This is the reason I've taken to carrying a small magnet with me (combined with a flashlight/blacklight/laser pointer), so I can easily pick up those little bits that get lost (my wife cross stitches too, and sometimes her needles fall into the carpet, so it's nice to find those before our feet do).
If nothing matters, then you can choose what matters to you, and if I choose to care about something, then it matters because it matters to me, even if it doesn't to other people.
I would prefer 12 months of 30 days each, 6 days per week, then an intercalary week of 5-6 days. 6 days per week means 4 day work week, staggered weekends for those jobs where 24/6 availability would be preferred.
As long as we're wishing for things, I also would like to change our base 10 system for a base 12 system (duodecimal or dozenal). 12 is a superior highly composite number, and it's a bit easier to divide things into thirds, which is more common than fifths.
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

If everything but your pupils were invisible, and your pupils were 90% invisible, it'd probably be fine. Most humans can comfortably see with 10% of the light.
I mean, at that level the positions are legally bound to certain ranks, meaning that high-level, strategic positions that determine strategy are unable to be filled except on a temporary basis, which means that decision-making is more tenuous. The military is still a monster, and it'll fulfill its functions as it normally does, and will for some time, but the longer this goes on, the more headless the military becomes.
I don't care what he thinks, but I care that he has a platform that others in his class listen to and may respect. It's not a position you hear often from those with a lot of wealth. I'm ok with progress coming from any direction, even if it's self-serving in some form, and I do think it's self-serving.
I think the surface tension of coffee would only allow about 4800 drops per cup, so you'd be able to drink half about 13-14 times before you'd run out.
Sure. Even regularly installing a new OS doesn't necessarily keep you secure if someone wanted to discreetly install malware on your device. In addition to firmware-level rootkits that re-install themselves on fresh OSs (even platform-agnostic ones), it's possible that someone might interdict whatever hardware is bought and implant it with additional small hardware that compromises it in some way.
