My mother produces training videos for state government, and she had to do a real one of those for HR and management.
She still sounds a little in awe when talking about it.

I wish people would get used to this! I'm no millenial, but getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning doesn't work for me either!

I am not a millennial, getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning doesn't work for me, but I have to...
My wife brings the kid to kindergarten in the morning and I pick her up after lunch.
If I want to get my word-day done, I have no other option than being in the office between 06:30h and 07:00h (although I could start at 09:00h if I would like to), which means waking up at 05:00h or 05:15h
It was a PITA to change my biorhythm, but I enjoy being able to pick my kid up and play the rest of the afternoon with her.
And that's the biggest difference I see with the newer generations... Even when there are good reasons to do something, they don't

Ugly American here, what's the 'h' at the end of the times mean?
|
|
|
|

"h" = hour
Probably a false friend...?
How do you distinguish between a timestamp and other kind of numbers that could be similar in the format?

The only number format that I come across that has colons( : ) in them are timestamps.
Similar topic:
Americans write large numbers like so 123,456,789.1324
The period is the decimal point.
I've seen numbers from other parts of the world written 123.456.789,1324
The comma is the decimal point.
Anybody got a good reason (other than the "Americans have to be different") how that came to be?

Not a millennial either.
I work from home. While I'm pretty much always awake at 6, I certainly don't get up at that time.
That said, if I had to commute (and I've done it for plenty of years), I'd probably negotiate so I can arrange my schedule so I'm at the office before morning rush hour (which starts before 6)--then leave before the evening rush hour.

Agreed that it might be the case for some, but then again - The bad example usually don't represent the masses. Of course it's nice to be able to show up at the office between 8 and 11 - But if the person enjoying this freedom isn't performing as expected, and unable to show up at 7 on that *one* day it is necessary: Fire them. With actual fire.

According to the video blurb, it's a series, not a movie:
Quote: ... to announce that he's going to reprise his role as Captain Picard in a new Star Trek series for CBS.
There are new movies coming out as well: "Star Trek 4" in the Abramsverse, and a Quentin Tarantino one.
Plus some other TV series - the awful-sounding "Starfleet Academy" one; one based around Khan; a mysterious "limited series" that nobody seems to know anything about yet; and a new animated series.
Also rumours of a new stand-alone Star Trek-related trilogy from Nicholas Meyer, but that could be scuppered by the CBS / Paramount legal battles.

While I hope for the best in that it will be the classic Star Trek we used to love I cannot help but remember that the fan-made projects and Seth MacFarlane have been doing a better job of portraying the Star Trek universe than CBS and Paramount have in the last decade.

Hopefully Stewart carries enough weight to tell the writers what they're doing is crap, if it comes to that.
If he's been in talks with The Powers That Be for over 6 months, as he claims in the video, I suspect he's not going to put up with garbage. So...I remain cautiously optimistic.

was looking at these things, still either too expensive or if cheap just garbage. yeah the expensive ones are OK for what I want, but I'd rather something simpler (thus cheaper) than having 200 extra features that I'll never use.
and I'm a short sleeve person, really don't want something that looks like a stupid hospital bracelet.
noticed some chinese activity trackers have "pedo meters," I'm curious,
1. how do they detect pedos?
2. what if the wearer goes pedo?
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

Just don't ask... Why don't they get some one who is familiar with the West proof read the ads.

No no, that's just a spelling error, it must be "Dope meter"

I like to sneak other peoples trackers and walk backwards with them on. Then they'll be like "I thought I had 10,000 steps today". Its great.
