Samuel was born first, but his twin brother Ronan is older. How is that possible? Well, here's where Daylight Saving Time comes into play.

There really is no confusion. All time zones, include EDT/EST are based upon offsets from UTC:

UTC does not change with a change of seasons, but local time or civil time may change if a time zone jurisdiction observes daylight saving time (summer time). For example, local time on the east coast of the United States is five hours behind UTC during winter, but four hours behind while daylight saving is observed there.

UTC never shifts by more than a second (i.e. leap second):

Nearly all UTC days contain exactly 86,400 SI seconds with exactly 60 seconds in each minute. However, because the mean solar day is slightly longer than 86,400 SI seconds, occasionally the last minute of a UTC day is adjusted to have 61 seconds. The extra second is called a leap second. It accounts for the grand total of the extra length (about 2 milliseconds each) of all the mean solar days since the previous leap second. The last minute of a UTC day is permitted to contain 59 seconds to cover the remote possibility of the Earth rotating faster, but that has not yet been necessary.

Ha, comment from Johnny Knoxville said the streaker gained more yards than the Bills.

Nice to see about 2000 people showed up for the Bill's game.

Ja Du, born a white male named Adam, now considers himself a Filipino. Turns out the purple ride he drives around in is called a Tuk Tuk, an Asian-derived vehicle used for public transit in the Philippines he says.

Prove it, eat a balut.

I like Reggae music and vacations in Negril.

I guess that makes me Jamaican.

And if I ever become moonstruck, would that make me a selenite?

I agree... human nature can't be changed... I have a friend whose wife is Finnish, and says that the system works well with the nationals... but not with foreign refugees.
Honestly, I don't think it works at all... any government that acts as if it were Robin Hood will sink its country into an economic catastrophe... Venezuela comes to mind...

The "greedy" bondholders will be expected to take haircut so as to continue to prop up another peoples' state.

It's all capitalism's fault, you know.

The infamous "service" pig. Makes one wonder which pig was guiding the other?

This "service animal" thing needs to stop. What a farce. If that that much of a freaking snowflake where you can't travel without being damaged emotionally with our "service animal" then you shouldn't be traveling at all.

The only service animals that should be permitted in the passenger compartment are dogs for the blind and perhaps animals that assist people that are paraplegic.

 

OK now here is one where the condo board should be minding their own business.

The squirrel isn't hurting anyone. I would be more concerned that I had a freaky neighbor that wanted to keep a squirrel for emotional support that is willing to put up with a squirrel craping all over his condo rather than the squirrel itself.

 

A funny pic that my wife found while doing a search to prevent cats from messing around with Christmas trees:

​

 

A little inversion is needed here. Exchange the positions of the cat and tree.

Better just let them mess with it. Problem solved.

 

We serve the two cats that run this house too.
