What happened?

2017 is after 2016

I feel like you are looking at that in a particularly linear four dimensional manner. We're gamers, surely we can do better?

I game sci-fi, fantasy, and historical (including Ancients, Dark Ages, Renaissance, and World War II Italy & Sahara.)

The year in the first circled post is 2016, then almost a year later, on November 23, 2017, the second circled post took place.

It is not confusing by itself, it is just represented in a sub-optimal way.

The USA time formatting is one of the most idiotic I can imagine. MONTH-DAY-YEAR makes no sence. For daily usage by citizens the DAY-MONTH-YEAR is more logical. For archival and sorting the YEAR-MONTH-DAY makes more sence. However we go at it, you ether put it strongest-to-weakest, or weakest-to-strongest, not a jolly-mix.

The USA standard time format is muddy:

Dec 3, 2016 at 9:01am
Nov 23, 2017 at 8:29am

The metric ordering is readable without confusion:

2016.12.03 at 09:01
2017.11.23 at 08:29

Larger year is newest. If year is the same, larger month is newest. If both year and month are the same, largest day is the newest. If ...

Always compare them in that order, even if they are displayed in a different order.

(The zero before the hour, and the removal of am/pm designation is because metric system uses 24h clock, so we remove one more source of confusion)

Cardstock Dane: ForestB, Tell me about it! I had big problems last year, loads of under extrusion, which I couldn't understand - until I realized, that the new filament I had bought needed a lower nozzle temp.

ForestB: Cardstock Dane, don't mention those evil devices!

Spent two 'fun' hours last night unclogging a heat break tube (the nozzle was a lost cause and replaced). Stupid bowden tube slipped and molten plastic spilled up into the heat break tube and congealed. Mar 22, 2023 12:25:21 GMT -9

ForestB: Hello there, creyates! Doing okayish, still creating though about to shift back into full builder mode to prep for a campaign. Mar 22, 2023 12:20:50 GMT -9

creyates: Hello! Hope everyone is doing well

Cardstock Dane: Good to see that this place is still going strong! I don't drop by as often after I got a 3D printer, but 3D or not, this place is still an important resource for my campaigns.

Punkrabbitt: Thank you, Mr. Vermin (or is that Mr. King?) I have my workaround now

Vermin King: I thought the security certificate was fixed already. I got the same error today. Clicked on Advanced, then Accept the Risk, and it opened Feb 17, 2023 6:07:00 GMT -9

creyates: Happy new year everyone! Wishing you all a better 2023! Jan 4, 2023 7:18:42 GMT -9

okumarts: I took a year 'off' of some sites and social media but also focused on other things. It really didn't seem to make a difference so my new years resolution is to re-engage and enjoy it more. Dec 28, 2022 19:32:45 GMT -9

Vermin King: There evidently was a feasibility study about a decade ago about a water pipeline from the Great Lakes to the Southwest states. I believe that water would have been even more expensive than bottled water Dec 28, 2022 6:33:56 GMT -9

squirmydad: Texas hired our snow plow drivers.

Dec 27, 2022 12:33:12 GMT -9

Vermin King: The Southwestern states haven't started negotiating to buy that snow off you, have they? Dec 26, 2022 16:24:58 GMT -9

Vermin King: At least we aren't that buried in snow. Pavement is mostly clear and dry now. We are only getting down to +9F tonight and by Thursday we will be back to 58. Dec 26, 2022 16:24:17 GMT -9

squirmydad: Freezing rain on ice today Dec 26, 2022 10:21:48 GMT -9

Vermin King: At 7AM we were at +3, got up to 17. Far better than the last two days Dec 24, 2022 15:04:11 GMT -9
