  • Oh that's an even worse time zone to use.

    Any time zone that touches the Pacific ocean is rubbish for reference.

    I once read that Schroedinger once commented that he wish he'd never brought up that "damn cat."

    I like the video, and putting in my subscription to them...they do nice job of explaining, I thought.

  • I don't care either way...as long as we stop messing with that spring forward/fal-backward stuff.  It's seriously annoying!

    My time shows my time zone on AM. Perhaps you should update you profile?

  • We could use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or something else all us geeks and nerds can relate.
