Since last we net*, I started a serious apartment hunt. I saw one on Sunday that was being renovated and... wait, I should post this in the housing thread. I did visit the same building today (different apartment) and, for the occasion, took a caffeine pill. BOY, what a difference that made in my cognitive functions and overall ability to stay myself. I might have an ADD after all. Or it could be that I've been sleeping very badly.
I've also been given the date for my final exam of my final course of my bachelor's. The course is about program compilers and it's the 29th of May.

meant to write "met" and had a typo. I left it in because I thought it was a more appropriate word for an internet gathering.

How much Thursday could someone experience if they flew around the world?
Would it be a never ending Thursday? Always moving with the sun.
So there are aircraft that fly as fast as the Earth rotates, so it's possible you could experience an eternal Thursday. However, nearly all of these aircraft are military, and the one that isn't was retired about 15 years ago. You also have the problem of fuel, as flying that fast means expending a great deal of it. Fortunately most militaries that have these types of aircraft also have mid-air refueling capabilities, so as long as you have access to a never-ending supply of tankers and plan the route really well, you could fly for as long as you like. But, tankers are slow, so you'd also have to precisely slow down your very fast plane, then refuel, then accelerate to faster than you were originally flying to make up for lost time.
And then you eventually cross the International Date Line and it's Friday.

I see.
Dread it. Run from it. Friday arrives all the same.
Well, it's finally happened. At last...it's Thursday. It's all downhill from here.
This is it, Houk. We’ve reached the apex. The pinnacle. The apogee. This week has been summited. We’ve seen the crest, and the only thing that horizon could hold for us now is bitter disappointment.
Let’s at least enjoy Thursday while it lasts.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

Because of imperialism, of course.

I thought it was due to the imperial to metric conversion

This is the life.
And it is the last Fridax I will ever have here in this building as we move to mandatory WFH.
I dunno yet.
Could be good could be bad.
