@Caprarius @mikaeleiman @EUCommission beg your pardon, Y-M-D is the least horrible :D

Today is European 112 Day 🇪🇺
📞 112 is the EU’s single emergency number.
It connects you to ambulance, fire brigade or police. It’s free of charge across Europe and offers language support in many countries.
A life-saving number everyone should know.
112 also works in the UK even after the stupidity of Brexit 🙂
Emergency numbers in the UK:

In the Netherlands there was a campaign with the slogan:
Eén, één, twee, daar red je levens mee.
Nice rhyme! 🎶

YYYY-MM-DD: good for machines (and people working with them)
DD-MM-YYYY: good for people (easier for conversations and casual use)
MM-DD-YYYY: seek help…(Jk, of course 😆)

@EUCommission We take it for granted, but, Oh, boy! should we be thankful this service exists… Huge thank you to operators working these lines. 🤗

@dmian @Caprarius @mikaeleiman @EUCommission DD-MM-YYYY is just as wrong as saying it's now 2 minutes and 12 o'clock, or that someone is 81 centimetres and 1 meter tall :D
It's not easier, it's just something you're used to.
(Also, YYYY-MM-DD is perfectly fine for people in Japan, Korea, China and Hungary)

@EUCommission should be November 2nd, though..?
@mikaeleiman @EUCommission
Nope. Day, month, year is logical. -

@EUCommission you hear all the time "the EU cost us soooo much, what does the EU do for us?"
People are so ignorant, cause they don't remember, how it was once. I am out of a generation that had the experience!
One phone number for emergency calls, you can visit a doctor in another EU country with your insurance card, no passport needed into EU, no problem with your EU driver license, you pay the same price in a foreign EU mobile phone net, like at home etc.
Just more of EU standardization! 👍

@EUCommission wish it would work everywhere. Here in Portugal, they hang up on you 50% of the time
@haaflife @EUCommission Are yours subcontracted to private operators that exploit their employees too? Might be worth looking into who runs it, because in Andalucia and Valencia that's exactly what "happens".
Just in case some EUropeans think the EU somehow *operates* 112. It does not.

@EUCommission This is also part of the GSM (mobile) standard so if you dial 112 anywhere in the world on your mobile it will connect you to the nearest emergency line. A signal from any network is required so not to worry if your reception is not great.

@EUCommission surprisingly this also works in the UK?

@kDelta @dmian @Caprarius @mikaeleiman @EUCommission Ah yes, the logical pyramid.

@EUCommission You can also use that number in the UK, but many Brits don't know that.

@EUCommission @fishidwardrobe I was very surprised when I tried to dial the non-emergency police number but dialled 112 instead of 101, immediately hung up and dialled 101, then got a callback from the 999 operator to find out why I hung up

@jackeric @EUCommission that's kind of good to know they do that, i think?

@phl @dmian @Caprarius @mikaeleiman @EUCommission It was more the date I expected you to question me on, the International Fixed Calendar was a far better calendar system with 13 months 🤣 I have the complication on my watch face 🤭 https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/international-fixed-calendar/id1107327564

A gennaio, robusta creazione di occupazione negli Stati Uniti: 130k posti contro 68k attesi. Ma la revisione dei dati del 2025 è impressionante: creati solo 181k posti anziché i 584k inizialmente stimati, la crescita più debole in un periodo non recessivo. Peccato non aver più da licenziare nessuno al BLS (che resta acefalo)
