I had several encounters with the same person in unrelated events, over the course of 10 years:

During my traning and education (apprenticeship) there was a dude. He was in the same group/ class, but we had nothing to do with each other, beyond knowing each others name. After my apprenticeship finished I never saw or heard from him or anyone else, since I had begun working.

After a couple of years I had to serve mandatory military service. At that time every male aged 18 or above had to go to either of the military branches (I went to the equivalent of Navy) for a couple of months. That dude from my apprenticeship was not only in the same company, but he was put into the room/parlor next to the one where I was put in.

After military service I was searching for a job and I found one. Guess who I had to work with: that dude from military service!

Some years later I was riding the train. When I got in, I saw that same dude again! We chatted for a brief time, after that he left the train.

Somehow I doubt that this will be the last time we met. It feels like the simulation got lazy and sent always the same guy!

Tthis setting is not intended to apply to websites. With this setting you can change whether the date is shown as absolute (dd.mm.yyyy) oder relative (today, yesterday,…) for your own files on your computer.

The option is called “relative date” (as opposed to absolute date). On macos you can switch it off:

• open Finder, go to list view
• select very first item in hierarchy
• click on the little triangle next to the (folder-)icon to expand but press the option key wihle doing so
• hit “cmd” + “J” - a settings panel will open
• there is a tick box that says “relative date” that needs to be disabled (unticked)
• if you want to apply this settings as the new default setting for all finder windows, press the “apply as standard”-button at the bottom. All dates will show now the actual date instead of “today”, “yesterday” and such.
