@muri@troet.cafe @osma@mas.to @rpsu@mas.to @ysbreker@idlethumbs.social and now helping my wife work out combinations of working hours in hours-and-minutes and/or fractions of hours for her work administration, I'm reminded we should also go decimal time... 😀

Three concrete measures of time: the orbital period around our local heat source, the rotation period around our axis, and 9192631770 vibrations of the Cs-133 atom. The latter may look arbitrary but if you change it, you change every other unit of measurement, as well. So decimal what? Swatch "Beat" was stupid. @mossman@social.vivaldi.net @muri@troet.cafe @rpsu@mas.to @ysbreker@idlethumbs.social
