in schools around TX a long time ago. High Schoolers nowadays were shocked when I said that reading clocks was a 1st grade skill because they weren’t taught to tell time.

If you watch the video, one of the union members is at the Council meeting speaking to the City Council and another union member walks up to him to inform him that they were laid off with immediate effect. The workers both seemed genuinely surprised that they were laid off.

In your younger years, you have a lot more to look forward to that’s tied to your age: first decade, teen years, driving, getting a job, voting, making your own decisions, second decade, and drinking age. After that, the only things that are still age locked are at 25 when you can rent a car and your insurance goes down, the other decades, and legal age requirements for reaching certain political offices. There just isn’t much else to look forward to at a specific age, so it’s not as important for your brain to remember.

Misremembering people’s names is not related to the age. A chunk of the population is really great at remembering names and another chunk remembers faces better. I’m more of a face person, I will most likely recognize you, but might not remember your name.

At-will gave companies the ability to fire those who might start unions, specifically.

Lol, I meant the other way around

In many states no, they are called “at-will states”, where the employee can leave or the company fire you for no reason at all. It’s phrased that way to make it seem better than the evil unions making you stop working to strike to fight for your rights.

This looks like the Serpent’s Pass from Avatar: The Last Airbender. I wonder if it was the inspiration.

The lack of a computer system is all the more reason why it would need to be rung in the cash register and typed or written up. With no co.puter, everything has to be done by hand and there’s no way anyone would be able to recall every transaction in a given day by memory.

I don’t remember where the books said it, but I remember them saying that they go to school before hogwarts the way that we go to school there just isn’t magic. Harry and Hermoine talked about going to school.
