We didn't give up. We found one and we stuck to it. I don't care about factoring, that's a minor cool hack.

The point is simple: Adding or removing dots from the face of a clock is a complete waste of (heh) time.

If you people really need to wank over a calender, pick one with jugs in it or get rid of timezones and daylight savings. That would be actually helpful.

Nobody was advocating for doing that. You started an argument about doing so, in reply to a post merely saying that it would be "as convenient" as the current system, and that decimal time failed because we already had a unified time system.

Nobody had even mentioned calendars until you showed up. "you people" = "ChoHag".
