hey @carl669, why don’t you go fuck your-elves? just go ahead and point out the wrong-doings of the ding-dongs (or ho-ho’s?) and then we get the 12 minute and 33 sec. reprieve?
The next question is whether the next deal will come up when the time remaining would have made it come up were it to be working or come up when the broken one gets there.
please consult the meh.croni.com.in.iac thingy @carl669 to get to the bottom of this, and of course, just to up the count…
fuck, fuck, fuck off, fuck, fuck, fuck’n aye, fuck, fuck that shit, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck me, fuck, fuck, fuck this shit, fuck, fuck - are you stupid?, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck it all, and the other stuff i can’t repeat
@altoidbox Wow, so it’s actually showing something sort of correct (in it’s funny little programmy way) - that’s smart of you. And here I was doing all the math …
@stolicat I am a software engineer. So that may have helped with deducing the bug. I’m sure the seconds were invisibly counting down, so that my pretend 0 at the end really would have been the seconds 9 through 0.
This happened last Mehrathon, also on one of the Woot-offs. I think the problem was the software wasn’t capable of displaying anything more than 99 minutes, so it defaults into this funny mode if you enter a higher number. If I did the math right, it will be 2 hours (120 minutes) from when when it started, so 12 midnight here, 3 AM for the Easterners. I think.
I think last time they managed to fix it a some point.
@stolicat I did all kind of crazy math too. Turns out above 99:59 the seconds digit overflows to the right, @altoidbox nailed it above with shifting the colons right.
a broken one!
It’s a special, unique, algorithmic, supercalifragilistic, broken kind.
Came here to make sure it wasn’t just me. It counts down one second with each refresh for me.
@PurplePawprints mine will count down even without a refresh after about 5 secs
@chienfou @PurplePawprints 10 sec between display changes, but it skips ?9 through ?6.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Really now… don’t you mean
what the FUCK kind of clock…
@chienfou the wacky clock momentarily discombobulated me.
@carl669 that’s a lame fucking excuse!
@carl669 @chienfou I’ll take any excuse to fuck…
seems to drop 1s every 10s and then 5s every 50s. so based on that, the next item should be posted at 11:75.
@carl669 someone page the clockmehker
@carl669 seems mine is at 11:00 an still ticking.
@chienfou 11:120 actual time. not the time on the timer.
edit: yes, i changed 11:75 to 11:120 because i can’t math.

@Yoda_Daenerys
elves are busy. leave them alone.
The clock doesn’t work. It is very meh.
The next question is whether the next deal will come up when the time remaining would have made it come up were it to be working or come up when the broken one gets there.
@Kidsandliz in about two and a half hours by this meh klok

/youtube i can’t repeat
And the time tolling is 10:75
Just shift the colon right one digit and pretend there’s a zero at the end.
@altoidbox 10:75 is 107:50. i.e, 107 minutes, 50 seconds.
I’m glad there are people like you two in the world

@curtise Is that from Earth 2?
@cfg83 I think you might be lost.
@curtise Ha ha, situation normal.

@stolicat The clock has been broken for literally every Mehrathon. Fixing it would be undemehcratic at the point.

Somehow I’m certain that microsoft, the most meh of all, is responsible for this chronometric discombobulation.
@duodec Yeah but that is a bug from next year that they sent back in time.
https://mehstalker.com seems to think it’s a 2 hour sale
@lichme your stalkerbot is correct.
@lichme LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICH!!
@carl669 Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarl!
@lichme Why is the mehstalker clock about 40 seconds ahead of the meh clock? Which one is accurate?
We gotta know, 'cause the important items sell out in less time than that.
what is 10:60 in another languagea?
Do you ever get the feeling of Déjà vu?
@thismyusername - Only once.

There’s an update in the product thread.
@Thumperchick Thanks! No need to fret if there is now PLENTY of time on the clock.
no it isn’t
it’s back under 99 minutes. nite.
They could leave these up for a week. Still won’t sell out.
@mike808 i think that’s 93 hours, not minutes, butt i wouldn’t swear to it.
/image swear to it
/8ball swear to it
It is decidedly so

@therealjrn
Never. Of course.
You needed to ask? I thought you knew.
@f00l I’m just saying, pace yourself today. You don’t want to flame out before 10 AM.
@therealjrn
I think I flamed out before 10am on the day of my birth.
No doubt, my family would confirm this fact, with considerable enthusiasm and glee.
(PS I was born after 10am on that date.)
@f00l omg that little Hawking smile
its the calendar’s fault…
I thought this was a thread about what timepieces we all use in our homes
This is kind of old, but I’m linking it here because datetime math is hard.
