    Good thing it updated. I was about to lose my shit

    I mean, two minutes, i get that. But THREE? Not cool

    Seriously, though. Hello Mr. Carlberg. All the best to you and yours, fellow Pac Northwesterner

    Have a lovely day,

    How could three minutes matter in a place that spends an inordinate amount of time discussing things that happened ≈ 50 years ago

    You'd think it would be at least 18 minutes on a prog site.

    It has something to do with the magnetic poles and the international date line.

    There's a clock?
    We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
    It won't be visible through the air
    And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973

    The clock ticks in 13/8, you see...and goes through five movements. And there are mellotrons involved, which accounts for the subtle pitch shift. Plus, the clockface was designed by Roger Dean—so, mountains come out of the sky and, you know, stand there....
