  • What? The US military uses 24 for just one minute? Seems so unnecessary. Why would they do that?

    World     US military
    
    HH:MM:SS  HH:MM:SS
    23:59:59  23:59:59
    00:00:00  24:00:00
    00:00:01  24:00:01
    00:00:02  24:00:02
    ...         ...
    00:00:59  24:00:59
    00:01:00  00:01:00
    00:01:01  00:01:01
    

    Really? Do they order custom clocks for this etc? Do they have custom settings on their computers to add that extra minute?

    Edit: It says in the time chart on the site you linked that 00:00 = 12 am. What are you on about?












  • I was looking for a mouse recently. My priorities were:

    • Comfortable (i.e. vertical; after getting used to it I’m not looking back)
    • Standard format replaceable battery, since built-ins always end up depleting or swelling and being hard to replace
    • Nice scroll wheel (highly subjective though)
    • Easy switching between Linux and Windows systems
    • Small-ish, portable

    I got the Logitech Lift. I am pleasantly surprised by how nice it is.

    Granted I mostly use my mouse for browsing, scrolling and navigating UIs. The rest is all keyboard. For games I prefer controllers and game pads so precision/high performance wasn’t an issue for me at all.
