Watchalong Update: Stupid Goddamn Daylight Savings
Added 2025-03-09 14:00:17 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
An update primarily for the US patrons. Daylight savings has kicked in, which means that the 7pm UK start time for today's Watchalong translates into 3pm ET and 12noon PT, not the previously advertised start times
Stoopid damn farmers
See you tonight!

Meanwhile in the upside down I get 6 months of '11 hours difference - that's painful but at least it's workable' and 6 months of '9 HOURS? 9 HOURS? how the hell am I supposed to manage that?'. Curse my half a life being the other side of the world.

2025-03-09 17:28:55 +0000 UTCI don’t mind it being a Tuesday as long as it’s a holiday but you know, why would they make it easier for people to vote? I’m not trying to come at the farmers. I need to stay in the farmers’ good books

2025-03-09 16:52:23 +0000 UTCThe trope is usually farmers HATE DST in my experience (because cows don't read clocks). Farmers are who we blame for US Election Day being a Tuesday instead of the weekend. :D

2025-03-09 15:27:25 +0000 UTCJust double checked and it seems like it’s a holdover from WW1 measures to save energy. So we actually have to blame the Germans apparently.
