I think I let on here that I've been having a fight with Windows over its impression of time. It keeps sliding the clock backwards on me despite a perfectly good NTP clock. But this is the first time I've seen this message.

By the way, unless you are the David Mills of W32Time, I don't think you can help me. But if you ARE, then I have some questions for you, starting with WTF?!

(Shout-out to @Vivaldi and @portsherry@threads.net.)

@CursedSilicon Lookit the size of that thing! It's bigger than my coffee mug! A /Seattle/ coffee mug, even!

It was a very nice little box and I really didn't want to give it back. There are bins at the doors to collect them.

I'm mostly mystified at them. They replaced a corrugated cardboard box that was already extremely compostable in a location where composting is highly available.

I think the boxes will become more icky as they scuff and age, but right now they're just weirdly charming.

They're stupid, but I love them.

One of #seattle's sketchiest McDonalds locations* also seems to be where they test out new technologies. They're where I first saw their touchscreen ordering and BTLE table tents.

Today, they are delivering dine-in orders in reusable plastic clamshells. They're really attractive.
