My building's superintendent and I got in a weird debate today about the notices they posted about how the water was gonna be shut off "from 10 AM to 12 AM" for repairs.

Me: "So no water all day?"
Super: "Read the notice! It'll be back at noon."
Me: "Oh! There's a typo in the notice, I guess. Should say 12 PM"
Super: "There's no typo. 12 PM would be midnight. 12 AM is noon."
Me: "That's incorrect, but thanks for the info."
Super: (very annoyed) "How is it incorrect?!"
Me: "You have it backwards. 12 PM means noon, 12 AM is midnight."
Super: "How can it be midnight if it's in the morning?"
Me: (struggling to find the words to explain) "Well because... I mean, it's... uhh"
Super: "Ah, you see? OK, I have things to do now." (leaves)

To avoid these sort of misunderstandings I will always go with 12:01pm. Added advantage is it makes me look ridiculously efficient.

How does that change anything in this scenario

The road closure signs around here have very wisely starting displaying start time of 11:59pm to avoid confusion.

Road closed Friday 11:59pm until Monday 4:45am or some such.

Friday Midnight obviously confused people.

I'm sitting on a park bench eating my lunch and a young guy came and put a plastic takeaway container full of seeds down in the lawn a bit in front of me and then came and sat on the other side of the bench. He keeps insisting that the pigeons are curious but I really don't think they care

[doug rr]

what are you having for lunch?

[96583UP]

i heated up a few steamed pork buns from costco

worked up an appetite after a brief step out to cast a few lines into the sea water

beautiful day and a very high tide due to celestial happenings

i caught one fluke, was only 14 inches so threw it back. was nice to get a bite though

the ocean is big and full of life

waves and love

[The Argonaut]

what are you having for lunch?

Sliced strawberries with ground flax seed
A handful of walnuts, one Brazil nut, one medjool dates
Leftover taco stuffings (textured soy protein with taco seasonings, tomato, pink beans) with a bunch of romaine lettuce, some tempeh, a tablespoon of nutritional yeast, and some hemp seeds mixed in

[Jorge]

Nutritious. Balanced macros. Dense in micronutrients. Minimally processed. Proud of you

In this scenario, it wouldn't be Friday midnight. It'd be Saturday midnight. Friday 11:59pm --> Saturday midnight

You proved their point. The sign guys were right

If the sign said no water 10am to 1201pm it would have been correct, no?

[Jorge]

Maybe. I don't really know how this man's mind works.

No wonder there aren’t many RM meetups
