You're so wound up about making your point and defending your point of view that you're not actually comprehending my comments. It's your map in the sense that you are presenting it to us, who authored it isn't really relevant to this discussion.

Just pointing out the ridiculousness of getting petty and insulting about the way other people define time scales because you don't agree. There is no objective truth here, just subjective opinions. ALL of those opinions and methods have flaws, especially your beloved "everyone should just use UTC". There is no such thing as "correct" here, so putting that word in your map's title and using "right" and "wrong" in this discussion is just naive.
We spend most of our year in daylight savings time. Standard time is the pretendy-magic-time.
This map really brings home how awful this projection is for this map's purpose and how awful most projections really are near the poles. Greenland isn't that big. I know this map is Plate Carree, not Mercator, but the size issue of an equirectangular projection is really similar when comparing longitude and size for the entire globe from pole to equator. 15 degrees of longitude for a timezone stops making sense that close to the poles. Greenland would mostly fit in the central time zone of the United States for example. Given its sparse population, dividing it up into 3 timezones seems unnecessary.
The Samsung gear watches all support Spotify offline playback. All the wearOS watches support as much local media playback as the hardware allows (I think), but managing that local library is pretty tedious and awful. Especially if like me you either listen through streaming services or streaming from a library of FLAC media on a NAS at home. With the Spotify app on my watch, I just select a playlist to be downloaded while I'm connected to WiFi and that's it. It is not flawless though, sometimes the Spotify database or authentication gets fouled up and you're unable to fix it until you return to WiFi. But I haven't had many issues with it since Samsung switched away from their own bespoke watch OS to wearOS.
It holds up better that his first Deadpool appearance.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that IF Ryan Reynolds were to reprise the Green Lantern role, it would probably be way too close to being a noble Deadpool variant in green. That said, (hot take / spit-balling and probably dumb idea incoming) maybe what both comic universes need at this point to spice things up is more crossover events that aren't just jokes. What if one of the Deadpools actually got a lantern ring somehow?
For running, I got a smartwatch that can store some music locally, so I don't need to be connected to listen. Still not perfect, kind of a hassle to use, and doesn't always work perfectly. Almost miss those tiny iPod nanos. I feel like portable dedicated music players have gone backwards in features and usability with the rise in popularity of perpetually connected Internet devices and streaming services.
Strawman arguments aside, it seems you've already forgotten how this comment chain started. Just let it go.
This is a map enthusiast community, not a lying with statistics and graphic design community.
Postcard aesthetic isn't good enough?
It says "not to scale", which in the world of mapping means very specifically that the scale is inconsistent. An exaggerated vertical scale would not include the disclaimer for "not to scale" and is very common, as I already said. It's common for maps showing vertical reliefs like profiles or cross sections to have a horizontal scale of something like 1:20 while the vertical dimension has a scale of 1:5 or 1:10, which would still be considered "to scale". If you still can't fit everything on a single sheet, you can add a break line or a jog to indicate a discontinuity, but the map would still be "to scale". This map is "not to scale" because it says so, so the only real information we should be able to glean from it are the connections between things; size, angles, and lengths as are meaningless because that's what "not to scale" is specifically warning us about.
Bro, if you didn't want people to respond with genuine takes on what you post and if you're going to be so defensive, why are you even here?
Also, I'm not defending anything. DST should be the standard time because we spend most of the year in it anyway. But that's just my own opinion, which I feel no need to defend to you or anyone else.
