When the OS is DOS you can easily fit the entire thing on a floppy.

Mac OS system 6 too, I think.

If those people could read, they’d be … less upset, I guess.

But it’s only a mirror in one of those two ways.

Or just, y’know, not bother with fucking up everyone else’s lives.

That’s not more sunlight though! The numbers changed without making any difference.

The only thing that changes when daylight-saving goes into effect is that we suddenly decide to get up at 6 am but call it 7 am for some reason.

If you want more sunlight get up earlier, don’t change the clocks!

To take your example:

almost nobody is up at 4-5 AM, and almost everybody wants to stay out from 7-9 PM in the summer.

Without daylight-saving time it’s exactly the same except the numbers: “nobody is up at 5-6 AM and everybody wants to stay out from 8-10 PM in the summer”

This has zero impact on our daily schedule except for the numbers we assign to it.

Daylight-saving time fucks with our daily schedule twice a year for no reason.

About 8 hours before noon, and about 8 hours after. That’s… as it should be.

It seems fine to me. What’s the problem?

Morning accidents increased and schoolchildren were injured or killed.

With car culture as it is now, that’ll just be seen as business as usual.

Nah they called that out separately.

an unidentified McElree approached students while in plain clothes

Sure, it’s just very odd phrasing.

Better as something like “McElree approached the students without identifying himself”

It reads like “I don’t know what that is but I’m sure it’s a McElree!”

Sounds pretty identified to me.

What is a “McElree”?

You might want to use some paragraphs there…

But January 29th was over a month ago, and you can bet that this plan started before the news noticed and reported on it.

Right, and the massing of troops on the Ukrainian border by Russia was not a prelude to that invasion either. /s

This was in no way a bolt from the blue. People knew this was coming. Did you even read the linked article?

This was a months- or weeks-long preparation. It’s been known for a while that the US was moving aircraft carriers towards Iran. This absolutely did not happen overnight.

It’s always been wild to me how the seemingly-simplest change (“what is the name of this computer”) has so many little gotchas and quirks.
