I wonder why they don't teach that in schools...    oh yeah... I know why.

Well, don’t leave me hanging. Please enlighten me.

[j_tour]

You people seem smart.

It took my like an hour to assemble the floor stands for the monitors.

And I haven't even got the organ+pedals up yet, nor the mixer, nor the digital piano, nor the Rhodes, nor even some sheet music stands.

Yeah. right.

Chuck Rambo Norris would have done it!

(No, it's true, I've never blown the drivers out of the little KRK monitors, even using tons of bass....it's called restraint!)

[perfect_pitch]

I thought the answer was bloody obvious... I'll give you a few more hours to think of the answer. C'mon - you're relatively smart. You should be able to get this...

Hmm… 🤔. Well I know it’s not what clocks normally look like. 3 of the 12 numbers are different but normal clocks are still basically a base 12 system. Just like feet and inches, months in the year, chromatic notes in the octave.
Why they don’t teach that in school …? Beats me, but maybe they should. Base 12 is clearly the superior counting system.
Factors of 10: 4 (1, 2, 5, 10)
Factors of 16: 5 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16)
Factors of 12: 6 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12)
Base 12 wins.

Now I eagerly await my roasting 

[perfect_pitch]

Every clock is a base 10 system. The numbers go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12.

NONE of the other numbers are in any other base other than the base 10 system. Clocks are NOT a base 12 system.

No one uses feet and inches. HECK, even I didn't use feet and inches and I went through the first few formidable years in Scotland.

Again, the dates are all written in base 10 numbers; and who the hell cares if there are more factors of 12 than there are of 10. No one cares.

Why not base 60? The factors of 60 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60. What's your point???

Why don't they teach base 12 in school??? Because no one gives a crap about it, and it's IRRELEVANT!!!

Base 12 systems with base 10 labels. But you're right, who cares? I'm bored now. You boys have fun. 

[lostinidlewonder]

Who cares when you can shave the baby. Always shave the baby.

[perfect_pitch]

I'd ask why you need to shave a baby... they don't even work hard enough to develop a 17:00 shadow.

[lostinidlewonder]

They enjoy it, can you see in the picture the joy.

[perfect_pitch]

Babies enjoy peek-a-book and playing with bubble wrap.

Hardly a high bar of standards.

[lostinidlewonder]

You gotta enjoy the simple things in life more, go play peek-a-boo with a stranger, hide and seek with the cops.

[perfect_pitch]

go play peek-a-boo with a stranger

I think that's how most amber alerts start... people forget "stranger danger", and play games with people they've never known and seem to trust.

[lostinidlewonder]

No need to worry about stranger danger when you can be the dangerous stranger, makes things easier.

Yes.  But where's your windowless van?  I'm shy and would like privacy.

What is all this shite about clocks and number systems? 

The French had it right the first time, with the base ten clock (and calendrial system).  Look it up and weep:  the base ten "metric" clock from one of France's revolutionary times.

Sorry to say, but the boy had it right with the clock system.  That is modulo twelve.  And why anybody sensible uses a 24-hour clock, which is also modulo twelve.

Well, that's not why sensible people use a twenty-four hour clock, but it's still true that no sensible person refuses that convention.

By that, I presume you mean I was right? Anyway, let me clarify it for Klavieronin who seems to have disappeared recently from the conversation.

Base 12 systems with base 10 labels.

IT'S NOT A BASE 12 SYSTEM...   



 The clock uses modulo twelve (which is not a base 12 numbers system - it just means that the numbers cycle through 1-12 e.g. 11:00am 12:00pm, 1:00pm etc...), but our number system is still decimal. Just because you segment day into 24 segments (hours - hence why the 24-hour system is beneficial if failing to mention the am/pm, very useful for computers), and the hour into 60 minute fragments does not mean we use the base 12 numbering system; otherwise we'd have times like X:2E (Try figuring out what time that's meant to be)... I'll give you a hint:

Now I eagerly await my roasting 

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

[klavieronin]

Meh… not bad. I was hoping for something a little pointier, though. Are you going to assign me my homework now, Sir?

[perfect_pitch]

Accept Base 10 numbering... and while you're at it - forget the imperial system of measurement exists.

It's a relic of a bygone past.

So long you don't scream we won't have any problems. But..... please scream.

I sometimes worry about you... psychologically speaking...

...but then I take a couple of glasses of wine, and I stop caring and get on with my life.

[lostinidlewonder]

Why? Are you taking what's written here as factual windows into someone's psyche? Hahah..... wait...... HAHAHAHA

[perfect_pitch]

I somehow suspect that a lot of what you say is parts of the truth that you accidentally let slip...

I don't think you're as sane as you think you are.     

[lostinidlewonder]

Errr ok, you go with that story of yours, you're a six pack short of a carton. You must be a raving alcoholic based on your logic, talking about drinking, whiskey and alcoholics anon. Yes yes, I kidnap people in my van and offer them candy and enjoy hearing people scream, yep sounds so truthful right? lol

Yeah, and you come off as a damn bogan... not a good look. We were having a casual discussion about Maths and time, and you started with the creepy crap like 'please scream' in reference to little kids and windowless vans???

Maybe take a Valium and mellow the fxck out.

[lostinidlewonder]

You're living in Australia, embrace the slang or go live back in Scotland. Since when is this thread about keeping in line with pps discussion? Me thinks you protest far too much, but maybe that's just you, you like to complain a lot lol. Yo momma should have spanked you more. You're the one who tries to make it personal and then cries about it later on when he can't handle the heat. Here's a tip, if you don't like the direction of the convo steer it elsewhere because you perpetuated it as much as I, Mr not so innocent. Also my convo was with Mr J, no need to take my quotes out of context to fit your little story.

Wow... talk about a hissy fit. Are your knickers in a knot? Woke up on the wrong side of the bed???

Whatever it is... I don't care.

[lostinidlewonder]

Don't start coming off as a bogan with your rude finger signs now PP, or should I say Mr Hypocrite? Your mum obviously didn't teach you to play nicely with the other kids, an outcast perhaps? You know you cannot respond to my comments because it's you who is in the wrong, I win.

[perfect_pitch]

Man... whinge, whinge whinge. I don't respond to your comments because that's all you do... whinge.

Get a bottle of wine and mellow out... or don't.

Again, don't give a crap.







P.S. Just for you.

It doesn't bother me, why should i care about the actions of someone who I don't know? You just outing yourself as a hypocrite, calling me a bogan and then in the same breath your actions show you're much worse a bogan lol. I find it hilarious. You don't respond because you can't, too much winning to argue against haha.

And sorry I don't drink, probably why I defeat your lack of logic all the time, you're drunk posting.

Who whines and whinges all the time? Oh it's you when you cry about comedy you don't like, or anything else you don't like lol. Oh gosh your lack of logic is very funny.

[perfect_pitch]

Please don't mistake my ignoring you for being 'unable to match your critical and intelligent wit'. I ignore you because life is too much fun to have to deal with annoying and irksome people.

I already know quite a few in my real life, and having to deal with another one on the internet is just more tedium I shouldn't really have to endure...

I'm just going to ignore you from now on.

Where the hell is J_Tour... he was a lot more fun and kept the conversation civil (for the most part).

[j_tour]

God damned!

What the hell is wrong with you people?

Just sit down and shut up!

Nothing to do with wit just the truth, it's hard when it stares you in the face.

Ah so having issues with multiple people, wonder with who the problem lies then lol.

Can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Lol

I think it's their 'time of the month' again. I seem to see many cycles of LiiW having a spat attack and being rather snippy... clearly it's related to another type of cycle.   

...and it ain't the lunar cycle.

Do you one better. 

I'd much rather forget the entire British empire ever existed, or had at least been roundly thrashed in the Seven Years War and lost dominion in the new world. 

Don't forget:  that old queen is still your head of state.

First of all - if the British hadn't colonised this country, it wouldn't be what it is today. Yes, it might be a little different and it might have had a different culture, different population density and whatnot, but it wouldn't be the great country it is today.

You've got Britain that is just turning into an absolute TRASH-PILE with immigration going through the roof just waltzing into Britain and getting free money, housing and a whole bunch of crap from the hard tax-paying citizens who are embarrassed about their country nowadays...

Then you've got America who is being run by an absolute tyrant of a man who is now just rounding people up and claiming they're terrorists so they can be shipped off the country; while telling the mayor of LA to 'sod off' because they don't agree with each other while the city tears itself apart from being ruled under the iron thumb of Trump.

And here in Australia... while he have a weak, pissant of a man running the country (Albanese) who wouldn't win a fight with an 8 year old; we have great housing that isn't too expensive (if you were smart enough to buy before 2022 and saw the warning signs), and fantastic coffee - so much so we told Starbucks to fxck off, because we don't want their milky crap here.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else thank you very much... so I'm grateful to the British who stumbled over here and made this country what it is today.

And technically the King is the head of state now... the 'Queen' died almost 3 years ago. For goodness sake J_Tour - keep up with the times.

He's as straight as an arrow... He may be a bit of a ponce; and by that I mean a silver spoon up his arse and a stiff upper lip, but he ain't a queen.

Maybe not in the literal sense....but he's such a fool, and always been.  For the past thirty years or so he's always spouting off about some ridiculous conspiracy theory or some such twaddle.

Not that it matters; it just tends to populate the British press whenever he goes on some inane rant, which can be distracting.

Obviously, as an American, I'm in no position to judge your head of state nor head of government....ahem....Scott Morrison.....trust me, I'm very much aware of "some problems" with US governance as well as the "choices" of my compatriots....

But I still think it would have been better if the French prevailed in the North American "front" back in the day.  I don't think the French would have massacred with such glee the aboriginals.
