i hate when people use vague blocks of time to refer to something that we know with 100% certainty.

"YOU WILL NOT BE AWAKE SOMEWHERE WITH THE PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY 12 HOURS FROM NOW, DO NOT MISS YOUR CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING TODAY"

are we talking like, once every decade, once every two decades, once a century? I gotta have a reference frame here.
