All the tales of Eden have been told by those who stayed till the fall

Calculators, Editors, Call Apps, Population simulators, map projection programs, paid newspapers, offline sea maps.

That’s the ones I can think of right now

lemmy get this straight, you think it would somehow have been better for him, instead of Putin, to control Russia? Or am I reading this wrong?

On mobile I mean, I don’t really use desktop computers all that much. I fully agree that libre is better than ms office on pc

Regarding your username, if you log into lemmy with normal characters, does it let you or do you have to use the emoji letters every time?

thing is, for my dialect of German, autocorrect is less than useful, so for me, typing Bavarian on a phone keyboard is certainly the fastest at around 150 wpm, trumping english or german on any other board, probably because it exactly matches the way I speak and I’ve been doing it for 13 years

A wireless showerhead is clearly impossible… if you don’t have a machine that works on very little energy and somehow was able to store enough hydrogen while also sucking in oxygen to make water

Say we had technology so efficient to make thus process possible, to make 1 liter of water (1 kg) you just need 1/9 of a kg of hydrogen, so if your showehead stored 1 kg of hydrogen in an extremely enclosed space, you could "pull 9 liters of water out of the air

Even if this device was possible, it would be extremely impractical, and would probably suffocate you by sucking all the o2 out of the air if you are in an enclosed space

Ibwas about to dislike (not downvote) this one, but after a second of thought, this is great. Because it doesn’t make practical sense, but at least isn’t something based in a fault of understanding of the real world, so good job

bitsearch works

I torrent using my phone 99% of the time, so I try to get to a 2:1 if possible, but large files like tv shows that have upwars of 200 gb take up too much space, and I can’t have multiple seasons downloaded at the same time, so I usually get them up to 1:1 and then download the next episodes

not sure why the you was really needed

I wrote that first and wasn’t sure where in the text to put it, so I highlighted it for you to see immediately scrolling by :)

The Chinese Calendar

The Chinese calendar year is the same length on average as the Gregorian year, because they have leap months.

The Chinese calendar follows a 60 year cycle of when leap monthd are inserted into the year.

A lunar month is 29 or 30 days long (because it’s exactly 29.53 days from one new moon to the next) so a lunar 12 month year is just over 354 days long, which is almost 11 days short of the tropical year. To keep the calendar in sync with the solar year, every couple of years thirteenth month must be inserted into the year.

The year 2020 (4717 in the Chinese calendar) had a leap month between it’s 4th and 5th regular month, and this year (4720) there was a leap month between the 2nd and 3rd month.

Generally, there are 22 leap months in a 60 year cycle.

This calendar would have an error of one month every 600 years

The Jewish calendar

The Hebrews have a similar system, inserting 7 leap months in a 19-year cycle (metonic cycle)

This one is even more accurate, drifting away one month only after more than 6000 years.

So these two calendars both have an average year length of 365.25 days, so your age in both of them is about the same as in the Gregorian calendar.

The Islamic Calendar

What you are looking for is the islamic calendar. It is purely lunar and doesn’t have leap months. Every year is between 354 and 355 days long, meaning that after 33 years in the gregorian calendar, 34 Islamic years have passed. So no, this wouldn’t make that much of a difference with the drinking age in the US, but you could get away with alcohol 8 months earlier that way. Of course, ignoring the fact that most Muslims that unironically use the islamic calendar for everything also don’t drink
