Like usual, I will be attempting to go and get a burger and return before I left.

Maybe you should let it be known what part of the globe you are referring to.. I just had to wind my clocks forward an hour.

And while it's a bit late, let me throw in this:

If you are adjusting a mechanical clock, do not just crank the hands back an hour willy-nilly. This can do nasty things like make your hours strike incorrectly.

Instead, stop the pendulum for an hour then start it swinging again. If you walk off and forget to start it up in an hour move the hands forward to catch back up, but let each striking or chiming sequence complete before moving on.

There are lots of mechanisms that are self correcting, but that can be a very expensive bet to make.

Remember, it's not "retreating" it's "advancing in a different direction".

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

It's especially annoying when you don't know how to resset you clocks...
Last year I had my watch an hour fast the whole just because whenever I tried to set it, I would accidently make it be in military time or something...they need to make stuff less complicated!

I've always wondered why, now that we have electricity and all, why this silly thing hasn't been repealed. I say split the difference by 30 minutes and leave the bloody clocks alone.

Instead of repealing the nonsense congress has expanded it, claiming that it is an energy conservation measure. I'm not sure in what manner, since as you state we all have electricity.

They tried it in Wisconsin many moons ago and the children ended up going to school in the dark. They thought that was dangerous and went back to daylight savings time. No one thought to start school one hour later.
