The article is from yesterday, so tommorow is today.
- Yesterday you said tomorrow
- When will then become now?
  
  1.3ms sooner than we expected
  
  Soon.
- Wait, I'm in Australia, does that mean I missed out already on the second point thirty thing?
  
  Didn't happen in Australia. There's way too many spiders and brown snakes.
- And today is yesterday.... you heard me.
I'm going to leave work 1.3ms early
- Pft. Rookie numbers. I've been leaving work 1-4 hours early as meetings allow.
though the biggest factor is that the Moon is moving away from the Earth (who can blame it)
- Just to avoid confusion for others that havent read the article. That's the reason the rotation has been slowing down for quite some time.
  The reason it's spinning faster now is speculation for now and might be because of a shift in the earth's core, melting ice, earthquakes or some other causes.
Predicted but not explained, what?
And yeah, moon farthest away, thought so.
Are we going to fall off?
- Not unless you're at the front.
  
  Phew
- I wonder if you could tell by measuring g today
  
  Yes. Yes, you could.
Pretty sure I won’t notice, but I appreciate the cool photo
