OT: Danger! Time warp!

I'm not that fond of IVs myself.

[Tjoepstil]

fronts have no 'pressure'

you are talking bollocks.

[PeterC]

Ah, a development of the luminous sundial (invented in Ireland).

[rbowman]

Okay, the LOW PRESSURE AREAS that are often associated with a COLD FRONT may cause a change in barometric pressure. Happy now?

As I said, I'm talking about climbing a mountain not in three days.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

Because they never have any sun?

[Max Demian]

So they can see the time at night.

If you want to tell the time at light with a sundial, all you need to do is to fix a motor-driven light on a track so it follows a path at night that the sun would follow if it was above the horizon :-)

I think anyone with at least half a brain would have noticed that glaring error.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

It's for symmetry:

[James Wilkinson Sword]

Not normally. I don't run my life like that.

But your previous paragraph stated that there is unnecessary information.

Why would you want to push a button? Inconvenient if you're cycling etc.

[Max Demian]

If it's on Facebook it must be true.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

It's on google, just happened to be the first hit.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

They're only hazardous to humans.

[rbowman]

Russian lies!

[rbowman]

No. Some of the drugs that do not degrade when they pass through a human are screwing up the fish.

One wonders if intersex humans have been drinking a lot of sewage.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

Not possible in a civilised society. You have to match your activities with everyone else's.

This must drive pedants mad.

[Steve Walker]

Yes. I have said this for years, when I have said that moving the clocks back simply deprives everyone of useful daylight as they finish school or work and people have argued that I should just go out an hour earlier or later.

Of course it ticks, it's just a very, very fast pendulum ;)
