Russia’s space chief is “very unhappy” with “hostile” US policy​


thread today and noticed the time stamps were wrong. It was 13:35(ish) PST but the most recent posts were time stamped something like "Today at 2:45 PM", that is, in my future. Figured it was just a time zone issue, but later, after logging in and making a post on that thread I noticed that those time stamps had changed, so that they were now showing times like "Today at 1:46 PM". That is still in the future from when I logged in, but now in my past as it is now 14:03. Even stranger, my post shows "16 minutes ago" and the post before it shows "Today at 1:54 PM". The math does not add up.

Why would the time stamp change time? Why are they inconsistent?
