No bunker is complete without an N64 and MarioKart.

Also, they do respond to outside stimuli, otherwise they’d be completely inert.

Do they actually respond? Or is it the external stimuli responding to them?

I would pose that same question to you. Why do you feel it is important for the sun to come up at 3:30 in the morning? Why would you impose that absurdity on anyone?

My pajamas:

Over here (NL) our default timezone is already one hour too early,

Then you have a completely different, localized problem, and you should fix that locally. The solution you are advocating is completely unsuitable outside of that localized area. You should change your time zone, so you don’t have this problem.

The sun moves through the sky at 15 degrees per hour. An ideal timezone is one hour, or 15-degrees wide. Solar noon is at 12:00pm (Winter Time) in the middle of that timezone. At the eastern end, solar noon occurs at 11:30AM, and at the west end, 12:30. If the longest day of summer is 16 hours of daylight, the western end of this timezone experiences sunrise at 4:30AM. But, the center of the timezone experiences sunrise at 4AM, and the eastern end of that same, idealized timezone experiences sunrise is an hour earlier: 3:30AM.

Sunrise at 3:30 in the morning

This is nucking futs. Landscapers and construction workers have to wait for noise ordinances to expire at 8:00AM, 4.5 hours after sunrise, just in time for the day to start getting hot.

For coordinating the activities of daylight-oriented workers with clock-oriented workers/students, winter time is terrible. But summer time is actually very reasonable. In summer time, (with idealized timezones):

• The earliest possible sunrise (on a 16-hour summer day, east end of the time zone) is 4:30AM. (The west end of that timezone has sunrise at a more reasonable 5:30AM)

• The latest possible sunrise (on an 8-hour winter day, west end of the time zone) is 9:30AM (The east end of that timezone experiences that sunrise at a more reasonable 8:30AM)

• Earliest possible sunset is 4:30PM (east end of the zone, 8-hour winter day; with the west end experiencing it at 5:30PM)

• Latest possible sunset is 9:30PM (west end of the zone, 16-hour summer day; the east end experiences that same sunset at 8:30PM)

None of these extremes are ideal, but none of them are completely ridiculous either. Year-round Summer time is simply the best alternative to the biannual time change.

Nah, it would be far less disruptive to stick with the time we already use for 3/4 of the year. Winter time is the problem.

Umm… There is one glaring flaw here:

3.4 million data points visualized from several data breaches.

We are only looking at the pin codes of people whose data has been compromised.

Winter SAD is caused primarily by the winter time change suddenly stealing the only hour of unallocated daylight we had for ourselves, and refusing to give it back for three months.

Lock the clocks on spring/summer/fall time; give Little Johnny a PT belt for his morning walk, and stop fucking over the entire planet with this time change nonsense.

My tiny dick thanks you for your consideration.

Trump’s gulf is between his ears.

Does it do scan to FTP? For my Brother MFC device, I spun up a write-only FTP server to drop scanned documents into a network share. That made them immediately accessible to any machine on my network.

Shit just worked.

Every single nuke in the world pointed at the same spot could not achieve anything even close to this.

No, but they could create a thin glass crust over the whole area that would accomplish much the same effect.

I think you can only be properly bi if you’re simultaneously railing a cishet female while being railed by a homosexual male.

Well, not with that attitude.

If a die is weighted, the first roll is no longer 1/6 probability to get a 7

Yes, actually, it is. No matter what the first die lands on, there is a 1 in 6 chance that the second die will land on the corresponding value necessary for a “7”. You could glue the first die to the table with “6” (or any other number) showing, and there will be a 1 in 6 chance that the second die will bring the sum to 7.

Weighting one die (to favor “6”) will increase the probability of every outcome over 7, and will decrease the probability of every outcome under 7, but the probability of rolling a 7 will not change.

Either way…never seen a racist ghost. Which I think has to be statistically impossible.

Hetty Woodstone (“Ghosts”) hated the Irish.

DQ has surprisingly good chili dogs. Their burgers aren’t bad, if you omit the ketchup.

Red Star OS!

Both.

When the riot cops show up, take your protest somewhere else. Play hide and seek with the fuckers, targeting the oligarchs one by one, all through town.

They can be strong somewhere. They can’t be strong everywhere. Keep them moving, keep them chasing you around.

IMO, you can’t really cut “sweet”. You can increase the complexity; you can make it “rich”, but the sweetness tends to overpower whatever you might add.

You might have better luck starting with British-style baked beans. My local (US) grocery stores carry Heinz Beanz
