#clock change

PSA .ᐟ.ᐟ

Alright, listen up—time’s changing tomorrow for everyone in the U.S. and a few other spots that still do this daylight savings mess. So if you’re somewhere that observes it, clocks go back one hour tonight. That means you get an extra hour of sleep… or an extra hour to stay up doing whatever it is that you do at an ungodly hour—I’m not judging.

Here’s who’s got it:

➜ United States (most states)

➜ Canada (most provinces)

➜ parts of Mexico

➜ parts of Brazil

➜ Chile

➜ New Zealand

➜ Most of Europe already changed last week — you’re ahead of us, don’t panic.

If you’re not sure, just check your phone—it usually updates on its own. But if you’re old-school with a wall clock or somethin’ like myself, you might wanna turn that back before bed.

Don’t show up an hour early anywhere tomorrow, alright? Be safe, get some rest, and take that extra hour—you’ve earned it.

It is time for the guard that always lies and the guard that always tells the truth (my oven clock and my car clock) to switch roles for another six months

thank you for that daylight savings time post i genuinely thought id overslept by two hours (only slept in one hour, stay winning)

You're so welcome, my entire DND group were almost caught out by it, too.

The radical DST idea that we are almost but not quite ready for is to smear it 1 minute a day across two months.

Networked clocks would be fine, but there are still a few too many non-networked clocks.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday ...

So ... the discussion goes on ... should we, or should we not, stop changing the clocks twice a year?

I sigh each time the topic comes up. It's never ending. I'm surprised they don't actually agree to keep putting the clocks back again and again and again, just so they can have even longer to continue to discuss 'aye' or 'nay.'

The people say yes ... the politicians prevaricate.

The hoomans are the only ones that treat time as though control can be had over it. I sometimes amuse myself with how the world would look if our clock changes had Sci fi consequences. Leaves going in and out of bud ... flowers doing the same ... birds going backwards, putting their worms back into the ground before yanking them out again ... rain returning to clouds etc etc etc.

My one and only marble boggles at the idea ... but at least such things can't happen ... can they? ;-) ...

—

The Most Noble Order of the Garter is an order of chivalry founded by Edward III of England in 1348.

It is the most senior order of knighthood in the British honours system. The only decorations which outrank it in precedence are the Victoria Cross and the George Cross.

The Order of the Garter is dedicated to the image and arms of Saint George, England's patron saint.
