It's actually about as Small as a cow is Large, according to this graph.

Does that actually change the file, or will it still break when your software can't handle webp? Because I did that to a webp, but Firefox still shows it's a webp (in the tab name), probably based on magic byte. I don't have any viewers that can't display webp though, and I think they're all smart enough to go by magic byte.

With a 24h watch, you line up the hour hand with the sun. Because the sun does a full circle in 24h and the hour hand does the same, lining them up will always make 24 point north (on the northern hemisphere).

A compass is still the better option, because the magnetic field also points north in the southern hemisphere and doesn't have to be recalibrated when you move too far east or west.

You paid $35 for the watch, the delivery or both? Because I saw those Vostok watches with proper 24h faces, which is exactly what I'm looking for, but they're $140. I guess that's not super expensive for a watch, but I can get a much nicer 12h watch for that money.

And a double numbered clock face is the simple solution, probably more convenient to read, but also not really a conversation starter :)

Yeah, that's the method I know.

Divide the angle that is made in half

And that's how you correct for the 12h face.

I've looked for them, but they're very hard to find and expensive too. You can't just slap a 24h face on a 12h mechanism, so it's all custom and produced in low volumes. (I think it's technically possible to convert a 12h period into 24h by switching out a single gear, but that might ruin your minute hand too? I'm no clock maker.)

How do you find north on a 12h face that wouldn't work with a 24h face? Because the method I know, requires correcting for the 12h circle.

Sometimes it's more about the texture than the flavour and potatoes with cream sounds delicious in that regard.

Not tryna start a subs vs dubs debate, just shitposting about House and live-action adaptations of classic anime (which House is, but not the one you might think...)

Animation is too difficult for me to follow and foreign languages are for children.

OP, you accidentally posted the Netflix adaptation.

But I prefer the Netflix adaptation because it's real people and I don't have to read subs. (Don't @ me)

Here's the one from TAS (1992):

Stick a handle on there, you're done.

Sorry mom, that paper towel was rock hard and flaking before the wash too.

I don't know about the exact stats, but 49 million views in 5 months can't all be ironically, certainly?

I know it as The Fisherman and his Wife

Edit: Updated link to a more prototypical example, a fairy tale as recorded by Grimm.

Either you're unplugging it to move it somewhere else and plugging it in there, or you're unplugging it for good, boxing it up and putting it in a shed. Neither scenario ends up with loose plugs on your floor.

I don't think it's fair to judge plugs by how they behave when dropped on the floor (unless they're exposing live wires). Do you often have a lot of loose plugs lying around? If you find yourself unplugging things a lot to turn them off, you may be interested to hear the switch was invented not long after the light bulb for exactly this reason.
