The point is that those are 2 separate and distinct units. I’m not saying it’s not a valid representation of time. I’m say the units in this case are actually hours and minutes, not only hours. It is compounded by the fact that the title is talking about time in a way that is ultimately also a ratio (something a colon is also used to represent), the ratio of hours on the device to the hours in a day. There were many other ways to represent this data that would have been less ambiguous, more clearly showing real differences at a glance, and paying attention to using more appropriate significant digits.

This place should be called mapshitposting for how often actual map enthusiasts get voted down for pointing out amateur mapping and statistical blunders here.

Are these ratios of hours online in a day (3:11 implies 3 out of 11 hours) online per day? That seems unlikely given how difficult comparisons like that would be to make.

That leaves the other option that these “hours” are actually hours and minutes (hours:minutes). But, that option is almost as bad simply because then the map subtitle has lied to us through omission in not mentioning minutes.

This map should have either just shown the number of total minutes or shown the hours in decimal rounded to a sane number of significant digits. Making a distinction of a minute or three amongst such broadly general averages of almost certainly guesstimated numbers self reported in a survey seems a poor choice.

Some of those “morals” need to decay.

With no more due process, an ID and proof of citizenship do not matter at all. They’re not checking ID’s before hauling people away. And given ICE is going around masked and without uniforms there is no way to verify their authority either. I absolutely loath violence to a point, and that tipping point is the safety of the people in my family and community, regardless of their citizenship. If a group of unidentified masked gunman are attempting to kidnap someone, the only truly patriotic American response is to defend their liberty with all necessary force. Given the murder happy training of our law enforcement, that will obviously result in tragic deaths. But that, protecting the people (all the people, not just citizens) from a corrupt government, is the fundamental justification for the 2nd amendment, always has been.

It’s a misleading legend, but the note at the bottom tries to clear it up a bit. This map seems to more be like “We took the range maps of 238 species of fish and overlaid them. The red area is where practically all of those range maps of each 238 species of fish overlapped.” Of course there are other fish, but they were not included here because the map maker didn’t have the right kind of dataset for them. To me that seems to indicate that this map isn’t so much a map of actual biodiversity measured, but the potential for biodiversity of the region. Given that it’s fish, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that this area is somewhere between/near the northern continent’s biggest river, a large gulf, and ancient mountain range, and a coast with a strong warm current (for now…).

normal shirt buttons, which come off fairly regularly.

Maybe your technique isn’t sufficient and the posted method isn’t as “over the top” as you claim, but fundamental to not loosing buttons.

You’re a hypocrite with a whole lot of hate. I hope you get help.

Incapable of abstraction and introspection? Sports is a really weird thing to be a small minded bigot about.

Okay then, I guess you’re okay with idiots ranting the same way about your pronouns.

They wouldn’t be selling it if they didn’t have a market. Just because it doesn’t make sense to you, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t make sense.

Shitting on other people’s lifestyles and the things they like because you don’t like them and don’t understand them seems kind of antithetical to the philosophy of this community as I understand it. No? Would it be appropriate for Americans to start mocking English football and their scarves?

Setting the obviously racist inane bullshit aside, what the fuck does this question have to do with vocabulary? Those are all concepts expressed phrases, a concept entirely different that vocabulary.

Next time you tape over it, try this. Cut an old credit card, hotel key card, or something similar to just larger than the switch’s recess. Tape only the top edge to the machine so that the stiff plastic or cardboard covers the switch, but can be lifted up and out of the way when you need to access it. I’ve used a similar trick to protect light switches I wanted to occasionally use, but not accidentally flip along with the other switches in the next gang over.

Rude.

I was going to say something snarky too, but this is the only sane take here. Nothing more needs to be said.

Ok, not to many other comments, still though.

Bro, if you didn’t want people to respond with genuine takes on what you post and if you’re going to be so defensive, why are you even here?

Also, I’m not defending anything. DST should be the standard time because we spend most of the year in it anyway. But that’s just my own opinion, which I feel no need to defend to you or anyone else.

You’re so wound up about making your point and defending your point of view that you’re not actually comprehending my comments. It’s your map in the sense that you are presenting it to us, who authored it isn’t really relevant to this discussion.

Just pointing out the ridiculousness of getting petty and insulting about the way other people define time scales because you don’t agree. There is no objective truth here, just subjective opinions. ALL of those opinions and methods have flaws, especially your beloved “everyone should just use UTC”. There is no such thing as “correct” here, so putting that word in your map’s title and using “right” and “wrong” in this discussion is just naive.

We spend most of our year in daylight savings time. Standard time is the pretendy-magic-time.

This map really brings home how awful this projection is for this map’s purpose and how awful most projections really are near the poles. Greenland isn’t that big. I know this map is Plate Carree, not Mercator, but the size issue of an equirectangular projection is really similar when comparing longitude and size for the entire globe from pole to equator. 15 degrees of longitude for a timezone stops making sense that close to the poles. Greenland would mostly fit in the central time zone of the United States for example. Given its sparse population, dividing it up into 3 timezones seems unnecessary.
