    What do you do about customer expectations?

    I remember a bakery that opened at 10.

    It didn't last long....

    Customers are the last thing any business should be concerned with.

    Let’s get our social media presence managed first.

    Geebus, I am not mandating a damn thing.
    1. Employees have almost never determined what time their employer opens or closes. I'm not in any way insinuating they get to choose.
    2. If a baker wants to try to make it using hours that do not correspond to customer demand, he/she/they are idiots.
    There is zero need to mandate DST or ST. Firms have different work hours already. Make it complicated if you wish.

    dst all the time, makes more sense in the northern latitudes, in my honest opinion. gives us more light at night, gets a little lighter later in the morning for approx 6 weeks. Ski

    take a rocket, go up in space, fly counterclockwise around earth at the speed of light, come back and land.


    thank me later

    oh wait, stop by @Metalhead 's house first. doesn't work otherwise

    How do you fly counterclockwise around a sphere? Or are you implying a flat-earth phenomena....

    He is most likely assuming that you will fly around the equator and like most biased North Americans, assumes that you are looking at it from somewhere above the North Pole when judging clockwise vs. counterclockwise.

    Unfortunately, that is a very difficult launch / flight profile, as you have to overcome earth's gravity plus your velocity at the earth's surface that already has you moving the wrong way when you launch. Of course compared to the energy necessary to travel close to the speed of light that is trivial, so whatever.

    Sabre699 Wait...hold my beer.

    Equitorially of course.

    Edit: Late to the party.

    So a metric day has 10^5 metric seconds in it, and the Julian Day has 86400 regular old seconds, so a metric second = 0.864 normal seconds. Fuck that, that's gonna make my lap times go up.

    Yes but there's 2.2 lbs per kg, so going metric your weight goes way down......

    Just under the speed of light and you'll "time travel" to the future. The world may be entirely uninhabitable so you probably won't have to worry about DST at all.

    My day starts when I can see well enough to get shit done.

    It ends when I get my shit done.

    I couldn't care less what time it is.

    The End.

    If I were still in England, I would weigh about 14 stone. You can keep your metric system. The French came up with that shit so that they could calculate the most efficient way to surrender.

    Oh yes, 'stones'....

    So 14 stones is your weigh.

    So your mass would be how many slugs again? :D

    (....)

    It brings up the question: if slugs are stuck on said stone, does the acceleration drop to 'toes'?...


    Not quite convinced that the Queen's units make any sense. (Neither the rest of the gang)
