Zulu time needs to be changed to EST.
We need to change or measurement of time away from hours and minutes to Parsecs now that we have a Space Force
No one can do the Kessel Run in under 12 so we wouldn't have a good baseline to measure it...

First of all, we should scrap the weird radixes of Egypt and Babylonia. Let's go full metric and have 10 hours with 100 minutes each. Let each minute be 100 seconds. The second would be approximately the same 1 metric second = 0,864 old seconds.

Then fix the calendar. A week should be 10 days of course. That gives us 36,5 weeks a year. A bit asymmetrical. First, we take out 5 days. 6 if there is a leap year. That leaves 36 weeks. Four seasons of 9 weeks each. The 5 saved days go in between the seasons for special holidays celebrating summer and winter solstice and the equinoxes. One day each with the extra day and the leap day inserted to prolong one of the holidays to keep the calendar in sync with the sun.
It would work best if we divide the seasons into three three week months so we can keep the 12 months we've gotten used to.

All we need to do is to name the three new days. One of them should be part of the weekend. I propose Hasturday for the last day of the week. It should be dedicated to the destruction of unnecessary stuff.

I want same time in every place+same amount of light simultaneously. 7pm in Georgia while being 7pm in Alaska, with the same brightness. None of this getting dark early shit
If only there was a theory out there which could make this possible...

At least now we are back on GMT the clock in my car shows the right time.
I could read the manual and work out how to adjust the clock but I don't see why I should spend my time doing it just to appease the nanny state.

My car is supposed to automatically adjust the time but didn’t. I hate the time change with a passion. And now every morning I have to drive past the creatures who actually benefit from this setup: the cows and their farmer. I’m going to flash the Jersey salute right at those cud-chewing bastards.

Farmers are horrible, lets get rid of them all. Afterall, what do they do. They can be replaced by anyone. Get rid of the Kulaks, there will be plenty of food.
