:facepalm:

People still own clocks that YOU have to set?!?

I'm looking forward to my clocks being correct after 7 months of them being off by an hour.

Who the hell is Tracy Rheaume?

wow. Is someone really that stupid? How do they expect to set their clocks back to a flashing 11:00?

I just turn off my breaker for an hour.

What's with everybody getting so excited about getting the Weeners in lately?

I thought DST was extended by 2 or 3 weeks on both sides -- and wouldn't it have been last week under the old system? So we got shorted at least a week? That's crap.

I'm all for putting weeners in things.

I'm always excited about Weeners. Seriously though, I refreshed, like, 5 times and there were no posts. I didn't have anything relative to say, and I've never had a *boobies* before.

If you're confused about putting your weener in something, please read the manual, or take it in to the store for help.

Mine just keeps flashing 12:12.

I read the manual and it is the 'Tab A' that fits snuggly in 'Slot B'.

/Since I am farking you can assume not not tonight.

I bet you could make some serious dough going door-to-door, charging the old people a quarter a clock to set their time back and hour.

You could call yourself the clock blocker because it's catchy.

He'll help.

Zactly
/glad to see I'm not alone

I think I just got stupider simply from reading this article. If my 82-year-old grandmother can set her own clocks back, your average American should be able to. In a perfect world, that is.

\hooray for analog

You read my mind.

Some attribution, msnbc. Keep up the good work.

Have we really become that helpless that we need media outlets advising us on the best way to operate simple consumer products, this doesn't help the whole pussification of society thing.

yeesh

To be honest, I never set my VCR clock in the first place. I know how, I just never saw the point. The power around here goes out more frequently than I would like, and it's too much trouble to re-set it every time. Besides, I figure, if my life ever depends upon me knowing what time it is based on a VCR clock, I'm screwed anyway.

/So, at 2am, the clocks go back one hour?
//Man, I hope my boss knows
///Heh, I can just see him showing up at work an hour early and being all pissed

Someone make a youtube video of them taking a clock in for help.

Argh, now I have to set my sundial back.

Wow...we really are not far from the end are we? You'll excuse me while I go check the guns, ammo and supplies.

Damn you people its a clock.

Yeah, maybe in Canada where the dollar is worth something!

/clock blocker, though, that is catchy

How to use a toothpick (from 'So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish', by Douglas Adams). You can just read the top couple of lines.

Waa Waa, America is getting "pussyfied!

As long as there is at least one "cockified" farker left, Americas cockification will persist. No need to worry.

Tachikoma: What's a "VCR"?

Clocks are frequently used for telling time. Sometimes they must be reset in order to show the correct time.

Aw, god dammit. I forgot about that filter.

If it doesn't get it's time from the network in some form, then I don't care about it.

FTFA: People with atomic clocks, which automatically reset themselves to the Universal Time do not need to be concerned with adjusting clocks. But battery-run, time-keeping devices will need a little attention.

Uhh, does she know that atomic clocks are not, in fact, run by fission reactors?

a clock should either pull it's time from a server somewhere, or you should be able to set it by physically moving the minute hand. nothing in between is satisfactory.

Atomic clocks sync with the actual atomic clock in Boulder.

I am aware of that. Reread my post.

YAY TICK TOCK!

Average Consumer: So does the sink come standard with the boulder or are these features for more exspensive clocks? Can I use the sink in my kitchen in an emergency? This won't make me sterile will it?

Below-Average Consumer: I need a new clock to wake me up on election day to vote for Ron Paul.

Yeah, well if the news outlets would stop producing this idiotic drivel and finally get around to something worthwhile, like telling me how to coupe with the media causing everyone to becoming so dim-witted and pussified...well then I'd know what to do, and problem solved.

Stoopid news peoples and there confusicatin folkses, it ant rite.

Holy shiat, that was the dumbest article I've ever read.

*golf clap* Well done. Well done.

OMG that is the freakiest shiat! The Wheelers (Wheelies?) gave me nightmares!

/off to see if it's available on DVD

Daylight savings time. Feh. More useless congressional arrogance.
When they can successfully legislate Gravity Savings Time, then I'll be impressed.

Yeah, that whole turning the earths axis back by an hour.....wow, now that really is a biatch.

*sigh* ... I'm dumber for reading this thread..

Glad to see "Return to Oz" love. Haven't seen it since I was a kid, but I remember Tic-Toc was freaking cool and that the Nome King still seems to haunt my dreams. Easy to find on DVD?

superluminal girl: Who the hell is Tracy Rheaume?

I assume she's the proud owner of a store called something like 'Helpless Morons Inc.'.

aglassonion: Glad to see "Return to Oz" love.



This.

I hate that the term "atomic clock" has come to mean something completely stupid. Its not a farking atomic clock dammit. It's a clock that's synced up to your local radio station.

mr-b *sigh* ... I'm dumber for reading this thread..

Yeah, because you were just somewhat dumb before you read it.
