I'm a freak in that regards. For some reason, my comfort zone is about 10 to 20 degrees less than everyone else. So for me, hair is just an inconvenience. If i have too much of it, my brain overheats and I have to shut down and need a reboot.

I am the opposite of that even, my head gets chilled easily. I need to wear a hat in the winter if I am living in a colder place. In Ireland I had to wear 2 hats inside each other because of the nasty wind chill there.

There is only one white chocolate here and it isnt very nice. Strange texture. I wish i could get the above chocolate.

Oh I still wear them when it's like 20 below zero. I'm just all bitter about it

 

[Spang]

I wear a hat when I mow the lawn or when my hair is unkempt and I need to go out in public.

I have around-the-neck ear thingies for the bitter cold.

It's ridiculous that we have to change the clocks on March 10. It's still winter. Who needs the hour at the end of the day when I was finally starting to see the sunrise around 6:30 a.m. Now it's going to be dark longer in the mornings, again. I am seriously annoyed.

DST is the worst thing ever.

DST is the worst thing ever.

China has neither daylight savings nor time zones, so in the west of China the sun might not come up until like noon.

We should just go back to sun dials since we can't seem to get it right

Does china just have one timezone?

Yes! Sundials! I'll make the watch out of Sun, and the band out of Dial. I'll smell so hygienic.

Anyone remember Bane from that last Batman movie? I wanna hear that voice of his in my everyday life. Maybe someone can make a Bane GPS that'll tell me where to find things or something like that.

I like how hats look. They can be such wonderful expressions of personal style.

I used to buy hats for myself, until I eventually realized that it was a waste, since I can never bring myself to wear them.

I knit cowls for myself for cold weather - I can pull them up over my head when I need to, they're not as constricting as a hat, and the moment I walk inside, I can pull them back down without worrying about losing them.

I also have to keep my hair very short, otherwise it drives me nuts.

If it were even somewhat acceptable for women to go bald, I'd be shaving my head.

I've been told I look "cute" in hats but I think I look like a dork in them.

I always imagine us trying to explain our time system to aliens.

(Spoiler'd for long and fake convo)

"So, uh, you base your clock around the speed your planet revolves around the sun?"

"Yeah, part of it."

"Well, that's barely consistent."

"I know! That's why some years are longer than others."

"Then how do you divide them up into consistent smaller time slots?"

"Oh, no, we don't. Not consistent ones. Some of the smaller time slots are longer than the others."

"Hmm... years and months, you say?"

"Yep."

"And that's all?"

"Well, no, there's a more consistent smaller time slot called a 'day' that we split our months into. There are less days in some months than others obviously but we make it work."

"What about the way smaller temporal units?"

"Minutes and seconds. A minute is sixty seconds long. And sixty minutes is an hour."

"Why sixty? Is the number sacred?"

"I'm not sure, actually."

"Then surely there are at least a reasonable number of hours in a day? Something to a power of ten, perhaps?"

"Actually it's 24."

"Why is that?"

"Yeah, I don't know."

"Well, even with this crazy system, at least your whole planet manages to stay synchronized."

"Actually..."

Yep. After the commie takeover in 1949, Beijing time became the standard for all of China.

That's interesting, I never knew that.

COMMIE TAKEOVER.

It must be confusing to live right at a time zone line. I have a hard enough time remembering when different businesses close - if I had to figure out what time zone each was in, I'd be constantly pulling up to find doors locked, not to mention being very early or very late for appointments.

Yep, that period in which they killed all the rich, educated people or chased them to Taiwan and then lived happily ever after

I would have thought that timelines zigzag around populous areas for most part. But then I dont know, the entire country here has the same timezone.

Australia has all sorts of timezones though. One of them is even on the half hour instead of the hour.
