Was just about to say, war Cleric says "Hi".

Deadly at range, terrifying in melee. And possibly one of the best healers, if you count damage prevented as healing.

I guess that depends on whether you only travel through time (time vs space), or whether you follow the time-line back (aka. travel through time and space, kinda like both you and I are doing right now).

EDIT: there's also the reference point, and whether you can bring a physical vessel, or have to possess your younger self.

Back to the Future appears to be using a kind of relative spatial reference point, and you bring your body along the ride.

Contrary, Steins Gate (the part shown in the series) uses a body as reference, and has you "possess" said body. Though it hints that Back to the Future-like travel is also possible.

Not sure if I can name any story where time and space are disconnected.

A wolf, or more specifically our dear little furry eye-gifted Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate.

Just another reason to buy music from the artists own website, if they have one.

It'll likely be seen as "lost revenue" and therefore piracy by the holders, as I don't imagine that they include small individual sites in their surveys, but the artist will get more money in the end and that's what matters.

That would be very interesting indeed.

I imagine that the drop observed between 2005 and 2020 isn't because people didn't listen to music, but likely rather piracy and digital media being harder to properly gauge (musicians selling music on their own websites and such, not having to burn it to CDs first).

This is also supported by various claims and statistics showing a fall in piracy in the late 20's.

Perhaps (hopefully) i just encountered some folks who just assumed something, and that it's not actually becoming a trend.

w/ appears to have origin in the food industry some 70 years ago (according to this question).

To me it makes sense, as I first encountered it in video games where abbreviations, acronyms, and text-saving-slang are commonplace. Furthermore, while abbreviations usually have multiple letters (in written text, not physical or mathematical equations), single letter abbreviations can quickly become confusing, so I belive that this is the reason for putting a slash behind it, or possibly a bar above it.

RANT: While I know that language changes all the time, I find it very unfortunate that this little fellow o/ and possibly his slightly more formal friend o7 have become synonymous with "nazi salute". First off, it's the wrong arm! And second off, what do you have against "man waving" and "man saluting"?

It must be very confusing for someone who uses this newer definition of o/ to visit the Elite:Dangerous forums.

EDIT: I'm very happy that I apparently am the only one who has met people who don't know the real meaning of o/ and o7. I feared that this was a widespread problem, but luckily it appears that I simply am a worrywart.

But it should be.

Better technology and more storage should never excuse a lack of optimization.

I'm not up to speed on the optimization levels of mobile Web browsers, but these days you rarely see properly optimized consumer software. Games and websites tend to be the worst offenders, and many mobile apps appear 10x the size you would expect them to be.

Don't swim in the water, I've heard you get severe and abrupt lead poisoning when trying.

I guess that does make sense, and definitely not as bad as I had misunderstood it to be.

It feels a little weird, and I'm not sure if T+29:00 or equivalents are allowed in ISO 8601, but I have seen computer programs that represent time differences in similar ways.

Thank you for the clarification!

In Denmark we say "2 o'clock" or just "14", sometimes also "14 o'clock". No one says fourteen hundred, except perhaps for a few military wannabes.

If it's quarter past 2, we'd usually say "14-15". Half past 2 would be "14-30", you get the idea.

If we mean to say "from 2 o'clock to 3 o'clock", we'll say "14 to 15", which I imagine can be confusing for the uninitiated, as the only difference from "quarter past 2" would be a "to".

For those downvoting me, what do you say? I imagine it must be other Danes or neighboring countries, as one surely wouldn't downvote a culturally dependant statement if not from said culture.

Like the bastardization of the 24h clock by the television companies, doesn't Amarican military time also allow for relative time instead of absolute? Like writing 5:00 on the second day of a time critical mission as 2900?

I'm pretty sure I heard this somewhere, though I have yet to verify this claim.
