General / Open Discussion / Re: Stupid question about midnight

Kinda agree with this guy:
By most definitions, the date changes at midnight. That is, at the precise stroke of 12:00:00. That time, along with 12:00:00 noon, are technically neither AM or PM because AM and PM mean "ante-meridiem" and "post-meridiem", and noon and midnight are neither ante- nor post- meridiem. However, for convenience, most people lump the 12:00:00 time with its nearest neighbour, 12:00:01, which IS AM or PM.
Since the date changes at the stroke of midnight, there is always ambiguity about which date you refer to. Midnight on the 10th technically means at the start of the 10th, but when most people speak they mean it to be at the end of the 10th.
If I said "I'll meet you Friday at midnight" or "I'll meet you Friday night at midnight" you (and most people) would probably interpret both times as the midnight that follows Friday noon. However, there are cases where the first sentence really means "the midnight at the start of Friday".
Since the common usage conflicts with the technical definition, if you want to be totally clear, use other words or other times.
Friday night at midnight
probably will always be interpreted as "Midnight in the night which follows Friday evening".
Midnight tonight
This means (to me) the midnight following today.
11:59 PM Friday
12:01 AM Saturday
These are totally unambiguous.

Was thinking thur 11:59:59 rolls to 12:00:00 would officially be Friday and fri 11:59:59 rolls to 12:00:00 then it's sat. Was wondering if Friday night midnight is different than Friday midnight. LOL I'm talking myself in circles.

There is alot of different types of overspray. Depending on the grade of clay bar it will take most overspray off. I'm not sure which brand paint maco uses but there are some sealers, primers, or self etching primers that may not come off with a clay bar. Take it to any local reputable body shop in your area they should be able to determine what it is and how to take it off. I know I do it all the time for my customers.

Depending on what the overspray is , it might be real easy to get off. I know it's the point but if u need help just let me know. We'll figure out what overspray it is then help u out. I can tell u if it's primer u might be screwed. In some cases we have had it where buildings got painted and covered cars and insurance took care of it. Maybe call maco and tell them an insurance is involved now so they will contact u LOL

General / Open Discussion / Neighbor cutting all trees

I'm stuck laying on floor until my back gets better so I have nothing better to do but pregnant dog LOL why move to the estates buy a nice big piece of property with really old (thick) pine trees and oak trees and you cut everyone down!?!? Now I am far from a tree huger but I can't understand it. If the trees were next to house and they don't want them to fall on house I understand but 500' feet from nothing and cutting them down. And people pregnant dog about ATV's .... Just my 2 cents.

That area they were burglarizing has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country and we're focusing the attention only on two dumb piss ants?
I didnt randomly pick a story, this happened to me, they went into my house thats why I posted it. If your talking about the police my understanding is they catch them all the time but no one presses charges so they get away the next day.
