But is it a smart smoke detector

Yes, it automatically knows what time is dinner time, and alerts me about 5 minutes before The Wife^TM presents me with a burnt offering.

No, but I have a smoke detector, which is basically the same thing.

Don't you have a smart oven?

Does your car not update automatically?
AYSYCOTBAC?

Don't you have a smart oven? If being a contractor means spending thousands on things I don't need or want just to pose, then I guess I'm not cut out for it

[WTFH]

If it wasn't for cars and ovens, would one even notice?

It's good for them!

Definitely - bunch of wusses. Our lot are decamping to the woods today. Yesterday they ran around in the hail with their tongues stuck out all day But we are predominantly an outdoor setup, everyone has snow suits and full waterproofs! In February I popped down one day to find several of them commando-crawling in the mud

Mrs V walked the Brood+ to and from school in the snow. Not the most popular child minder today.

Because of the clock change? that's a bit extreme, even for the land of the six toed people.

I said Durham not Norwich.

People abandoning their cars in the middle of the main road, buses stuck/crashed, general chaos here this morning.

If you use modern clocks, you don't need to much around. If it wasn't for cars and ovens, would one even notice?

I very much dislike the twice-yearly messing about with clocks. We should stick to GMT such that solar noon is roughly clock noon (not exact, I know, but would be better aligned than now).

I hear several people saying something similar, but why would you want it to be light at 3:30AM (Northern Scotland probably 2AM) and dark one hour earlier in summer? I like the long light summer evenings. It's just one hour time change and if people don't like that let's keep summer time all year round and not move back in winter. If you go for a weekend to France you also have to move the clock an hour and back after a couple of days, no one seems to have an issue with that.

I suppose next you'll be saying there's more than one kind of grass!

Yeah, man, some varieties are much more mellow than others. .
