So, Perseverance (the Mars rover) is landing soon, and the livestream starts on the 18th, 11:15 am PST. I'm hyped to watch it, but considering my time zone, I'll start at 3:15 am for me. Any tips to staying up ridiculously late?

supercoffee?

Prep yourself for it. Set an alarm for when you want to get up for it for a few days prior, and actually get up and out of bed for however long you expect to be up for watching it. I always wake up at 6.45 as that’s when I normally get up, even if I don’t intend to actually rise at that point.

If you intend to go to bed again afterward make sure you take into account however long you’ll be asleep for the second time round. An adult is meant to get ~8 hours night, so if you’re only going to get 2 or 3 hours after that, try to get at least 4 in before the event, otherwise just go to bed earlier and get your sleep in beforehand. Obviously if you intend to go to bed afterward, avoid stimulants.

How fast would you have to play 2 notes in succession on a single channel to get it to sound like a chord?

I know if you arpeggiate on a PC speaker (and most other chips of its era) tune, you'll end up with broken chords, but I'm wondering if there's a point where if you alternate between notes fast enough, you'll end up with honest-to-god chords on a single channel. There's Vicious SID 2 (CSDb), which seems to PWM the everloving fuck out of a pulse wave to end up with chords on 1 channel, but that's a different technique entirely.

Is there a term for per ten? Perdece?
= per 10
Percent = per 100
Permille = per 1000

I ask because it is common practice in China to display discounts in per tens rather than percents.

[Frumple]

... tenths? Definitely can't think of a per- one off the top of my head, though. It's not common usage anywhere I can recall being. A per ten would just be 10% or whatever. 20 or 30 percent off and whatnot.

[Vector]

Am/was a math teacher: can confirm that if we have that, it's not mainstream.

Not quite what you are asking but decimation has a nice ring to it.  (Literally decima is a tenth.)

Then we can talk double decimation, or triple decimation, etc.

We say percent and permille, with the basic cardinal forms of the numbers, rather than, say, *percentime. Therefore, I assert, perdix.
