  But we don’t have a ‘Year 0’, it goes 1BCE to 1 CE.

  Lunations are only ~29.5 days long, between specific moon phases. They still count one year as 12 lunations, ~354 days. Right now is Rajab on the Islamic Calendar, but that’s still the month, not the moon. According to the Farmers Almanac, January is the Wolf Moon, taking from both Native American and European Colonial traditions.

  Yes, there are multiple counts. Rajab is the 7th month of the Islamic (Hijri) Calendar, AH 1447, while Tevet is the 4th month of the Hebrew Calendar, AM 5786.

  Hopefully this helps, and I understood you correctly. If not, Wikipedia has charts of the current date according to multiple calendars when looking at specific calendars, like the Islamic Calendar, or you can look more at Lunar Calendars, and the differences between Solar, Lunisolar, and Lunar Calendars.

  You seem to know this person’s activities, are they related to you, or someone you consider a friend? If so, maybe a more delicate approach would work better, but I don’t have advice for that. It seems to me this kind of person would laugh it off and continue, or get mad at you for calling them out and it would just become a wedge between you.

  If you don’t know this person, the old adage stands: don’t feed the trolls. If they’re breaking rules, report them. Block them, and maybe take a step back from that kind of social media, to reevaluate what you’re trying to get out of it. If you’re following this person around, just to be angry or judgemental, that isn’t healthy for you nor helpful to anyone. You’re just another viewer or comment to the algorithm.

  Lol, well one is between the kitchen appliances and the bakery, so it’s almost a platform 9 3/4 situation. You could easily assume it’s another aisle of drip coffee machines and cake pans. We have a whole aisle for tea and coffee, but the grinder you described wouldn’t be there.

  My grocery stores have them with the bulk coffee, nuts, and candy section. I think they have two spouts in case you want them whole or ground. Maybe you’re in the wrong aisle? They also grind fresh nut butter, so not just coffee, either.

  I’m a little surprised ~7-hours round trip is considered long distance.

  I’d agree “evil” might be hyperbolic, but it’s not like Legos are made out of bamboo or aluminum, either.
