All clocks are 30 seconds late
victorpoughon.fr/all-clocks-are-30-seconds-lateAll the above clocks have one thing in common: they don't show seconds. They truncate down to the nearest lower whole minute, right? So when it's actually 14:15:45, they'll show 14:15.
And when the actual time goes from 14:15:59 to 14:16:00, then that's when your clock changes from 14:15 to 14:16.They apply the floor function!

Coinage and the Tyranny of Fantasy ‘Gold’
acoup.blog/2025/01/03/collections-coinage-and-the-tyranny-of-fantasy-goldFunctionally no one used gold in any amount in every-day transactions in the ancient or medieval Mediterranean (or most other places!), because a gold coin at almost any size was such an enormous monetary unit as to be unsuited to most transactions. That in turn conceals some of the sharpness of wealth and class distinctions in pre-modern society in ways that flatten and frankly ‘modernize’ these societies. And it also misunderstands the economic systems of these societies, because it doesn’t understand what sort of transactions people would even want to use money for, which further flattens and modernizes these societies.

Suspend the suspension of disbelief | Roger Ebert | Roger Ebert
www.rogerebert.com/roger-ebert/suspend-the-suspension-of-disbeliefThe audience is never required to bring suspension of disbelief with them to a movie. It is the filmmakers’ job to create it–to drag it kicking and screaming from the clenched fist of the viewer’s reason. It is an INvoluntary response (or lack of response), created when questioning certain details is made impossible by the distraction of the mind.

On this scale, negative infinity is the coldest temperature (what we know as “absolute zero”), water freezes at 0 and boils at 100, and lead melts at 253.
