Spoken language is already inefficient, which is why we use so many shortcuts in it. If I’m texting someone about an upcoming event, I might also just use the day of the month or the weekday (wings on Fri?). But if I’m writing an email, signing a document, or doing something else that might be referenced weeks, months, or years in the future, ISO 8601 is the way to go.
Be the change you want to see. I use month names or ISO 8601 in anything written, have been for a year to the point where using month names is more accidental than anything else. If anyone asks, I mention it’s government standard. Hopefully, the ambiguous date forms die out faster than the Imperial system.
Our little bastard takes days to settle down after we take him and his littermate to the vet. They’ve been together their entire lives, but if either or both go to the vet, even in the same vehicle, he’s all “Who the fuck are you?!” when we get home. And his brother is all, “Aww geez, what the hell’s the matter now?” Every time.
I can’t think of a worse way to frame this discussion. There are significant differences between a 35 yo man dating a 15 yo girl and a 50 yo man dating a 30 yo woman, legality being just part of it. Swapping the genders doesn’t make it better.
The answer appears to be, “Yes, right here and now.” The post isn’t locked, you don’t appear to be banned, people are engaging you on the topic you raised. Is there something missing here that doesn’t satisfy your question?
The part you’re studiously ignoring is plenty of people saying yes, you could do this, but that it’s wildly inefficient. You could also power a bike by getting the biggest rock you could throw, tying a rope to it, applying the brakes on your bike, throwing the rock, releasing the brakes, and then pulling on the rope until you’ve collected your rock, and repeating until you’ve reached your destination. This will always work. But as long as your bike is in earthlike conditions, there will always be easier ways to do it. This is also the case for your idea.
This is simple math. We would need to increase our energy production by 1000 times to just treat water, maybe only 250 times if we used more efficient systems than simply heating it and letting the heat dissipate. If we doubled our energy production every year, it would still take a decade to do it (8 years if we were aiming at 250 times). That isn’t a realistic amount for a civilization at our tech level.
The French, at least in Canada, put the currency symbol after the number.
