WTF-Beta

On a related note, clocks "fall back" an hour on November 1.

How do we feel about that?

I've said before - I liked that the time didn't change in AZ and HI much better.

I didn't realize this until I just now read it on Google AI but apparently "fall back" means "fall back to Standard Time".

That seems strange to me. The standard actually changes. I'm guessing Standard Time came first.

Of the times changes, this one is by far my favorite.

Wait why are they calling the other Mountain Standard Time (MST)?

So MST and ST are the same thing?

I wish they'd do away with time changes.

Highly recommend.

Off topic but this is an interesting video with a history of "England" and why English pronunciation and spelling are difficult.

Or did He?

The media gaslighted by the right? No!

I can't believe it.

I have an appt on Month X at Time Y.

Take it or leave it.

Oh, I'm just being obnoxious. Forgive me.

They say you don't talk about politics and religion in polite company.

Really?

Lol.

Edited to add: the Congregationalists had an intensive and rigorous education program and the same thing in the US.

Interesting fact also- the Puritans of Mayflower fame were Congregationists.

Their official education department (for lack of a better word) set the template for New College, the Sarasota philanthropists didn't know how to create a college.

Hawaii was a colonialist project and Congregationalists played their part.

I guess my feelings about them are mixed, but I've been so deeply immersed in their environment, I can't separate who I was before I was 21 and a transfer student at New College and my life after that happened.

I'm sure that's good for me because if I didn't have this experience, I might process language and communicate God knows how.

My father was a tradesman from a middle class family. Of course he was working class by nature. My mother's family were middle class. He married up as they say.

I couldn't make any sense of it but when I transfered to Sarasota everything clicked.

I can speak three different kinds of English but only one seems natural to me.

Congregationalist missionaries. Yes.

@Mik said:

Well I knew what it meant, if not how to spell it.

You did good spelling it phonetically.

I don't speak Hawaiian but I can tell you Hawaiian words are difficullt to say let alone spell.

It's the vowels.

The rule for Hawaiian words is every vowel is pronounced and there are no exceptions.

It's often difficult for an English speaker to pronounce Hawaiian words because every vowel has to be spoken and there are a lot of them.

This doesn't come naturally to us because English has an almost endless number of rules about how to say and spell words due to it being derived from an almost endless number of sources.

He seems to have transcended his former self.

Horder

One more lawsuit and I'll be done. I hope.

If the judge asks you if you've taken any medications just say no.

I get the "you might be impaired" part.

But 200 million+ people take Dr. prescribed medications.

FFS.

I just made 3 boiled eggs by following Google AI to the letter.

Yeah.

@shirokuro Something tells me a a charcuterie board isn't in my future. I do have a bamboo cutting board with grooves running the perimeter of one side. I could use that and put a variety of food items on it. Lol.

I'm so lacking in food shopping and cooking ability.

I'm getting better but will never be good at it

Actually I remmber these from all the times professors hosted groups of us in their homes as they did on many occasions.

It started with a coup in 2014?

I didn't know that./ s
