Time changes?

[Jada59]

This is getting weirder. I submitted three stories, each on different days. The first one was published in less than 24 hours.

The next story was submitted (Sat.?) less than 24 hours after the first one. It has a "New" icon. No "Pending" icon but at the top of the screen it says I have two Pending stories. No time listed for this story now. But there was a time yesterday. Now just days 2/24/2019.

The last one was submitted on Sun. I believe. It has the "Pending" icon. Yesterday it said 19 hours. But then a few hours later, it said 9 hours. Now it says 14 hours. No date.

What in the what?

It is simple. Quit. Checking. So. Friggin. Often.

Once every 24 hours is more than enough. Let the servers have a little time to breath.

Aw... But I have no patience!

 

[ttvttp]

You could try driving in Seattle traffic and then you couldn't help but find patience or the car horn.

 

[Hypoxia]

Aw... But I have no patience!

I've had many patients. Some survived.But I digress.

Patience is the greatest virtue a LIT author can possess. The alternative is madness, which is useful in its own way, but doesn't pass the time any faster.

A good way to learn patience: Walk a house-cat on a leash. Go ahead, try. Hint: Chihuahua harness.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

I submitted a story on the the 22nd, it's still pending.

Maybe there's a work slowdown at the Lit. offices.

I wouldn't blame them. I hear Laurel is a slave driver.

Another hint, do it with snow on the ground. They slide easier.

Ya can't count Sindays, uh, Sundays. I think Laurel takes that day off and relies on roll over from Saturday.

In Laurel's case, I believe she is the slave and the slave driver.

A self-driving slave, hey? Sounds like a corporate future.

I used to have a cat, a big red Persian named Tiger, who didn't need a leash. He just trotted along beside me.

Jinxy. I have. Just got back from Everett and that was no picnic! Also lived in NY and CA. Am used to bad traffic!

I did think that about Sunday but I believe my one story was published on Sun. I could be wrong though.

I've seen cats like that. Never had one though.

I saw an article in the NYT today about how the accepted rate of the expansion of the universe is acting up...this could be more serious than anyone thought I'm going to hold off on all new submissions until this is resolved! Here's the headline:

Have Dark Forces Been Messing With the Cosmos?

Axions? Phantom energy? Astrophysicists scramble to patch a hole in the universe, rewriting cosmic history in the process.

What? That's just fodder for Geek Pride Day. Publish on!

time and existence

An astronomer giving a public talk mentioned that the universe would likely implode in eight billion years. An alarmed audience member stood and anxiously asked, "How long?"

"Eight billion years," the astronomer repeated.

"Whew," sighed the relieved questioner, "I thought you said eight MILLION years!"

Oh yeah, make jokes...I've been digging a shelter under the house all day. And no, it's not big enough to share. I'm watching an interview on Alt News.scam right now and it doesn't look too promising unless you buy some supplies in their super-high-quality baggies for survival.

Stock up on Twinkies. They never go bad.

 

[Hypoxia]

Stock up on Twinkies. They never go bad.

But does immortality make them geekfood? I think not. That honor falls to:

Darth Vader Pizza
LOST Bento Box
Iphone Cupcakes
Star Wars Wedding Cake
Vader Toast
Nintendo Toast
Watermelon Deathstar
Mario Bros Mushroom
Star Wars AT-AT Made of Bacon
Star Trek Waffles
Harry Potter Bento Box
Cheese2D2
Stormtrooper Bento Box
Spongebob Sandwich
Yoda Pizza - Cheesy am I. Olive me. The fucking parmesan pass.​

Twinkies? Mushy-phallic. Just like [political name redacted].

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Stock up on Twinkies. They never go bad.

Or Moon Pies, they last forever.

But, the real question is; Do they ever go good?

Or Moon Pies, they last forever.

I fear you're not taking the end of the Universe seriously enough...obvioulsy anything to do with the Moon will probably be ruined at best...disintegrated at worst. No, too risky. Better to eat bad Twinkies than starve (that's in Proverbs somewhere)

No, no, no. All too closely linked to the Cosmos to put any trust in. I'm thinking TxRad has the best answer here...but you also get a mention for bringing out the multi-purpose aspect of said unknown mixture called Twinkie. Probably be a rush on them down at the Dollar-Fifty store now...I'll be back later

Please come visit me in D.C. (the other Washington) and teach me your wisdom. I swear I am going to go Postal one day soon. Say, is going Postal even a thing anymore?

Anyway I’m gritting my teeth just thinking about the traffic situation out here.

Ehhh it’s all just a sandbox in Linus’ basement server farm. When we finally come around to actually accepting that, he’ll reboot it and we’ll all just be random electrons again.

Don’t worry, and keep your towel handy!

Time is what happens when we aren't paying attention. I read that somewhere.

I'm all for 6-D spacetime, with the three spacial axes x, y, and z, and the three temporal axes tee, tau, and teh. They should be fun to loop and twist around.

Do they all run in the same direction? My timelines seem to run forwards and backwards at the same time and arty about the same rate. I sort of assume my characters know which timeline they're in, but it can get confusing.
