#Q #QAnon QCumbers Q-Tip "The Storm” "Any Day Now

[noblepa]

I seem to remember that the calendar jumped 13 days when most European countries switched to the Gregorian calendar in the 18th century. Now, almost three centuries on, the Gregorian and Julian calendars would be even more out of sync, wouldn't they? In three centuries, there would have been about 75 leap days, so, wouldn't the calendars be 88 days out of sync?

If my calculations are correct, that makes tomorrow the Fourth of July!

Don't forget that 2000 was not a leap year.

I think we would have drifted by 2 days, not 75.

I may be wrong. This can be a confusing discussion.

But, since the Gregorian calendar includes leap years, but the Julian calendar does not, every four years, the two calendars become one more day out of sync. So, in most centuries, there are 24 leap days, meaning that, every 100 years, the discrepancy will increase by 24 days. Every fourth century, there are 25 leap days.

So, to my way of thinking, in 300+ years, the calendars would drift about 75 days.

[Suranis]

No. Here is how it works according to professor Wikipedia

The Julian calendar, proposed by Julius Caesar in AUC 708 (46 BC), was a reform of the Roman calendar.[1] It took effect on 1 January AUC 709 (45 BC), by edict. It was designed with the aid of Greek mathematicians and astronomers such as Sosigenes of Alexandria.

The calendar became the predominant calendar in the Roman Empire and subsequently most of the Western world for more than 1,600 years until 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII promulgated a minor modification to reduce the average length of the year from 365.25 days to 365.2425 days and thus corrected the Julian calendar's drift against the solar year. Worldwide adoption of this revised calendar, which became known as the Gregorian calendar, took place over the subsequent centuries, first in Catholic countries and subsequently in Protestant countries of the Western Christian world.

The Julian calendar is still used in parts of the Eastern Orthodox Church and in parts of Oriental Orthodoxy as well as by the Berbers.[2]

The Julian calendar has two types of years: a normal year of 365 days and a leap year of 366 days. They follow a simple cycle of three normal years and one leap year, giving an average year that is 365.25 days long. That is more than the actual solar year value of 365.24219 days (the current value, which varies) which means the Julian calendar gains a day every 128 years. For any given event during the years from 1901 to 2099 inclusive, its date according to the Julian calendar is 13 days behind its corresponding Gregorian date.

Does anyone remember the explanation, such as it is, for the belief that the Kennedys are in control of TFG's return? I was asked why these people think RCs and Democrats like the Kennedys would become the deus ex machina of returning TFG as president.

[northland10]

No explanation is needed. Trust the plan.

Don't forget that 2000 was not a leap year.

Actually, 2000 was a leap year.

Any year that is exactly divisible by 4 is a leap year . . .

Except if it is exactly divisible by 100 . . .

Except if it is exactly divisible by 400.

So, the year 1900 was NOT a leap year, since it is divisible by 100.

But 2000 WAS a leap year, since it is divisible by 400.

Mea Culpa.

I do know the correct answer and I said it exactly backwards. I once had a back and forth with SAP over exactly this and made them fix a bug in their leap year calculation.

1800, 1900 : not leap years
2000 : leap year
2100 : not leap year

Thank you for correcting me. I plead old age confuzzlement.

Basically the Baby Boomers romantisised JFK, so any suggestion that JFK was part of "the Cabal" had to be chopped right out of you wanted the thing to spread at all. The Boomers would have rejected any suggestion of Evil JFK out of hand.

So JFK was killed because he wasn't part of the Vampire pedos, and by extension any member of his family that died in mysterious circumstances. JFK Jr was young enough to still be viable now, so it was a simple leap of logic to put him into the shadow government fighting the other shadow government.

Yes, there are clearly issues with my "equal time" proposal for half Julian and half Gregorian dates each year. N10 has pointed out some issues, but those can be easily fixed (for some value of "fixed" and an equally implausible value of "easily" ).

Another obvious problem created by the sudden switch will be the duplication of dates at one transition and some might resent the Los of some dates at the other transition. Those kids born a few years earlier with birthdays in the Zone Of Lost Dates will object that their toyboxes are never replenished.

So here's a fully equitable solution that avoids this, is simple to understand, trivial to implement, and also respects the sensitivities of religious folk such as N10. You're welcome.

For convenience we have each year designated as either Gregorian or Jukian. Let's make even numbered years Julian, odd numbered Gregorian. At the end of each Gregorian year, from December 19th through 31st, all clocks are slowed to half speed, so days feel twice as long. At the end of each Julian year, during those same days the speed of clocks is doubled during this Calendar Realignment Asynchrony Period, or CRAP. So we get all dates, all times, and equal inconvenience to everybody when averaged out over each two year cycle.

Let's consider N10's situation. No double Lent, no missing Easter, no problems there. Again, you're welcome. What about Christmas? Let's imagine N10 singing at Midnight Mass on 24th. Good news! – because the 24th is in the middle of the CRAP, Midnight Mass now occurs during daylight!! Isn't that convenient? Less good: he will need to play with his organ four times as much in Gregorian years as in Julian years in a one hour service.

Of course the sudden change in day length might be upsetting so some might suggest that clocks could be slowed or speeded incrementally each day. But, hey, that would be crazy talk!

Or we could all move to the Jewish calendar.

Noblepa is correct in all particulars. Thank you for your excellent explanation.

My brainbone dissolved reading Sam With All The Laigs.

[jemcanada2]

No no no, Jem my dear, you obviously aren’t up to date on your Qnowledge.

You stop aging when you die. JFK’ll still be 46. Also, too, also trump is secretly a Kennedy. Yeah, for shure. It was during that Halloween bacchanal Truman Capote threw when he was in NYC doing research for Breakfast at Tiffany’s and he invited all those mobsters and the trumps.

Everyone was in costume. MaryAnne dressed like a queen and wore an elaborate mask; Ted Kennedy wore the same costume as Fred. Well, you can just imagine the scene in the coat room, can’t you? Horny hands meet the thrill of anonymity in a crowded room et voilá - an OSG was born.

She never told anyone, except Q.

Silly me!

I can't decide if I need more coffee or champagne to understand the Sam Calendar or 520's birth of OSG tale.

[roadscholar]

Seriously. Today already seems longer.

[Sam the Centipede]

I can't decide if I need more coffee or champagne to understand the Sam Calendar or 520's birth of OSG tale.

Now that's an easy decision: champagne until either (a) it runs out, or (b) you discover it's you who must pay for it. Then regret. Then coffee.

When JFK Jr. died, Hillary Clinton was running for Senator in New York. There were RWNJ theories at the time that Hillary had JFK Jr. killed because he was about to challenge her for the Senate nomination.

WaPo has an article up about yesterday's (ahem) spectacle involving the ghost of JFK jr. Yes, we all had a good laugh over it, but experts are concerned these people are dangerous.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2 ... ce=twitter

Why hundreds of QAnon supporters showed up in Dallas, expecting JFK Jr.’s return

...
The spectacle captivated people, some amused at the ridiculousness of the far-fetched theory that Kennedy faked his death. But the size of Tuesday’s gathering was concerning for Jared Holt, a resident fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab who researches domestic extremism. The claim about Kennedy Jr. is considered fringe even for supporters of QAnon, a collective of baseless conspiracy theories revolving around an idea that Trump is battling a Satan-worshiping cabal that traffics children for sex. The sprawling set of false claims that have coalesced into an extremist ideology has radicalized its followers and incited violence and criminal acts. The FBI has designated it a domestic terrorism threat.
...
Yet the devotion of the QAnon followers, some showing up the night prior at the AT&T Discovery Plaza, has dangerous implications, Holt said. QAnon followers, along with extremist group members and white supremacists, participated in the failed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, coordinating the deadly event via the movement’s online message boards.

“For people to be in the state of mind where they are utterly and hopelessly detached from reality opens up very dangerous possibilities for what that individual may do going forward,” Holt said.
...
Uscinski reviewed polling and found QAnon support is founded in anti-social personality traits and behaviors, like narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy.

Sam Many thanks.

I got lost in places but it may have been from a lack of drink (coffee or bourbon, not sure which).

One alternative to all the calendars is to use the COVID lockdown calendar. Its primary usefulness was to those who like betting pools, especially those pools which involved picking which day of the week it actually was.

Hmmmm, that still doesn't explain why the Kennedys would be welcoming TFG's return, but since it's all craziness anyway, I guess it makes sense to the crazies.

At the U.S. Embassy where I was serving for most of COVID, the Ambassador and Deputy Chief of Mission heard me refer to "the eleventeenth Blursday of Covember" while I was helping set up for a conference, and decided that while they would never use such terminology publicly, it certainly captured the essence of it all. I wish I had recorded the Ambassador saying it privately just the once. He said it with such an amused lilt I'd have made it my 'text message received' audio clip.

I'm stealing that! It's perfect!

I'm constantly confused about what day it is. Been working from home since late March 2020. I have an important meeting on Friday, but what the hell is a Friday? I checked what day today was 3!!! times! And tomorrow (whatever that day is) I will again make sure I'm not missing the big day that is apparently called "Friday."

I thought this was about JFK Jr. being resurrected, not JFK.

[roadscholar]

Oh, him too. Some of the texts had JFK Sr. returning just long enough to endorse Trump being reinstated. Or something.
