Please wait...
And i see we re back up and running. yay. 2 points for our host.
( i assume the earlier this morning messages 'too many connections' was typical us being DoSed to death? )
You know what ... I would prefer the fireworks of Diwali far more than the douchebaggery of the pagan holiday masquerading as "Christmas". Fuck you Santa.

Yes, but it's a problem I had previously solved but has come back due to some changes I made in how Citadel is deployed. I'll spare the Lobby the tech discussion and take it to the text client room.
i want neither at 11pm.... or anything else. I respect my neighbors and wont be blowing things up, or screaming and yelling, or using power tools out back at 11 pm, unless we are in a state of emergency or something. I wont even run my generator at night if we have no power. Its what the batteries are for.
But do keep in mind, it was not the pagans idea to give up Saturnalia, it was usurped over time by the Christians. A rather common tactic in the 'olden days' to steer people in their direction. ( but a topic for another room )

You wished everyone a Merry Christmas last year. Are you losing it?

I like Jesus Christmas. I hate Santa Christmas. That's been my policy for a long time.

It's time.
It's always time somewhere.
"Yay DST! i get an hour back"
1 - no, you don't. nothing was taken in the first place. idiot.
2 - you clearly don't have pets.
3 - the entire concept is stupid. Perhaps 150 years ago you might be able to make a poor argument for it, but not today, its ludicrous.
Except at the event horizon of a black hole.
( ok ok i know that isn't actually true, it only appears to stop to outside observers, but many think it really does stop and not just slow way way down. so its a good story )

It would confuse the serfs too much. "why is it dark at this time of day im skerreed!"
But kidding aside i do see a purpose for timezone as it would interfere with normal biological processes. ( and yes, i know people in some parts endure 6 months of dark. But i hear it screws with you ) . Now, are they over used? Perhaps.
I'd love to abandon DST, but why stop there? Abandon time zones too, and put the whole world on UTC.
I guess the stranded astronauts are home now. They were of course sent to hospital to be checked out after being up there 2/3 of a year. And of course media "oh no, mysterious hospital bla bla they wont divulge details bla bla"
Be nice if the media would return to REPORTING. not commentary/etc. Or at the least clearly state its commentary, speculation, spin, whatever, like they did in the old days and not pretend its actual news. Really sick of it ( and no, i dont read news often unless its tech related, but i do scan headlines for stuff like this every so often so i can at least keep up to date on things like this, local issues, world war, etc. don't want to be totally in the dark. Normally just enough headline that i can filter out the garbage and know what actually took place )
Lol. So i ordered something online couple of days ago. ( from a place i have before ). Got an email today "your order bla bla was shipped out on 11/12.
Um. that is tomorrow.
And now, a 5 day weekend. Too bad 3 of those days are due to a family funeral.
Fri Nov 08 2024 15:13:15 UTC from Nurb432yay 3 day weekend.
Costco ordered to recall nearly 80k pounds of butter. Why you might ask? Because the label didn't say 'contains milk' . wtf its butter of course its got milk. and the excuse "well, milk is a severe allergen"
Are we seeing the start of an attack on dairy cows?
Cemetery was sort of off the beaten path, used to be an old Quaker town.
its slowly being encroached by sprawl ( dont worry, no rant this time ). I came back home thru the back roads, partially due to wanting to avoid traffic and partially so i could see some trees and farms. Couple of small towns i had forgot, still are there... still like they used to be, mostly 'white trash country'.
While id not be fond of the shape some of them live, id still be much happier out there with them, than in this freaking development. (ok, slight rant.... :)
In 20 years they will have been paved over too.

That is not an attack on dairy cows. That is an exercise in stupidity. Westerns ought to be used to it by now.
Attack on cows has been going on for far longer. In Dennmark they have a 100 bucks tax per cow and in New Zealand they are pressing to campaign against cows.
