Hey folks. Hope you all are doing well this Sunday. Woke up early thanks to Daylight Savings. Zzz.
Started playing again last night and today. Got decently geared up, now need to do the quest campaign to actually unlock…well, things to do outside dungeons and Heroics.
Also Chromie found it fit to give me an epic shovel as a weapon, so due to 30+ Ilvl difference between it and my current gun I’m rocking Survival for now. Certainly a lot more faster paced than MM.
I should have stated, the first wave of leaves. This one will drop leaves until it snows. 
Fortunately, the three clocks I look at most, including the two with alarms, automatically update. Then I went in the bathroom to shower and freaked out for a minute because that clock said I needed to be at work in ten minutes.
Probably easier then a vcr.
A friend’s son dressed as “Karen” for Hallowe’en. If they gave out candy he didn’t like he asked to speak with their manager.
Luckily, the bathroom clock is a cheap plastic battery-operated analog clock that I got at Target or somewhere about 35 years ago, so, while it is surprising that it still works, it is very easy to reset, unlike VCRs - just turn the dial on the back.
One of my clocks that resets automatically is also analog, which means that it doesn’t know where its hands are, so when you do have to reset it manually (like when the battery dies), it’s a whole thing. It’s worse than a VCR.
I have a digital clock that auto adjust to daylight savings time, it also reaches out on some frequency or another to synch itself to a time signal. From that signal, it uses the time zone settings you select to display that time to you.
It is so old it has the old daylight savings time changes programmed into it and I can’t change that. I have to change the time zone by an hour until the savings times synch up again.
How about cars that were as difficult to change the clocks as a vxr.
Wow. Both the analog clock I already mentioned and my clock radio do the sync with the time signal (I believe it’s broadcast from Colorado, at least for my location). I don’t know a lot about that system, but it’s been around a very long time. It must have an updated protocol that can tell clocks when the time change happens, because mine both did it on their own this morning. My phone is the other automatic one, and I’ve just realized I don’t know if it uses NTP (an Internet protocol) or if the cell network provides time information.
Oh yeah. My current car has a clock button and usually doesn’t take me too long to figure out. My previous car, I had to get out the owner’s manual every time.
This is me. I have successfully set my clock in my car once in the 19 years I have had it. Requires the manual for certain.
I’m kind of afraid to set the clock and the radio presets, because for a while it seemed like as soon as I did those things successfully, something happened to the car that caused it to lose them. Like dead battery at the cheap end, up to alternators or random other stuff that required electrical off to diagnose.
I could see some of the blues doing this when they come in in the morning.
Phone, watch, tablet, PC and car all adjust automatically for DST. The only thing I had to adjust manually was the microwave (press the CLOCK button, enter correct time, then press the CLOCK button again).
As of four hours ago, the roommates still had not adjusted their kitchen clock.
Mom and I go out to breakfast on Sundays. Yesterday, as we were finishing up, one of the hostesses was trying to set a BIG clock (probably about four feet across). She’s a kid (probably 16-18) and admitted she doesn’t know how to read an analog clock. mind blown I guess they don’t teach analog clocks any more. Anyway… I got “voluntold” by the boss there that I was helping her set the clock. I suppose I deserved it, since I do have a tendency to mess with most of the crew there (good natured joking, etc.).
Good morning all and happy Monday! Anxious as heck here for whatever reason. Ugh. I have been aimlessly cleaning random things like pulling out the whole stove and deep cleaning.
Tidies lounge and sets out fresh hot coffee vats, hot water, cocoa, assorted teas, and fixings. Add some baskets and bowls of fresh cranberry muffins, fruit, bagels, and croissants.
Fingers crossed today is a good day for all.
My kids don’t do analog clocks either. My youngest hates it when I used old fashioned time.
Me: It’s a quarter after.
Him: What does that mean?
Me: 2:15
Him: Why didn’t you just say that.
Me: I just did.
Him: 
Oh! I laughed so hard.
This sounds just like my mother with my kids.
I go back and forth with this, depending if I am talking to my mother, or my kids!
To my mother it’s half hour, quarter till, and quarter after.
To my kids it’s 1:30, 1:45, and 1:15.
Heavens forbid if I mix it up while talking to any of them.
