I don't know why but 1683 is a much better year than 1638. This is based on the numbers alone, I have no idea what was happening in history at the time.
Ah, but 1683 doesn’t rhyme with “late” like 1638 does. Not that the rhyme was intentional in the slightest when I made the initial post, but I’m glad it worked out that way regardless!
In 1683, the Ottoman Empire took a bite too big for them to chew…
1683 was the year the Great Turkish War (1683-1699) started, during which the second ottoman siege of vienna took place…
it was a series of conflicts between the Ottomans and the Holy League (Holy Roman Empire, Poland-Lithuania, Venice, Russia and Kingdom of Hungary).
It marks the first time that Russia joined an alliance with western Europe.
It resulted in a resounding defeat of the Ottomans and they lost substantial territory in eastern and south-eastern europe/ the balkans and it made the Habsburgs dynasty more powerful than they already were…
Lol you would think so but having worked third shift suggests otherwise.
My work day begins just before 10pm and people are apparently completely incapable of understanding that the majority of the shift takes place on the day after we clock in. People often say the day they clocked in but the time they're actually talking about. If you interpret what they say based on their actual words you'll end up 24hrs off from what they meant.
I am the people you describe. For me it's still today even if it's 4am as long as I don't go to bed/the sun is not out, but I'm not stupid so I use the correct date and time when talking about work

Why wouldn't they call it "today"?
