Whachagonna do …
10with the extra hour, so cruelly ripped from it’s parental time continuum at the border of spring by a cruel governmental institution and now returned to us under the cloak of darkness in these perilous times?
- sleep
- vote
- get drunk and binge on Halloween candy
- at exactly 2 am, meticulously set all the clocks in your life back one hour
- ignore it because it’ll go away again in about 4 months
- have a Celtic ritual of witchcraft & fire

What really kills me is the car/truck clocks. In cars with services like On-Star, or just plain modern radios. Heck, there are self-setting clocks for sixteen bucks on Amazon; the chipset couldn’t be that expensive!
@heartny @PocketBrain my car (2013 Ford Cmax Hybrid) with the much hated MyFord Touch system…that spawned a class action suit, and ended up with ford dropping windows ce/mobile, and going with a blackberry based/designed System for Sync3…
it’s 2 buttons to sync the clock to the GPS signal.
(now i do have to push an additional button to add an hour during DST… so 3 whole buttons…)
@heartny @PocketBrain not only does my car have a windows ce based system with satellite, gps, and cellular connections so it could set the clock automatically, it has two constant irritants: 1) clock runs fast, about 30 minutes over a year’s time if I let it run wild, 2) when the year changes, the clock fails and it will be 12:00 on January 1, 2006 the first time I start my car in the new year.

@stolicat I should’ve bought extras of this one:
@narfcake your dashcam keeps time? Maybe that’s the difference between the ones sold here and the ones that don’t get remaindered.
@narfcake I got a couple of these …
@yeppers Yeah, I didn’t buy any of the ones here or from Woot. I’m still cheap, though, which mainly meant Amazon Warehouse.

A full hour of MarioParty 4 with my best friend.
Even without considering the awful joke on the front page right now regarding the Beastie Boys, the correct answer to a question starting this way is SABOTAGE!
Actually woke at 0106 today. Rolled over in bed and looked at the smartwatch and then realized I had no idea if the time had changed yet or not!

@chienfou OK. I’ll keep that one…
@chienfou Tsk tsk. Mixing red and white in the same wash – that cat needs a real lesson on how to do laundry.
