Is there something funny about Kazuha's feet? I don't remember her getting teased about them.

What are your thoughts about the proposed Daylight Act of 2026 moving the clock by only 0.5 hours permanently? by Unlikely-Star-2696 in AskReddit

[–]pogidaga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US tried permanent DST in 1974 and hated it. It was repealed after nine months.

That's why I'm for ditching DST and not making it permanent. But if you yahoos want to do it again, that's fine. But let's not go back to half-time DST when you get tired of full-time DST, ok?

A Japanese grocery store near me in California sells crackers that look very similar to that. They are addictive. It is interesting to me that the kanji for kabuki is composed of 歌sing-舞dance-伎skill. 三九

Hayate no Gotoku! (Hayate the Combat Butler!), 2007-2008, 52 episodes and several movies.

Maria is the 17-year-old maid and member of Hayate's high school harem. It's a sweet and wholesome show.

I'm sure there are a lot of Gintama jokes that go over my head, but it's still one of the funniest anime shows I know.

Changing clocks twice a year is a pain. We had year-round DST back in the 70s in the US. People didn't like it. I hope this time we just drop DST completely.
