Time zones

[Rich Stern]

There is a new setting in the preferences screen. You can set your local time zone so that message times appear in local time.

Where's Mickey's hands???????? :^(

 

[Andrew Zuber]

Does this work for Daylight Savings Time too???



az

 

[Rich Stern]

Andy, the time shown is the current time in the specified zone. So, if you post a message at 8pm EDT, it shows up as 8pm ET. Same would be true if we were on standard time. A message posted at 8pm EST will show up as 8pm ET. The amount of code required to make the distinction between standard and daylight savings time is not worth the effort.



Those of you in Indiana and Arizona (time zone jumpers...outta be outlawed), will have to adjust the setting twice a year to reflect your state's allegiance to the time zone in effect.

Just ban Hoosiers from the site!

Arizona - No Problem! They hunt rattlesnaks, not fish!

 

[Ken Neeley]

What's a rattle snack???

 

[Rich Stern]

It's like a Slim Jim, but made from snake, not beef. See 'em a lot on the counters at Seven-Elevens in the southwest.

 

[Staci Matheis]

Slim Jim's are beef? Never woulda guessed!

 

[Staci Matheis]

Thought it was made from Naugas!

 

[TrepMan]

I thouht they were made from dead rednecks named Jim??

 

[Rich Stern]

From the DietPower web site regarding Slim Jims:



"DietPower has declared us the World's Worst Food. A one-ounce stick contains half an ounce of fat and nearly 500 milligrams of sodium. (That's almost a quarter-teaspoon of salt.) We're laced with nitrates. And we're made of parts of the cow that you don't even want to know about. Anything is more healthful than a Slim Jim

 

[Ken Neeley]

Beer and Slim Jim's...the breakfast of champions!!!

 

[Staci Matheis]

How about liverwurst? Piled thick on white bread with lots of ketchup! And a tall glass of milk!!
