  • Don’t know if you’ll get something for as low as $20, but a small thermal printer. Functions as a label maker on steroids, there is no ink, or proprietary* paper. Some thermal paper rolls have built in stickers, some are transparent, some have special shapes and colors, etc.

    I’ve used it to label plants, tools, cables, boxes, so-so-many gridfinity boxes. It takes 1-2 seconds from hitting print to having it ready.

    * not entirely the case, in that some have set sizes, or markings to automatically feed and count. However, these are low tech, and there are third party vendors.


  • I think your example is pretty good. The important detail is that the timetable for Bulgaria, would be fairly similar to your own, except it has some kind of offset, which would be more or less exactly what the time zones express. So, instead of everyone that want to relate to some other places’ relative time schedule, having to do it themselves, we just use… Time zones. that’s what time zones are.

    Without it, you’d have the same complexities inherent with time zones, but with none of the benefits.

    A case of a problem being solved, and mistaking inherent challenges, i.e. the sun moving with a different offset around the world, as a fault of the existing approach. The suggested alternatives would improve nothing, and instead make the problem worse.










  • The last four times I’ve voted. I spent, on average, less than ten minutes from arriving at the place to vote, and leaving that place. And I don’t mean at the booth itself. I’d say from when I parked the car, to when I left in the car… but I walked. 10 minutes (the first 3 times) and after moving, 5 minutes last time.

    It’s amazing how shit things can get, when enough people deliberately want to make it more shit. You know who and what I’m talking about. If not, I’d be happy to clarify.
