Spring forward, my ass.
Seems I was doing the same thing last year, howling about the pending time change.
Like clockwork, here we are.
Remember! Those of us who are going to suffer/thrive on Daylight Savings Time, set your clock forward.
Enjoy your (slightly diminished) evening.
This evening is the best day to get drunk, because tomorrow is fucked anyways.
Cheers!
Drinking is a form of time travel so I like the way you are thinking!
That’s true… Complete with headaches.
I too am drinking tonight!
I think I say this every time clocks change, but we should just keep moving clocks back an hour every six months so we can get an extra hour of sleep. Then every 12 years add a day back to the calendar to catch up. Never mind if that means that clocks and the sun will get completely unsynced, for an extra hour of sleep it will be worth it.
Or, we should go back to the days before railroads when every city and town set their own standard time. Now that so many people have smart phones, we can just let apps change the time whenever people cross a boundary. Let chaos reign.
Yikes. I’d rather we stick to standard time zones.
The story I remember (it could be apocryphal) is that the railroads used their political muscle in the 19th century to force standard time zones in the US because they found it too hard to deal with all of the local variations. But we don’t need to be beholden to the railroad barons! Down with E.H. Harriman! Down with Leland Stanford! Down with John Work Garrett!
I am mildly resentful of this spring forward nonsense. Tomorrow I get to nip about the house looking for older electronics which do not automatically reset. And my watch is a good old Timex analog, so that too will need updated.
I think I once had a windup watch, but I can’t say I miss it for reasons like this.
I just heard this Normal Gossip podcast about a funny story about a pocket watch. It’s worth a listen if you have an hour to spare.

its like….2 weeks from now i have to change my clocks?
would it kill you lot to have the same time as us?
i mean…if we cant get rid of the whole thing….can we at least agree on when it happens?
Next you’ll be telling us to wear wooden shoes and paint exquisite, delicately lit oil paintings of interior scenes like Vermeer. Not to mention the working infrastructure. I think not! I think not, good sir!
oh man….you really should try the clogs at some point
wood has no right being so comfy
hey…..anyone want a movie rec for something im like 30 minutes into?
premium rush
asides from giving cyclists even more of a bad rep…
i cannot tell where this is going
good fun
I will check it out. But damn if it isn’t one of those things where you search “premium rush streaming” and spend 15 minutes scratching your head whether there’s a legal way to watch it.
oh…. on netflix….i should have said
Sure, but Netflix NE and Netflix US are about as compatible as 9th Century Korean weights and measurements as 14th Century Aztec weights and measurements.
You might see it as part of your monthly subscription, but we might have to pay $15,000 to watch it. Or maybe we get it for free if we buy a used iPhone8. Who knows? We sure won’t, unless we spend an hour reading the fine print.
i mean..i did my part telling you where to find it
if netflix on your end doesnt provide…take it up with them
I would, but they’re probably all freaking out about losing their life savings in the Silicon Valley Bank.
i’d feel bad…..but i am working class
fuck em
