Americans haven't been taught time zones.

I'm not so sure that's correct - since I think that Americans have more than one time zone - across that continent - and just about all Americans would be aware of that - ah - googled it - and there ya go -

Yes, that's right. They got that part of the info, but haven't been told the rest of the world isnt in their time zone. That's why it's only the americans that are doing good morning and good night at seemingly random times to the rest of us who dont do that... because we know not everyone in the internet is not in the same time zone.

Could this be partly why many Europeans see americans as dumb?

I was born in america btw. I just choose not to live there. I left when it got fucked up beyond repair.

Hmm - I think it works the other way too - many Europeans are unaware that America has several time zones - I've often been asked 'What time is it it America now?' - by those unaware of the time differences - from East to West coast USA - all down to education I suppose -
I was born in England - but moved to the USA for 5 years in 1977 - and moved around a fair bit - east to west - north to south - so different time zones were a thing -

I guess it takes a traveler to have time zones as part of your normal awareness.

Daylight Savings Time (DST) is American, and it is dumb. Then the reason for dumb Americans is the food. Also, we are in general education for 14 years of our lives and go to a school for more general education or go into a trade in which you haven’t been educated for due to all the general education you had to distract you. Generally stupiducated people is greatest asset to our economy in the U.S.

as a kid we had coal stoves for heating and cooking , well water with a hand pump in the kitchen sink , and of course an outhouse

I remember the bright green pump in the kitchen. The wood stove was in the middle of the kitchen (heated the house thataway) and had a looong big metal pipe going from the stove to across under the ceiling, through the wall. On the side of the stove, there was a big box that held hot water. No coal though, oak wood only.

I hated, hated the outhouse. Mosquitos would come up out of the pooper hole, and dozens of big black and yellow nasty wasps would watch me every second.

We have daylight savings time here too in the UK - when the clocks go back or forward an hour - and it makes sense to me - because I have 2 school aged kids - that walk to school - and due to daylight savings time - year round - they can walk to school when it's 8am - and they have daylight - if the time wasn't changed - they would have to walk to school in the dark for part of the year -

How did you avoid getting stung on the arse - by the mossies or the yellow jackets? - or was it a blood buffet - every day - in that outhouse - for all them flying and creepy crawl'in insects - with you - on the menu -

I've known that feeling - squatting on an Asian toilet - SQUATTING and SWATTING! - where you'd get eaten alive - if you were constipated - and hung around too long -

- generally feelings of personal security are heightened - when ya pants are around ya ankles - so being attacked by insects - brings the flight or fight instinct into play - those that take flight as an option - halfway thru the ablutions - could experience injury - and a stinky mess - whilst trying to flee - those that choose to fight - should be well armed with swatting devices and bug spray -

Now ya might want to follow up with your last mortar round by calling out the exemplary (adequate?) response from the other outfit.

Absolutely, already planning that missive to Ford corporate customer relations.

I thought I would also post it on Gresham Fords customer comments page, lauding them while denigrating Courtesy Ford. If I put it on Courtesy Ford, they could just take it off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have had people tell me that I tend to take no prisoners.

You are not done with Courtesy Ford. Let them know that you have done the following because of their failures:

1. Gone to a competitor
2. Ratted Courtesy Four out to Corporate
3. Dumped on them puiblicly at the Gresham page (tell them to read it and see the result of their lousy service)
4. Exposed their bad faith on the Internet and it is GOING VIRAL

The concept is to grind the grit into the face of your enemy.

In sum, you will actually doing Courtesy Ford a service: No matter how they "brush it off", it WILL sting several people. This greatly increases the chances that their service department gets a tad closer to strack.

Really? I wasn’t in the UK long enough to know that is a thing there too. Last time I was there I left in October. That’s good then if it makes you
be more secure as a parent and for your
kids to be more secure on the walk to school in the morning. For me it makes my life difficult for then entire lunar cycle following the time change, why I think it’s dumb. Just gaslighting me twice a year.

likely that’s its the kick off of seasonal depression for millions of people every year when their solunar reliant internal clock requires the adjustment


its personally easier on my mind and body to fly west intercontinental than to deal with the time change

Bitcoin options trade shows more bets on retreat after failing to breach $100,000 — Reuters

Investors in the world's largest cryptocurrency are anticipating a significant downward move after bitcoin failed to hit an all-time peak of $100,000, according to a crypto trading platform citing recent options activity.

stocks.apple.com

The best-known cryptocurrency has soared 120% so far this year and about 34% this month with the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president and a slew of pro-crypto lawmakers in Congress. Trump embraced digital assets during his campaign, promising to make the United States the "crypto capital of the planet," and accumulate a national stockpile of bitcoin.

Crikey... I remember one guy GIVING a bitcoin to another one on a chat group just because the other guy did him a favor and complimented him on going into bitcoin. <-- TINS

This is something I missed out on. I will give myself a lifetime breakdown score:

A+ For sticking to a plan conceived/begun when a "Krugerrand In Hand" cost $198 -- to wit: a steady adherence to a set percentage of any income to be reserved for purchase of K-rands or Junk silver.

A+ For "Buy and Hold". Have done so for half a century.

F For not selling silver when the Hunt brothers did their thing.

F For not buying bitcoin at any time prior to my retirement. See below for double punishment.

F And if I HAD bought a bitcoin or two back in the Olden Days, they would have been converted to Krugerrands and junk silver on my birthday this week. <-- All -- yes all -- tax free.
