For those how are very impatient a quotation from Jerome K.Jerome“Three Men in a Boat
“...It took us half an hour's hard labour, after that, before it was properly up, and then we cleared the decks, and got out supper. We put the kettle on to boil, up in the nose of the boat, and went down to the stern and pretended to take no notice of it, but set to work to get the other things out.
That is the only way to get a kettle to boil up the river. If it sees that you are waiting for it and are anxious, it will never even sing. You have to go away and begin your meal, as if you were not going to have any tea at all. You must not even look round at it.
Then you will soon hear it sputtering away, mad to be made into tea.
It is a good plan, too, if you are in a great hurry, to talk very loudly to each other about how you don't need any tea, and are not going to have any. You get near the kettle, so that it can overhear you, and then you shout out, "I don't want any tea; do you, George?" to which George shouts back, "Oh, no, I don't like tea; we'll have lemonade instead - tea's so indigestible." Upon which the kettle boils over, and puts the stove out.
We adopted this harmless bit of trickery, and the result was that, by the time everything else was ready, the tea was waiting. Then we lit the lantern, and squatted down to supper...”

They obviously confused midnight with noon. Noon is soon...
I am so glad the store isn't out yet. It gives us all a lot of time to really enjoy the way things have always been. Let's face it gentlemen and ladies (my apologies)... The backers app suits us all just fine!
Indeed.
This gave me a great idea. I'll go stare at the kettle and wait for it to boil while we wait for the new store to open in the next few minutes...
Sounds like a somewhat fair deal as i had my fresh coffee already
*hands out fresh coffee for everyone here in the thread*
Backer's app is now closed.
Not really, I can still login
Nope still there
Can't you do ctrl+F5 to delete the cache? Something like that
At the time I was logging in and out and going to the upgrade my pledge part. Anyway unimportant now as we are seemingly in purgatory for at least the next few days.This is what a lot of us are getting. Try refreshing or log out.
The Gregorian format date refers to a 12 month year, it's only in the U.S.A. (I believe) and some parts of Canada (unfortunately) that it's expressed as a mixed-endian format, i.e. m-d-y.
And even in Canada the official (according the the Government websites) date formats are d-m-y and y-m-d
Afternoon tea? But thats the only thing powering the improbability drive of their anaconda...Take that away and they can't get anywhere!!
