How can you be logged in for 290 days, but not have been logged in for any minutes or any hours?

[Swatopluk]

Depends on which wheel you turn

[Griffin NoName]

Like a mouse wheel, or a hamster's?

[Swatopluk]

the treadmill of the celestial Siberian hamster

300 days
Just 65 and a quarter days to a full year

[Griffin NoName]

What's with the quarter?

[Swatopluk]

One year: 365.2425 days = 365d, 5h, 49m, 12s

[Griffin NoName]

Oh. I naively thought just 365 days. I suppose there's nothing special about midnight.

[Swatopluk]

Well there is but calendarian and astronomical time are not always (actually never) in full accord.
There are true noon and midnight.
It's only a matter of time until days and years will synchronize for some time but we won't see it because it will take some time beyond our life expectancy.
