This is a leap year and to borrow from Major Geeks:
Quote
Most of you know that a leap year is a year that has an extra day added to keep the Gregorian calendar, the most widely used civil calendar, a year synchronized with the astronomical year or seasonal year. The reason for this addition lies in the Earth's orbital period around the Sun, which takes approximately 365.25 days. The extra quarter of a day accumulates over four years to create a full day. To account for this discrepancy, an extra day is added to the calendar every four years as February 29th, making the leap year 366 days long instead of the usual 365. Without the leap year, the calendar would drift away from the astronomical seasons, causing significant mismatches over time
You may not know that adding a day every four years would overcorrect the discrepancy because the actual solar year is slightly less than 365.25 days – about 365.2425 days. To address this, the Gregorian calendar includes a more complex rule for leap years: a year is a leap year if divisible by 4, but years divisible by 100 are not leap years unless they are also divisible by 400. This adjustment keeps the calendar closely aligned with the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
So there is your nugget of leap-year knowledge that you can drop on people today.Source

My brother is being married next week in Hawaii. Part of me wishes the wedding were today, because it could be fun to see how leap year anniversaries play out.

MOLINETAZO: jumping the "molinete" (turnstile) to access railroad public transportation for free.
Apparently, a form to protest against the ticket increase by the current government. To be honest, I have always seen people skipping the turnstiles, even when it costed a pittance, and often there is the emergency door open, or just a open gateway to the train platform. It just a cultural thing: fuck if you can.
In Austria and Germany there is no barrier: you are assumed to have paid your ticket. They do check if you have (there are inspectors that come on the train/tram at once and the driver keeps the doors closed until they haven't finished inspecting all tickets). Fines are high, and public shame is enough to discourage from not paying. I don't think that either the shame or the fine argument would hold here, where stealing is as natural as breathing.

No deterrent. You can see it on the roads every 50 metres here. The middle aged are as bad as the young ones.

I was looking up a word to use in another thread, and I discovered a new term:
looner
A person who derives sexual pleasure from blowing, rubbing or popping balloons. // a person with a balloon fetish
And under balloon fetish:
QuoteA balloon fetish is a fetish that involves balloons.[1][2][3] A balloon fetishist is also referred to as a "looner".[4] Some balloon fetishists "revel in the popping of balloons and [others] may become anxious and tearful at the very thought of popping balloons".[5] Others enjoy blowing up balloons or deflating them.[6]

Indeed. Took me years to find out what a dildo was used for after hearing my older work mates talking about them.
