Passengers on London-Mumbai Virgin Atlantic flight stranded in Turkey for 40 hours https://www.byteseu.com/894497/ #BST #ConfinedSpace #DiyarbakirAirport #HeathrowAirport #london #mumbai #ThePassengers #Turkey #VirginAtlantic

how have you enjoyed your first 'extended day drinking' of the year? mine has been glorious.
#spring #bst

I have been rushing to get the #sheep cleaned out before sunset, only to find that sunset is 2 hours later than I expected.
I’m a grown man and I still haven’t got my head round #bst clock changes.

In a shocking display of eptitude, I managed to change the clock on the microwave without recourse to the instruction manual. #BST

I've just checked and the trilithons and lintels at #Stonehenge have been successfully set to British Summer Time (UTC+1).

I really do wonder if this is a tradition we could now abandon. Such a time consuming exercise twice every year to change them

Perhaps we should abandon BST and just stick to GMT (UTC+0) and honor our four fathers and five mothers some other way?

Switching from #GMT to #BST feels like jetlag

only my oven
loyally remains honest
elsewhere gadgets lie

[Playful Technology] shows how to remote control what an analog clock shows using an ESP8266 microcontroller.

Would be especially useful today

I think rather than having a universal time that everyone follows, we should just all go by whatever it says on the clock on your oven.

Got the dreaded lurgy. Woke up, couldn’t get back to sleep. Came downstairs for drugs and now going round the house with an LED head torch on altering the clocks.
#BST

And so it begins, the ludicrous and outmoded annual move to BST. Its proven to cause stress on the human body, mental trauma and every year contributes to a 48 hour increase in deaths from heart failure. But we do it anyway.

Tomorrow is going to be one hour shorter than normal.

But we get the hour returned to us in October or something.

I think it's a conspiracy and the government use that hour to extract vast amounts of wealth for all their millionaire and billionaire mates.

If you're in the UK, don't forget to put your clocks one hour forward tonight. And read this fascinating article on how the change to British Summer Time (BST) affects our metabolism.

The spring clock change may affect your mind and body longer than you realise

British Summer Time begins this weekend. What are you going to do with your one hour less?

I’ve posted a big thread of robots and other toys that I would like to trade for electronic cash money over on Bluesky:

For those in the #UK who are confused as to the correct time followng the end of Brisish Summer TIme to #GMT then this might help

https://time.is/Unix_time

Apart from the end of British Summer Time tomorrow morning (Sunday) at 02:00 we also have a Unix Time milestone at 03:33:20 UTC when we reach 1730000000

I hope everyone is making the most of the last Sunday of #BST #SummerTime #DST until the end of March.

I'm sure there are a few people who will be happy for the lighter early mornings, but I'm definitely not one of them.

And just imagine how depressing it would be through the autumn if we were forced to #GMT all year.

We finally released #JabRef 5.15 - now with a proper blog post, and this time with correct binaries for intel macs and fixes for #snap users.

This release comes with some nice improvements for #TeXLaTeX users, as can be seen in the video.

And we added experimental support for using #bst styles as Preview.
Despite that, we also did the usual bug fixing and UI improvements
