timekeeping
Haven't run the vids yet, but just wanted to snark that the first one, you say, was recorded July 28, 2018…? With a time machine. Good trick. :D
Good morning.
(To the tune of Chicago ♬ "Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?")
It's 2am Ace of Spades time.
It's 1am on the computer.
But really, here, it's just Midnight. So says the clock on the mantle which doesn't know from Savings Time.
I don't rely on time. Time is what man made for our convenience, and in reality, it does not exist.

People talk like Feb 29 is some kind of extra time.
It's a day.
And I'm not ready for it yet!
EST, or EDT? Let's see, if it's 2pm EST, and I'm in CDT, but my house clock is on CST which is tantamount to MDT, then um.. um.. I don't know when to get scared!
last thread said: "...cyber attack dubbed Message to America against a number of targets 2 p.m. EST today...."
Y'know what? We never set the clocks forward this Spring.
Vic: "Today is Tuesday, December 02, 2014."
Either Vic has taken up residence in the past or my cell is from the future. If we can't trust Vic on the date...
Morning, Glories. Slept late on a cold morning. Still waking up.
Vic really got me there right at the start, with, "Today is Monday, December 01, 2014...."
Fall Back is worse than Spring Forward.
Matt Yglesias Voxplains: Hey Let's Get Rid of Time Zones
D@M!TT!! I've been campaigning for years, in my most stylish tinfoil top-hat for that very thing.
'Twas technology insisted upon Daylight Savings and Time Zones. Whale oil and train schedules.

Yes. I was talking about y'all.
There's still time to be rehabilitated.
That won't even work in the Fourth Reich because they do the date all ass backwards.

Does the shortest day coincide with the earliest sunset?

"On this day in 1883 Standard Time was put into use in the United States."
Repeal Standard Time!
Return to Natural time!
So, yesterday, Mrs came home in the afternoon to discover the electricity had evidently been off for a while.
She reset the clocks... except the coffeemaker.
If a digital clock loses power, when it comes back on it flashes 12:00. So it's still right twice a day.

Speaking of Pon Raul, ssssorry about prev styleguide faux pas. What's the right term again?
And you know the thing about stopped clocks?
Also recycled thought from last night:
What old dog said - train schedules. IIRC
And DST was instituted to save on whale oil.

Always funny to me when alleged or self-described Constitutional conservatives don't see the fingers of unConstitutional governance for what they are.

Time shifts and gravity fluctuations always make me feel a tad seasick.
