•  Some of us had to work over one of the original TDRSS once. I had everybody take the part of the tower climbing class regarding dropping stuff. Part of it was to never pull a socket off the head with the wrench, but always by pulling the socket. Good idea when it can cost you a busted skull or piece of equipment that would take ten dollars a month from your paycheck for 1.3 million years.

• UK is +5 since Sunday, by the way. I know we tend to get thrown by GMT/UTC etc, when the clocks move back and forth

  Which E?
  
  Eastern Daylight Time is always GMT-4.  It's just that it's not followed in most of the region for a bit less than half the year.

  I thought GMT was always constant (same as UTC)?

  Absolutely! What Chris was alluding to was that the UK switched to British Summer Time (BST) on Sunday (which is +1 hour on GMT/UTC), so here we are back to +5 hours on US Eastern Time once more.

• This is a big thread, so we'll start a new one for rollout tonight, which will be pre-empted by a rollout article.

  Apologies for the appalling post.  What I meant was as others have described more accurately with a better choice of words.  In the UK we are 5 hours ahead of Eastern time for most of the year, but during the last month it has been 4.
