@tef 0-indexed months confuse me too.

@tef that’s the sort of standard of world quality I’ve come to expect lately

@tef or Canada, where they celebrate it "by observing the day near the dates of the international observance"

ie, "around then". Oct 12 in 2012, for example

@tef wouldn’t it be the 10th of whatever the 14th month is?

@tef OMG that is true!?%@#*argh*.
🤦‍♀️🤦🤦‍♂️

@tef @alicemcalicepants 🤓 for me it is 16 November (next week)

Because in 2018 scientists redefined the definition of kilogram, kelvin, mole, and ampere.

Since then, all SI Units have been based on fundamental constants of nature and not physical artefacts, i.e. (Le Grand K), which they were previously based on.

Derek Muller (veritasium) made a fascinating video about it

@tef @timrichards ha - I though you were joking

https://www.ansi.org/events/standards-events/world-standards-day

@tef so each would have been sending noncompliance notices those days too, I guess

@tef ... unless you are in the US, then it‘s in the next century, maybe.

@tef

Bwahahahaha (lol) 😂

@tef see also: metric system

@tef and this is beautiful

@tef As the ISO Standards, you are also not allowed to provide that information for free!

🤪

@tef Pretty sure America showed the world last week that it has no standards.

@tef If only the American celebration of "standards day" had been on November 5th.

@tef the wonderful thing about standards is that there’s so many of them

@tef missed opportunity. It should be October the 11th and November the 10th.
