You're making a lot of assumptions about me matey.

It's more of an observation. A few months ago it was all Genocide Joe this, Genocide Joe that, Genocide Joe the other, and now that the war has resumed with the USA having released more powerful bombs that Joe was holding back it's somewhat surprising that there apparently hasn't been a peep from anyone. But as you say, if you are seeing it then maybe my feed is too well filtered.

I'm old enough to remember when that was the fancy new thing the kids were doing.

Most Americans either voted for the orange moron or didn't care enough to vote against him. And there was plenty of evidence about what he was going to do; there was his first term, and there were all his speeches about what he was going to do, and is now doing.

So there is no excuse. Most Americans approved this, either implicitly or explicitly, because they did not vote for the alternative. Honestly I'm surprised Harris couldn't win simply with the message "I'm not Trump."

I keep wondering why the "Genocide Joe" folk aren't now screeching about "Genocide Donald".

Actually I quite like it. You get daylight in the morning in winter, and longer evenings in the summer.

Without DST you have to choose between: in winter you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark, meaning you don't see any daylight apart from at weekends, which is especially depressing if you work in a place short on windows; OR you waste a bunch of daylight in the summer mornings and have shorter evenings when the weather is warmer and it's nicer to be outside.

I am a programmer. Not sure why this would be a problem. Just fix the computers to GMT+X and for the most part it won't matter. It's not as if I have to rewrite DST code every few months.

Any company that does that needs to be sent on a mandatory awareness training for failing an obvious fake phishing exercise. It's far too easy to whitelist that and send it to an "ignore" folder.

Wait till you see what "yank" means in vi and emacs.

Oh no! Anyway...

Quint, because some of the keys double up as joystick buttons.

It's a place where you can ask questions that need an answer along the lines of "all men are bastards and need to be kicked to the curb immediately, can't ever change, and no woman has ever done anything wrong".
