What gets you jazzed?

Why would you need to do that? People using 24-hour clocks do so for their local time zone.

With log correlation we get logs from approximately 5,000 sources collated into a single repo. It is critical to know the timestamp on each source has been normalized, and of course not all are.

Potato chips. Potato chips get me jazzed.

Not just in the USA, all of Europe does too. I'm in the GMT +01:00 time zone, but currently it's actually GMT +02:00 because we're in summer time. Which means that it gets properly dark only at about half past ten at night these days (sunset today is 22:06, says my computer, but that's the moment the bottom of the sun touches the horizon). The weirdest thing is that all of the Netherlands should be in the GTM +00:00 time zone, which is to say UK time — as would Belgium, France and Spain, but we're all on Central European Time instead. Almost certainly because it's more practical and more useful economically to be on German time instead.

Until maybe twenty years ago, the UK didn't switch to summer or winter time on the same date as the rest of Europe, but two weeks later. This was fun when watching British TV, as you would need to keep in mind during those weeks that shows you followed would be on an hour earlier or later than you were used to.

Well that's a cluster!

Asian household life hack:
Greasy fingers and styrene don't mix;
Use chopsticks!

Added bonus: improves fine motor skills!

Use chopsticks!

Easier said than done!

1986, myself and a few not quite sober friends are in a restaurant in Tokyo. The only utensils on the table are chopsticks, well we give it a go. The results were unsatisfactory.
The waitresses must have had a good laugh among themselves, however before long one of them brought us forks.
I haven't tried using chopsticks since.

Ah, OK. I thought you meant for daily life

 

[BarleyBop]

using chopsticks

Hahaha, I was going to post a link to adult training chopsticks, then I found these!

Ha, I might have stood a chance if I was sober.........but Sake is good stuff!

 

[BarleyBop]

Sake is good stuff

Mmmm.... Heated up and served in tiny cups, so smooth, it has a way of sneaking up on you!

 

[Edbert]

I'm seriously enjoying the test-run of early retirement!

The saddest thing I've heard all day...

...that is daily life.

Aside from explaining things until after people begin ignoring me, I like pretty skies and landscapes, and taking photos of them.

Here's one from under an hour ago, when I went to buy birdseed in the next village over:

And the same from about a kilometre further on:

A quarter past nine yesterday evening, when I went for a walk:

Though I had to tinker with brightness etc. a lot because, due to the sun being directly in the photo, everything else ended up far darker than it actually was. Compare to this, taken a few minutes later but facing south instead of west, and not adjusted at all:

(The shore is curved because this is a panoramic photo — IRL it's straight.)

About half past nine last Tuesday evening, outside my house:

The place that sells birdseed is next to the village windmill, whose door was open, and as I had never been inside it, I asked the chap who was doing some painting on it if I could look around. So here's a photo that might be of interest, too:

Tuesday's lighting and those huge wooden gears quite notable to me too!

Beautiful landscape and how cool on the windmill!

I found a 1955 Washington quarter in my pocket change today.

Wow! Older than me!
There is so little physical currency these days in circulation, makes it all the more exciting!
A few years ago, found this in the floorboards while renovating...

Our house will be 150 this year!

What is really humbling about that was the realization that much of the wood in the house was probably cut from virgin forest and could be at least as old now or older than your US of A!

We just celebrated Canada Day, so a happy July 4th to you and yours!
