 They won't be able to count for a few years, but when the time comes, they'll be able to practice by using their unusual birthdays.

At least four babies were born Saturday at 10:11 a.m. across the United States. If you follow the American style of writing dates, that means they arrived at 10:11 on 12/13/14.

Parents David and Katherine Jones did not realize they'd hit that sequence of numbers until a nurse excitedly pointed it out, said Kimberly Romo, a spokeswoman for Tucson Medical Center in Arizona.

The couple had other things on their mind -- Victoria Marie Jones was not due until December 31. Instead, she came early via C-section.

"The doctors just said it had to be like right now, and none of us realized what time it was," David Jones told CNN. "One of the nurses in there is the one that actually caught it. All of this happened so fast."

or CST or MST or AKST or HST?

 

We've got tons of time zones :D 

 

 

Hardly tons in the USA which is where they counted the babies from! I think the six mentioned are all of them already!

 

A buddy of mine texted me, out of the blue, with the message, 12 13 14, typed just like that and wondered why I didn't know what the heck he was talking about!

The same number would be far more interesting than this. Something like 2:22:22 on 2/2/2222, for example.

 

Too bad Numerology stuff isn't actually real. Or maybe it's a good thing Numerology isn't real. /shrug

Ha, we are just bits of meat, living on a ball of rock, orbiting a ball of fire, orbiting a bigger ball of fire, moving rapidly away from a epicenter of a big explosion.

Our arbitrary numbers regarding time are meaningless.

their date is illogical anyway.

 

it goes smallest, second small, high, middle, highest number.

 

counting like that only make logical sense when each number is sequentially higher than the next. placing day after month does't work then. besides being ass backwards to begin with :p

 

but then we're talking about a nation where you need a calculator to know how how many inches 12 feet is. whereas, we always know that 12 meters is 1200 cm :)

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The $1,428 option The Steam Hardware lineup that Valve announced last year is slowly starting to roll out. Following the recent Steam Controller launch, Valve has now confirmed the price of the Steam Machine, its all-in-one console-like solution for PC gaming in the living room. There are currently four variants being presented, with only the storage and the included controller being the biggest differences. All of the Steam Machines have the same internals consisting of a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 CPU with six cores and 12 threads, an RDNA 3 28CU GPU, 16GB of DDR5 memory, and 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, all inside the familiar box Valve has been showing off for months now. The Steam Machine base model starts at $1,049. This has a 512GB NVMe SSD but does not come with a Steam Controller. Keep in mind that storage can be expanded with the microSD card slot too. Next, the $1,128 model has the exact same storage as the previous one but it does come with the new Steam Controller. If you need the Steam Machine to have more storage for games and apps than that, then the 2TB tiers are also available. The $1,349 Steam Machine has no controller once again, but it does ship with two extra faceplates (red fabric and solid walnut) to replace the standard black one. The final option costs $1,428, and it adds the controller back into the bundle. The Steam Machine ships with the Linux-based SteamOS. The box has a 1 Gigabit Ethernet port, DisplayPort 1.4, and HDMI 2.0, as well as one USB-C and four USB-A ports. Keep in mind that when purchasing standalone, the Steam Controller has a $100 price tag. With the above bundles, that drops to $80. It's a rather expensive machine for the internals it is touting, though the design and small form factor do help it somewhat. However, at the same time, the lack of upgradability hurts it. Valve says the ongoing parts shortages and massive price hikes for memory were the leading causes for this price. "The overall effect is that our original goal for the price of Steam Machine is no longer viable," added the company. "So the prices we're sharing today reflect the state of the world for manufacturing; or, more accurately, it reflects the price of the components as we've secured them over the past 6 months." Valve wants interested gamers to reserve it now to get the chance to pre-order a Steam Machine starting June 25, with shipping starting on June 29. Head here to sign up. The invites to buy it will be sent in a randomized order.

      What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, Natural gas plants use about 2,803 gallons of water per megawatt-hour produced, which is significantly less than coal-fired plants that use around 19,185 gallons per megawatt-hour. Overall, natural gas plants are more water-efficient, using 584% less water than traditional power plants on average. AI generated
