The same kind who have a separate variable for ignore-wordlist-regex that’s just another list of users almost identical to the first one.


Stardew Valley, the 1.6 update adds lots of small new content in all the right places to really take the game to the experience I imagine ConcernedApe always wanted it to be. This is something like my 10th playthrough and it’s easily my favorite one since the 1st.

Whenever it comes out, I’m so excited for Haunted Chocolatier.


Almost all of this would be true if we celebrated a day (or two) each year that were outside of the months and weeks, except events tied to points in our orbit would stay put a lot more. We would still have the same calendar every year. In your version we have a full extra week every 6 or so years, in mine every year we have a dedicated New Year’s Day that isn’t in a regular month or a day of the week, and every 4 or so years (same rules as now) we have 2 New Year’s Days.

Though I would argue for Sunday being the 1st day of each month/year. IMO weekends should be like bookends, one on either side.

Edit: your Wiki link contained a link to the International Fixed Calendar, which I’ve been inadvertently arguing for. This is almost identical to what I’ve been proposing, except they put the leap day at the end of June. But it fixes the major disadvantage of your system: that a year isn’t a year. In your system 1/1 is never one year away from 1/1. In mine it is within leap day drift, just like the current calendar.



Lmfao, that would totally be the solution the US would implement. “How can we do this in the most complicated, error-prone way?”


Ahh, that makes sense. Here I was thinking it would be fun to have a day or two every year that weren’t any day of the week.

The leap week is a little bit of an unsatisfying solution since it means solstices and equinoxes will shift around a lot more. Also not as likely to get governments and employers to be willing to treat them as holidays.

I highly doubt we’ll move from our current calendar anytime soon. Its flaws aren’t bad enough to justify the effort, but I would really love a more symmetrical calendar. And payroll folks would probably love it too. Hourly and salary structures would be a lot more in sync.


And the extra day is a special interstitial holiday in the “14th” month, right? And leap days go into that holiday month as well.
