As I recall you're living in GMT-1, so the debate will air at noon for you? If you're going to watch it live, I hereby remotely grant you exemption from any no-drinking-before-x:xx rules you may ordinarily observe.
Ha, as if drinking rules ever apply to me. We are at UTC+1, which I think with DST factored in is 2h behind GMT, but maybe -1 officially? Is that right? You'd think I'd know this by now, but I still follow EST for schedules, and I confuse myself. Anyway, we are 6h ahead of EST, so that means the debate is 2:30am. I hope to be passed out drunk by then.
There you go again, fact-checking me! [Exasperated sigh] You're no Jack Kennedy, and eastern Europe isn't under Soviet domination. Please proceed, Governor.
Did I get 'em all?
But seriously, I worked with people in many time zones for years, and go to Italy w/la Signora_Quarantanova every summer, and she talks to her relatives there all the time. You'd think I could do the math. In my defense, it was 3:00 AM here.
You're an hour ahead of GMT, daylight savings is ahead one hour, so you'd be 2 hours ahead of GMT then. You're 9 hours ahead of me. What's the future like?
I'd settle for le TGV.
<img src="http://www.supphoto.net/galerie/photos/tgv/photographie/tgv-duplex.png"> Actually I've ridden on le Frecciarossa and can tell you that trains passing each other at 300 kph is a rush, because relativistically you're going 600 kph. Your watch speeds up and everything.
Efficient and effective mass transit is a filthy socialist European thing. I can't ever see the US embracing it.
Seriously, though, yes it's pretty impressive how fast these things go. They are actually improving the tracks between Bordeaux and Paris these days. What is currently a 3 hour trip will take 2. This is great news for those of us living near Angoulême, which is on this route: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGV_Sud_Europe_Atla…
California passed an initiative to build a |high-speed rail line| between San Francisco and San Diego, and it might actually happen. Hope I live long enough to see it, and that when others see it they'll say, "Hey, this beats the crap out of screwing yourself into Seat 32B in an aluminum tube for two hours."
Serious question- if Trump doesn't prepare for the debates, how will I be able to tell?

Zulu plus one?

We have hover cars and electronic floor scrubbers. You'll probably get them in 6-9 hours or so.
