Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

you should have very little difference, but much greater compatibility.

compatibility with what?

There's lots of tables with specific pixel-sized dimensions, especially in the left-hand column. If I make the font-sizes all percentages, it'll wreak havoc with the layout.

And FYI, the base size was 14px.

That which does not kill you should RUN

I got this header for Natter at 1:03 a.m. -- that's the *new* 1:03, after the time change. Please note the number of new messages.

And this is what I got 3 minutes later:

Natter 3: My Life and Times of Me, as Seen by Me (1070 messages, -4 new)

Then when I clicked in the Natter thread, the final post said 1074 of 1072:

Is it just b/c of the time change?

Oohhh! I didn't connect that with Daylight Savings! It's gotta be connected with the time change! ita where are you?!

It's kind of cool-looking.

And now I just posted in Bitches, but the posts are all out of order. Like, my new post is wedged in the middle of older posts.

I think you'll find that the posts are roughly in chronological order except that the board innards don't take into account the time change. So a post at the "new" 1:15 am (which would have been 2:15 am if not for the time change) gets moved back an hour and is positioned near the messaged posted at the first "old" 1:15 am. It's not exactly that, but it's close. No, I can't explain why either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Interesting. Let me look at the code and see what they're ordered by.
