Twins born right near midnight could have different birthdays
  • In the US and Canada at least, there are laws that cover granting birthright citizenship to people born in their airspace of those countries. And since they share a border, it could happen, in theory. Would also depend on the citizenship status of the parents, I imagine…

    In practice, I would hope you are right, this would not cause any issues. But if it happened, it would probably get news attention, and who knows what follows from that.

  • Tesla owners are typically white men earning six figures
  • The use of “six figures” as a measure of affluence goes back to at least the 60’s… if we use 1970 as a baseline, a salary of $100,000 then is $800,000 today, accounting for inflation.

    Inflation isn’t the whole picture , but helps to demonstrate how dated the phrase is.

  • Terry Pratchett Audiobooks Are Hit With Trigger Warnings
  • It’s true, but I wonder what aspects of the books they feel needed such a notice in order to provide context.

    I can only assume they thought readers would be surprised or put off by something, or do they put a caution notice on all of their books written in the early 80’s?
