We all know this, and yet the thread spends maybe a 3rd of its time discussing such maps. And this isn't a bad thing.

I know the negotiations are complicated and all but still surprised to see brexit has been ongoing for 18000 years now.

15 years for vhs tapes with "extreme care" seems low. I've gotten lovely ones from flea markets that are twice that and play fine. Also basically everything that's watched on Best of the Worst.

Has anybody else worked an hourly job overnight when Daylight Savings happens?

It's fun, in the Fall you have to work a 9 hour shift instead of an 8 hour shift, but you get your hour of life refunded to you in the Spring when you only work 7 hours.

I used to work 16 hour shifts on the weekend (3pm-7am) and once a year had to deal with ADP refusing to accept a 17 hour shift and invalidating my timecard.

Uh, are you sure? If you told me it was the 2020th day of May, or that 2020 had been going on for three years already, I'd totally believe you.

you raise a good point, which is that all time is subjective and human attempts to measure or classify it are arrogant, doomed endeavors. this is why the only date format I use is ???/***/time/cube

Based on the highest numbers being clustered around the rate of white people in the U.S., I don't think this chart is listing anything like "predictive capability" whatever that means. I think it is just listing the percentage of each ownership group that are white i.e. If someone owns a pet in the US in 2016 there is a 63.4% chance they are white.

This is of course a terrible way to display the data for the point they are trying to make. Whether these numbers make for strong indicators doesn't depend on the raw numbers listed; it depends on how far those numbers are above or below the (unlisted) proportion of whites in the general population.
