Reload your page. There is no maintenance, RayWiki works fine.

OK, firstly RayWiki is working just fine and secondly, even if it was down then it was just briefly, it's no big deal.

what the heck? what even caused that to happen?
sorry for the unnecessary post— at the time when i wrote that reloading wasn’t actually doing anything to help
now i’m getting internal errors whenever i try to go to another page. i’d report it on the raywiki home page, but oh wow look at that i can’t because i’m stuck on recent edits

The page might not have loaded fully.

It's working fine for me, but even if Hunch was doing maintenance at some stage, it's only going to make it better.

I still suck at being a substitute teacher, Day 2. Stay tuned for more at 8PM.

Fair play to you for doing it though. I'd probably pull my hair out (if it wasn't already too short) trying to manage a full class of kids

Yeah, same. I imagine how hard it is to manage like 20-30 students at once.

Haha, are you finding it hard to control the little monsters?

Are you still experiencing issues? I might have been working on some features that day but I ended up not changing anything for now.

Good luck! It might be hard, but just gotta tough it out.

So it's conceivable that that abolition of DST may come into effect only in Europe, i.e. not in Brexitanny, so during the summer months there'll be a different timezone here north and south of the border.

That's really unusual. England being different is one thing, but Northern Ireland being an hour ahead of us is completely backwards
I can imagine some smart ass kid being told it's late, then crossing the border and saying "no it's not"

Apparently during the Rising, England was 25 minutes ahead of us, and that's when they actually brought in DST. So clocks went forward on both islands, but were still 25 minutes apart. Then when things calmed down, they also put through the legislation to actually bring the two into line.

That's really interesting. It's so weird to think about it being such an odd time like 25 minutes. You'd be on a boat and do something stupid, then someone would bring it up and you'd be like "will you forget about that, that was 25 minutes ago" or now it will be "I asked you to do that an hour ago"
EDIT: I already done that in an hour
EDIT 2: Speaking of which, the clocks went back tonight.

Well I'm pretty sure that about a century ago, all train stations had their own time zone which must have been a lot more confusing.

Well, what we were just talking about was that Dublin was 25 minutes behind London in 1916, although I'm not sure whether that was a city-wide or island-wide thing…

Either way it's pretty weird. But then I suppose back then with the lack of technology and clearly no internet, that it wasn't easy to get all the time in sync either considering It was 102 years ago.
Train stations having different time zones also? Those "times" must have been confusing

And of course I'm pretty sure there were the people who resented the imposition of standard timezones, and kept trying to use local time. Kinda like the guy I work with who resents the fact that it's the EU who are spearheading this potential DST abolition: "I'll put my clock forward and back whenever I feel like it!"

But then he'll just show up an hour early for work and probably get fired for leaving an hour early

I should say that it seems I might have English blood in me slightly. So I guess I could have citizenship in the UK one day. (Great Grandfather) My mom's cousin is sending her the official papers.
