Isn't this basically how it already works

Goht is a mechanical bull but not that kind of mechanical bull

No I didn't say you were the GOAT, I said you were the Goht, the Masked Mechanical Monster which serves as the boss of the Snowhead Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It's roughly equivalent

GenAI can generate pretty much photorealistic images but that doesn't make it a camera

This perfectly squares the circle of

* want light when you go to work in the morning
* want light when you come home in the evening
* want to work 9am to 5pm
* irrespective of the actual number of available daylight hours

Move the clock forward one hour in the middle of the day, and back one hour in the middle of the night, every day and night, through the whole of winter

Yes sure let's have it switch over from 11pm Monday to midnight Tuesday in the middle of the afternoon

In the original Deus Ex, when you're buying stuff from someone, the prices are baked right into the dialogue. If they decided to change those prices for balance purposes, multiple lines would need re-recording

I'm guessing they didn't do that too often!

"6:35am is TOO EARLY for it to be sunny out"

Why?

"I hate it when it gets dark before the end of the working day"

So do a lot of people. You can change this? It's not like "nine to five" is hacked into a granite tablet somewhere

Except... it kind of *is*

The interesting thing about seasonal clock movement is that some people have such strong opinions about what "7:35am" or "4pm" means that it's easier to move EVERY CLOCK IN YOUR REGION than shed those cultural associations or reschedule your working day

The Indian plate is part of the Indo-Australian plate, which underlies the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal, and is moving north-east at an average of 60 mm/a (0.075 in/Ms).

On a scale of 1 to 10 how much do you hate it when a scale runs from 1 to 10

Me, I'm at the exact middle point on this scale. 5.5 out of 10

Well if you can find some Simpsons media which gives Bart a birthday year of 1977 I'd be interested to see it, but that was before the show actually became a phenomenon

The basic problem is that the spinning Earth is

1. not a particularly accurate clock
2. the most important clock, ever
