Because it's much simpler to just assume everyone eats lunch around Noon and there is daylight before and after lunch.

You prefer something, but if you cannot have it then at least having what you prefer is what you prefer to changing the clock. Got it!.

I guess a lot of folks here are severely impaired by this minor tweak.

I really don't care, but I love to see the passion and exhaustion on this topic. I do prefer the change. It normalizes daylight clock hours with how we operate. It's an annoyance once a year from standard to daylight (the 23 hour day). The other side is a little perk.

I laugh at the angst of all the people that seem to die unnecessarily twice a year because this happens. If you are at risk, for the love of God, don't fly horizontal patterns. The pain of going from PT to ET? Awful! Actually, no, it's not a big deal with some minor adjustments.

Let's just be permanent daylight saving (not "savings" you idiots). Fine. I'm in California. Let's just set the locale on our computers to US/Arizona because that's what we are half the time. What a fucking pointless thing to expend even minimal concern. I'm old enough where it really was an inconvenience because of computers across US circa 1990~2000. I haven't heard of a DST shift incident in a decade at least.

I'm not going to look up or anything. All from memory. In the very early 80s I rode a few friends' dirt bikes. I believe it's left foot half up neutral and full up 1st gear. Then down clicks 2-5 gears then up-up back sequential shifting. I did ride a Harley Sportster too late 80s and I think it was the same pattern.

As they say on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, is that your final answer? Because that's not how averages work unless it's a uniform bell curve. It's how the 50th percentile works. Averages are different. Stay thirsty my friend.

changes must be on top of a Git repo with commit before the potential carnage. I haven't let it muck with databases, but the same general rule would apply. There must be a clean understood line drawn that can be returned, a commit, a DB backup, an image. I am getting aggressive with AI, but the unpredictable always lurks.

This should not be a surprise.

I don't understand how it works. Is there no barrier to entry? If I were a semiserious music artist, I would still pay a few bucks for some discoverable exposure. Charge $99 for your first 100 tracks and $19/yr hosting. More tracks? Scale up the cost. I would think some vetting and light barriers would vet out at least a big chunk of that space filling music junk.

I also don't know anyone that uses Deezer. I've heard of it. Maybe popular in Europe?

How are the trustees betting someone else's money? They don't get compensation.

No they don't. You don't have to participate in a TDF. It's pretty rare for a plan to not offer at least a few low cost vanilla options like a S&P 500 index. Yes, some plans blend in higher cost funds with 12b-1 expenses to cover plan costs. I don't dig that but it's considered acceptable and plan costs have to paid somehow - employer pays the cost, the employee does through fees, or some funds "give back" some management fees.

I copy/pasted your comment into a few AI chats. GPT-5 thinks is mostly human. Haiku 3.5 thinks your response is blended AI because of some typos. Grok thinks it's AI all the way. Huzzah!

I had that hybrid setup on my PowerPC laptop where OS9 and OS X could run together. I still have the laptop and boot it up occasionally, but upgrades eventually removed the legacy OS. I wish I left it in that original state since it's just a toy museum piece now.

What does that even mean? What's a page of code? Are you printing it? I have no idea how many pages of code the software systems I've worked on are. We've talked about lines of code and number of files, symbols, functions. Pages? No.

I have ads turned off, but there it is. That motion at the top of the page in my peripheral vision is giving me PTSD while I scan posts and comments. I recently started getting spam from these guys at work too. Unsubscribed and filtered in case it's not honored.
