Which One Came First?

[pphaneuf]

We did the DST switch-over recently, which is, of course, accompanied by some ranting on my part. Personally, I like it when, in the case of event A preceding event B, the time at which event A happened is before the time at which event B happened. You know, causality and other space-time continuum issues...

So did this mother. Heh.

That's retarded. That's like saying baby B was born first because they were on a boat that crossed between time zones before the birth. 1:32 EST comes before 1:06 EDT - what's so complicate about that?

It's quite retarded, yes. I like to think that I'm a whimsical person at heart, but some things aren't supposed to jump around wildly, to the whims of a bunch of guys in government, for altogether wrong reasons (the Department of Energy recommended against it, if I remember, but they had too much whiskey that day, I guess?)...
