Exactly. If you are part of a group making financial transactions, that group needs to decide on a canonical time source. And yes, it's relation to the rest of the world is irrelevant to the transactions.
In any event, all time sources are wrong to some degree. If you're using NTP over the internet, you will perhaps keep the error below a tenth of a second. A directly attached GPS clock will keep it closer but the error will remain non-zero.
That's actually fairly close to the do-nothing approach used by default. When you run ntpd, it periodically checks th time and used adjtime, adjtimex or some equivalent to slew the clock as needed to get back in step. It does nothing special with the leap second flag since the system clock has no way to handle it anyway. After the leap second, the NTP client notices that the system clock is 1 second fast and so slews it back one second.
The clock slew is done by slowing the clock just a bit so it continues to provide monotonic time (it will never provide timestamps out of order) and comes into sync over the next few minutes.
The defacto non-solution does much the same thing to the system clock after the leap second in order to correct for suddenly being 1 second fast but maintain monotonic time. That is, adjtime (or adjtimex) gets called to slew the clock.
In many cases, the defacto non-handling is the right thing to do. Although it compresses events very slightly, it maintains causality in the system logs and such.
Handling your own timekeeping doesn't necessarily mean having your own atomic clock. In this context, it means deciding on who has the canonical clock and syncing with it.
Google is explicitly saying they are not serving UTC, so if your trading partners are on UTC, you're an idiot if you sync to Google.
In this case, in a proper study Alzheimer's had no business being mentioned at all. The only tenuous connection was that they share a common region of the brain affected. (here's the obligatory car analogy) That's like going out in the morning and finding a flat tire so you tell everyone you lost a wheel on the way to work (so they picture a highway drama involving a risk to life and limb).
The test group were diagnosed with "Cannabis use disorder". That is, not just average users, these patients were hard-core users who already were known to have problems thought to be related and refuse to cut back on use. It is thought that most people with that diagnosis had mental health issues before starting marijuana use. It would be interesting to see how their scans change if any of them can be convinced to reduce their use to more casual levels.
It would also be interesting to know how many (if any in the control group) were casual or occasional users. All we know from the freely available information is that they were not diagnosed with cannabis use disorder, meaning they might be non-users, casual users or even heavy users with no problems thought to be related to use.
As for legalization vs. recommendation, alcohol is perfectly legal and I think that's right and proper. Nevertheless, I don't think beer for breakfast is a good idea at all.
But you shouldn't be hungry when your meal ends. Some people are if they diet sufficiently to actually lose weight. Perhaps worse, perhaps they are OK at the time but 2 hours later they're hungry again. That's when the junk food tends to come in.
Yes, some people are just doing it wrong. Others will inevitably feel tired and hungry if they reduce their total caloric level to the point that they will actually lose any weight at all.
True enough, some people are overweight because they are in some other way not able to meet their psychological needs and are over-using the inbuilt rewards of eating to compensate.
If that is true for most or even many, we have to ask what we plan to do about a society that creates such a condition for 2/3 of the population.
Actually, breathing is only semi autonomous and some people are able to control it well enough to freedive for pearls (and others can't).
It is apparent you are one of those people desperately clinging to whatever group you can freely look down upon in order to bolster a fragile self image. In years past you would have been an open racist but that is closed to you now. The last thing you can afford is to let science get in your way.
BTW, I eat one meal a day and I can probably blow you away in the 50.
Some people have a more powerful drive to eat than others. Much like traditional pearl divers have a more easily controlled drive to breath (they also tend to die prematurely even if they don't drown).
My suggestion wasn't hold your breath for 24 hours, it was breath less for 24 hours. That's because people who are overweight cannot just fast for the rest of their lives (or they will die young) They have the more difficult task of eating less for the rest of their lives. That is, never again knowing the sensation of satiety. The breathing drive is stronger but I only asked for 24 hours.
Actually, in a study of nuclear medicine technicians, it was fould that their mortality rate was slightly lower than others in healthcare who didn't get the exposure. It seems there's a sweet spot for radiation exposure and background radiation in many places is just a bit below it.
So, what you're saying is that if they would just defy an inbuilt biological drive more powerful than reproduction and just below breathing for the rest of their existence without a single slip-up, they'd be fine?
Did you know we actually breath more than necessary? Try this. Inhale slowly and deliberately. But just half as deeply as normal. Now exhale. Continue like that for the next 24 hours. Ideally, you should feel just the slightest bit woozy. I'm going to say the woozy feeling will pass because people who give unsolicited advice like to say things like that, but really, it won't. Be careful not to let your attention wander, you wouldn't want to have a slip-up! People will call you horrible names relentlessly if you slip up!
Now hop to it you worthless slovenly spineless air-hog! My aesthetic sense must be appeased!
As for Sun, had they legally threatened the Sun-Times, Sun Maid, or the many others using the name Sun somehow, they would have been in for a world of legal hurt. But they had the sense not to do that. They also had the sense to use the name of place that had no inhabitants.
Sure, if you go back. But since you're presumably planning to boycott anyway, so what?
That presumes they actually have any idea who you are in the first place. They don't, and if you're smart you'll just walk out when they confront you (perhaps go whirl at another store).
It worked OK in the '50s and '60s. The 8 hour day and the 5 day week was a thing for decades. So was closing on every Sunday and major holiday. That was right here in the U.S.
You are missing a balanced society where people actually have a family that they spend time with.
The sad/funny thing is that the very places that count on Thanksgiving to signal the start of Christmas shopping are the ones working so hard to turn it into just another Thursday. I wonder what they plan to do once they accomplish that? Perhaps they'll invade Christmas and totally kill the season that makes them so much money (and the society that surrounds them).

Interesting, the discrimination accuracy was shown as 96%. Given the makeup of the group, I could score 90% just by saying everyone is a pot smoker.

Finally, here.
Please be a bit more careful where you throw that bullcrap. And WASH YOUR HANDS!
Sure, but the typical breathing pattern is such that the exhaled breath is still breathable air. That's why mouth to mouth resuscitation can work.

Yes, anyone can freely choose to feel tired and hungry all the time or to eat and be overweight but feel fine.

Make your heart beat to shave and a haircut!

There are still a few plutonium powered pacemakers out there. No disasters happened and they don't even have their batteries encased in diamond.

What they would really love is being able to make a decent living on 40 hours a week so they can actually spend time with their family.
It isn't trespassing if you leave when asked to.
