Who needs clocks that don't adjust themselves?
Also, who needs non-DST?

Four students go to the washroom at the same time, lining up at the stand-up facilities.
The medical student finishes first and walks to the sink and begins thoroughly washing his hands. He explains that doctors need very clean hands.
The physics student walks out without going near the sink. He explains that physicists do not urinate on their hands.
The engineer also breezes out, explaining that engineers do not need clean hands.
The arts student is still standing at the urinal, looking at the chrome fixture and saying "Shiny!"

Speaking of Nokia phones, my current (and only) cell phone is a Nokia 3285 that I bought in about 2002. I just replaced the battery for the first time about a year ago. At my usual usage rate, I charge the phone about three times a year, whether it needs it or not.

Oh, my. But that cats! think of the cats!
(True story: The music in that video was inspired by a dream that @OmCheeto had where he met @Borek in a pet fish shop.)
Seriously though, I tried to make Fish Sim for Cats compatible with Windows phones [and Windows tablets]. I did my due diligence and gave it a good try. It did not go well. I gave up in the end.
Fish Sim for Cats is a high quality fish simulator for cats! Available for free, without ads, on Apple IOS (App Store), Android (Google Play Store), and Amazon (Apps and Games).

You did a Fish Sim for Android? Ok, I'm going to install it on my Android TV box which is connected to my TV and see how my cat responds to it. If something interesting happens, I will try to film it and post it in the Kitten lovers thread.collinsmark said:

For now it's just phones and tablets. It would probably work, but I don't have a platform to test it on.[Edit: the app requires touch-screen and orientation sensor capabilities. I'm not certain, but I don't think all Android TVs have a built in orientation sensor, so it probably won't work on those.]

I will let you know when I've tested it. But I also remembered that the last time I used the Android box (which is a https://www.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_555832.html, which was remarkably good considering the low price) it got stuck in a "boot loop" after I installed some new, maybe too system intrusive, software. So I may have to reinstall the firmware on it which I've done before with updated firmware from the vendor.collinsmark said:I didn't make it officially compatible with Android TV.

Just don't use it too often. Hunting without ever catching anything can be frustrating for the cat.

How mean. Most people will need internet to look it up to get 10 digits, so they will run around in circles, as for the internet access they need internet. And although the password is also kind of circular, it isn't cyclic. Mean. And the 11th digit is a 5.Ibix said:

I guess this password was the reason why Archimedes, Euler, Leibniz, Wallis, and so many more tried to find a representation. They all must have been customers of this shop.Ibix said:

Sounds plausible. You'd have to wonder who the proprietor was, though.fresh_42 said:

A nuclear power reactor is being brought back to full power from a sudden shutdown.
Manager comes into the control room and asks "why haven't we reached full power yet?"
Control room senior operator replies "We are waiting for Xenon"
Manager replies "I don't know the last name of that Xenon , but once he is back to work and we are at full power I want to see him in my office!"
