Sunset was at 4:46 pm tonight. Last light was 5:15. https://sunrisesunset.willyweather.com/

A setting maybe?

Our Forester gets its time signals from the Internet, just like a phone and PC. I haven't seen a setting to control DST, but it may be hidden somewhere in all the menus. The dealer rep says it's automatic. We'll know tomorrow...

My wife just pointed out one more benefit of our new car. No more changing the clock for EDT/EST.

We like Nat Geo and Nat Geo Wild programs at times, but we won't miss the others. We subscribe to ESPN+ for the NHL season, so we've got that covered.

Oops! Forgot about that one. The stove in our motorhome doesn't have a clock, but the one the house does.

The difference is who controls the action. Since Dish controls AutoHop, the providers can make it a contract issue. On the other hand, the FF button is ubiquitous, and controlled only by you, making it difficult or impossible for the providers to exercise any control over its use.

I'm at the stage where I remember things from 60+ years ago, but I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday.

From Google's AI: "Coca-Cola was sold for a nickel from its introduction in 1886 until 1959, a period of 70 years. The price remained fixed at five cents for such a long time due to factors like bottling contracts, advertising, and the widespread use of vending machines designed to accept only...

I recall the regular price in our area being 19 cents, but I also remember it going down to 10 cents during price wars with the neighboring stations. I ran a tab during the week that was deducted from my...

This was definitely a live login. I searched a couple of NAS drives to see if any of my old files had survived the transition to the newer servers. I found some of them, including my original network design files. I was even able to see that one of the NAS RAID 5's is using a hot spare. Password...

Yesterday I was looking through the hard drive I'll be cleaning out on an old desktop PC I'll be dropping off at the local electronics recycling bin. When I ran across my old login to the corporate servers where I used to work, I was amazed to find out after 20 years retired that it still...

The YTTV system works fine for the majority of the programming we want to save. We haven't missed our H2's at all this year.

It took us about a month to get comfortable with streaming compared to Dish, but the savings only took a minute to get used to. ;)

When we were traveling RV'ers, I sometimes set up our tripod mounted 1K4 as often as daily. It became just another 10-15 minute part of our routine site setup. Now that we're streaming everything, I almost miss doing that. Almost...
