You mean EDT, don't you? EDT is GMT -4, EST is GMT -5. Don't get me started with the UCT thing. I'm too old for that shit, it was GMT for most of my life. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

How 'bout we just start referring to ALL time in ZULU/GMT. That'll confuse the shit out of just about everyone here...  When my bro was deployed to Afshitistan, he said everyone synced their watches to GMT and that's the time they went on. I say we adopt that principal...

|  Beautiful clear sky. Winds lower than yesterday. Go, baby, go! (Even though it's fucking Arabsat. https://beoutq.tv/ "This is the story of beoutQ & Arabsat - the Saudi Arabian-backed pirates of world sport and entertainment. World sport and entertainment are being stolen by Saudi Arabia. In what initially had its roots in a regional dispute between Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the beoutQ piracy has now become one of the greatest threats to the future of the sports and entertainment industry. This website traces the story of beoutQ, the Saudi Arabia-based pirate TV channel and Arabsat, the Riyadh-headquartered satellite provider. Together, this pirate channel and satellite provider are carrying out – almost on a daily basis – the most widespread piracy operation that the world has ever seen, principally targeting the global broadcaster beIN SPORTS for political purposes (beIN’s headquarters are in Qatar), but in-so-doing stealing the intellectual property of rights holders and other broadcasters across the world....").

The guy behind the guy
| This is simply amazing. I don’t think this is getting the massive attention it should. Such an amazing accomplishment to reland them. |
