@Chippies Except they will switch at the same time, if they switch. Different countries will switch at different times, but within it is usually the same

Chippies

in an ideal world, we'd get rid of DST and just use UTC everywhere

or whatever universal time

@Ktash within the same country you usually don't care about your timezone

timezones only matter when you look outside of your own country

Ktash

@Chippies ... what country do you live in??

Chippies

@Ktash Canada, it has a ton of timezones and iirc they change DST at diff dates too

eh, scratch that, whole Canada seems to enter/leave DST on same date

Ktash

For example my sister is on Central, and my brother is on Mountain so if I want to talk to them, I have to consider what time it is. Plus work meetings and such

Chippies

@Ktash it only matters within the same country because NA is so damn huge

Ktash

@Chippies Yeah, for most countries that is the case. US is a bit... complicated. Especially Arizona

Chippies

imho, US states should be countries

because that's basically what they are

Q: Is "Unclear what you're asking" -flag used as a way to ask for more details?

I've been noticing in this a lot in the Close Votes -queue. It's actualy rather clear what the asker's problem is, but the community thinks (mostly justifiably) that it needs more details to properly or more easily answer the question. I'm a bit uneasy about this trend, so I have two questions: ...

Q: How can I determine what the stats of ascended armor will be?

When an armor piece is ascended, its stats are increased to match the highest level gear that is currently available. Without actually ascending the item, is there any way to tell what its final stats will be? Obviously light will be 42 - I'm not interested in the other stats on the item.

I do appreciate that college is high quality and as such it really can't be free to the extent that some people may wish. I'm also going to a private college so woo additional debt

But I still believe that long-term I made the better decision. And short term because Dayton is so fun

spugsley

I don't even care about free I guess but the fucking loan shit needs to be overhauled

it shouldn't cost over 100 grand to go to college, any college.

@spugsley Yeah, and they had this thing where you got subsidies if you finished your degree, if you didn't finish it, you had to pay back what they lent you.
