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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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.
