Sioux Falls SD is 43.5460°N
Rapid City SD is 44.0805°N
Sioux Falls Sunset is at 5:13pm CST
Rapid City Sunset is at 4:38pm MST
If both cities were in CST, Rapid City sun would set at 5:38pm CST
Due to the latitude difference, the sunsets should be 25 minutes apart
However, they are 35 minutes apart due to the time zone difference
If you said “Sioux Falls is farther south than Rapid City” and tried to base sunset time on just that, you’d be wrong.
It’s not just north or south
It’s almost 22 UTC
Which is 5pm EST
8am EST is when most work starts
That’s 15 hours from now
So work would start at 13 UTC
Yes, these are arbitrary numbers. Doesn’t matter if we go to work at 8am EST or 13 UTC.
However, this has nothing to do with daylight savings time or with what daylight savings time is trying to accomplish.
This is a good picture showing how different places experience different sunrise/sunset times.
Most just think that it has to do with being north or south but it also has to do with left or right depending on the location in the certain time zone.
You’re not throwing fire with a bic on a stick
Now a bic in a slingshot…
Don’t think of anything real
My favorite trick is to think of myself in a movie and play it out. I commonly put myself in Harry Potter. I walk up to the hogwarts castle door…then I just have fun making stuff up and playing it out like a movie in my head. Next thing I know, I’m asleep.
If I get too far, I just pick a different movie and start over
The worst thing you can do while falling asleep is thinking about the real world. The present, past, or future. Nope, don’t think about it.
Clear your mind and jump start a dream

They would probably be against that too though
Looks based off his famous baseball card
Imagine it like a car steering wheel.
You’d say turning the wheel to the right turns the car right.
Think of it like this. Like your hand is holding on the top of the steering wheel.
I saw it as
I thought it was funny when i first saw it. I see the whole car thing now after reading the comment. So maybe the stick figure never leaves his house and just gets blowjobs. They could be a sex worker that takes money for letting other stick figures suck their stick. And they are waiting for their next client in-between. Or the stick figure in the first frame is the one giving blowjobs and waiting.
“The 3PO-series protocol droid, also known as the 3PO-series protocol unit, was a model of protocol droid produced by Cybot Galactica sometime prior to the Invasion of Naboo. They were equipped with a TranLang III communication module, and as a result were fluent in over 6 million forms of communication. C-3PO was an example of this model, though he was rebuilt out of spare parts. TC-series protocol droids appeared similar to 3PO units.”
Wookieepedia
There are a ton of 3PO-series droids in the Star Wars universe.
Vader would not look at a 3P0 droid and think “maybe that’s the droid I built as a child and left on a plant in the outer rim”
Same with R2-D2
It’s just for the movie sake that there aren’t 30 CP0s and 50 R2-D2 units running around in the background. “Wait did Biggs just get R2 in his x-wing?” No, it’s some completely different droid I’ve never seen. Some things have to be adapted for the movie.
As for difficulty, no harder than building like a PC. If there are a ton of CP0 units, he simply takes working parts from a dozen broken ones and pieces them together. He’s a child, they fib and stretch the truth. He could have just attached new legs to the unit that needed only legs and then went through the setup process of “programing” him.
He didn’t Tony Stark C3P0. He pieced together a robot from pre-made CP0 scrap parts.
I mean, technically, anything can go illiterate
We have had weather modification technology for 20+ years.
First known use in war was in 1967, called Operation Popeye.
Now could the government create a category 5 hurricane? Very farfetched.
It’s crazy to think that God intervened at the last possible second.
Like maybe give a hint to the SS that the guy was on the roof?
Like maybe make the gun jam or misfire?
Nope, God said, “I’m going to let the bullet graze his ear, lol. Oh yeah, Corey Comperatore, I’m just not going to intervene on that one…”
Trump could have at least made it in memory of Corey Comperatore. But nope, he’s got to make it about only himself.
Decimeters are great. You should try to use them more.
Something that is like 2.5 ft. I can easily convert to 7.5 decimeters. Then .75 meters. There is no way i could convert 2.5 ft to meters without some serious thinking, and paper would help.
Precise has nothing to do with what units you use. Mm is not more precise than Cm
36.982 mm is 3.6982 cm. They are both as precise as each other.
Humans are much better at knowing an inch or a foot in distance than a yard or a meter.
If I said, draw a line that is 4in or 1 decimeter. You would be closer than trying to draw a meter line.
I work in building in the US. I know an inch and a foot like the back of my hand. I never deal with yards. For yards, I’d just think of it in feet and ×3. Just like I’d do with decimeters.
I know the metric system, but my default unit is US Customary.
If I had to look at a room, I could tell you instantly if it was either 25 or 30 ft. If you asked for meters I couldn’t just say “I know exactly how long a meter is (without thinking about it being basically a yard), that wall is closer to 7 meters than 9 meters”
I’d have to constantly work with meters to do that. Which I don’t.
I’m not against things being gradually changed to metric. A lot of things are in metric. Like a 2L bottle of soda. If you put a pitcher of water in front of me and asked how many liters. I’d have to think of the 2L bottle. Just like if you asked for gallons, I’d think of a milk jug. Now I have a good grip on what 5 gallons is because that’s the standard construction bucket, but 5L is 2.5 2L sodas.
I wouldn’t be nearly as precise if I used metric without decimeters. Inches and Feet are the measurements I use the majority of the time. Even a 100ft wall is a 100ft wall. It’s never referred to as a 33.33 yard wall. Using a metric unit closest to inches and feet is beneficial for me.
Thank you. You did a great job explaining it.
The gradients change based on time zones. You’ll see how they line up.
Walking over a time zone line changes time one hour, but the sunset time doesn’t magically change an hour.
Like say you are standing between Georgia and Alabama. If you walk into Georgia the sun will set at around 5:30pm EST. If you walk into Alabama the sun will set at around 4:30pm CST.
The sun is setting one hour earlier in Alabama but you are basically watching the exact same sunset.
As you go further west into Alabama the time zone change “makes more sense” because the time zone being exactly between Alabama and Georgia doesn’t make sense other than them being separate states.
