Worst is UTC vs GMT
  • We could keep the 0 hour as the "middle" of the night and 12 being the "middle" of the day (though I'm not sure if that's really the sun's high spot for the day for any places).

    But with fully controlled mirrors, we could make it exactly 12 hours, so we could just then switch to the 0 hour being when the sun comes up.

  • It's pretty simple, actually. A village somewhere in Europe that is completely in the shade all day for part of the year has already proven it.

    Mirrors.

    We just need a ring of motorized mirrors around the Earth.

    At hour 0, the mirrors will rotate to show sun all across the entire Earth.

    At hour 12, the mirrors will rotate to put all of the Earth into night time.

    That lets the entire Earth have the exact same synchronized time synchronized with the daylight.

    The mirrors will block the sun from parts of the earth facing during the night.

    The mirrors will constantly be rotating to keep the proper amount of sun light facing each part of Earth as the Earth rotates.

    The mirrors will be solar powered.

    This will fix it, right?

  • Those are some big bolts! I would think dropping nails on the road would be more dangerous than dropping bolts, though, for attacking enemy tires.

    (City boy, not even a pleeb, so everyone else knows those are not just big bolts except me)

  • Switch from Ubuntu to something immutable?
  • Open your computer and reseat any cables and components that you can.

    Maybe even do a memory test with something like MemTest86(?).

    Random electric noise and disconnects could cause random corruption issues like this.

    Do ceiling fan motors from the same manufacturer and same time change based on the blade length?

    Currently installed is a recent (about 10 years) Harbor Bay 5 blade ceiling fan with 44" blade diameter.

    In a box I have a recent (about 10 years) Harbor Bay 5 blade ceiling fan with 52" blade diameter.

    Yes, the large blades will run the motor harder.

    Would these two fans likely use the same motor, so that I can just swap the larger blades and leave the current motor? Or is there a high chance the motors are sized specific to their blades, and I would need to fully swap the motor to use the larger blades?

    The blades appear to use the same connection.
