Sorry love, it was meant for watcher. Just a casual conversation about masturbating and that from time to time, I squirt, and that I'm not a fan of that term. Wish there was a word for it that sounds a little sexier

Juicy Fruit. As in, “I want your juicy fruit. Give Daddy a mouthful, I’m very thirsty.”

I learned (by watching Jeopardy!) that Sesame Street's Big Bird is 6-1/2 years old, and has been for over fifty years now.

My guess was Dennis the Menace, but he's been (however many years old he is) for closer to 70 years.

TIL that you can now see your Uber score!

The ratings summary is tucked away in the app’s new Privacy Center, which you can find in the settings menu, under the user profile at the top right of the app. Tap Privacy, then Privacy Center. Swipe until you see the tile asking, “Would you like to see a summary of how you use Uber?” Tap See Summary then scroll until you reach the Ratings tab.

A breakdown there tells you how many drivers gave you each of the five possible star ratings that make up your average score. You might find the results surprising.

I had 41 5 stars, and three 1 stars. Just pisses me off, because if you drop below 4.7, a lot of drivers won’t pick you up.

CHICAGO ORCHARD AIRPORT: LtCmdr Edward Henry "Butch" O'Hare (1914 – Nov 26, 1943) was a US Navy fighter pilot, who on February 20, 1942 became the US Navy's 1st  flying ace and Medal of Honor recipient in WW II. Butch O'Hare's final action took place on night of Nov 26, 1943, while he was leading US Navy's 1st ever nighttime fighter attack launched from an aircraft carrier. During this encounter with a group of /Japanese torpedo bombers, O'Hare's F6F Hellcat was shot down; his aircraft was never found. A few years later, O'Hare was honored when Colonel Robert R. McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, suggested a name change of Chicago's Orchard Depot Airport as tribute to Butch O'Hare. On September 19, 1949, the Chicago, Illinois airport was renamed O'Hare International Airport. The airport displays a Grumman F4F-3  museum aircraft replicating the one flown by Butch O'Hare during his Medal of Honor flight.

That today's date, 22 February 2022, is both a palindrome and an ambigram.  The date will read the same from left to right, from right to left and upside down!

And in a little more than an hour, it will be 2:22 pm.

If we'd use 24 hour format, we could have 22:22 later this evening

Some military still do use it.  I do on occasion.  I'll bet S does all the time.

I do actually. for two main reasons. Well three counting Allan. My dad thinks it's fun to use, and mostly I need it for work, so my phone is set for military time.

Once in the military, some things are just hard to forget.  Lot easier than saying am or pm.  I still write the date starting with the date, then month, then year.

true watcher, 
Once I had bought a digital wristwatch which had been set on military time/ 24 hour standards. At first I was annoyed, but then got used to it.
(Though after being returned from a battery replacement, it was set to the usual Am/pm system, and I was surprised that I felt nostalgic about the 24 hours standard.)
And as for the date, dunno what may be there, but that’s the usual standard here.

Exactly, whenever I need to spell out my german last name over the phone, I do it with the phonetic alphabet. Because my last name has a lot of letters that sound the same like B and E I tell them I'll spell it "military style" and then start Kilo Alpha... oops 😘

Didn't you already guess Slobbernobben or something like that?

I always do my dates the world style of DMY, not MDY (only US does this).

I always do military time. It’s 15:00, not 3 pm.

Finally because I am hearing impaired, I always used military call signs Alpha Bravo Charlie. Hay Bee Sea is too confusing.

The military understands the need for precise communication, lack of ambiguity, and no room for confusion. So the military way is always better. IMHO.

Does anyone know why the USA adopted MDY? And isn't YMD the easiest fot sorting algorithms?
