    Who is in charge of editing these clips. I mean happy holidays. Please consider more gradual intros and exits by adding a few more seconds to each. This is a general criticism of all the clips. It's jarring the way yall do it, and you cut this poor guy off.

    Replace them with leap minutes. A leap hour involves too much discrepancy between civil time and astronomical time. Places with late sunrises this time of year will have even later sunrises if we wait a few thousand years to correct the discrepancy with a leap hour.

    come to find out, the Earth speeds up and slows down nano seconds over time so clocks are just a suggestion as to the time of day, When you bounce around from Standard to Daylight Savings, Time is elastic, easily wasted, often lost and can never be regained, so make the Best of the Time you have NOW, time is always Now.

    This is why I avoid living by the clock as much as possible

    Do you remember the words you spoke to me that day about how thrilling gambling is? So what now? In this moment, still feeling thrilled?
