    Radio clock with wrong time the second Sunday

    I wonder if the radio time signal is the one that the old electric meters use, that is supposedly going to be turned off at some point.

    Slow pages

    I'm okay moving between pages once the site has loaded to let me in, but putting a smiley/rating, or looking at my list of alerts, or making an edit is painfully slow.
