There's some significance to this date/time. Relating to an Aljernaan message, Domestic Church pointed out earlier that Thursday, at "the dinner hour," is the anniversary of the atomic strike on Hiroshima (8/5/1945).

Relating to an Aljernaan message, Domestic Church pointed out earlier that Thursday, at "the dinner hour," is the anniversary of the atomic strike on Hiroshima (8/5/1945).If my calculations are correct the exact time of the anniversary of the Hiroshima detonation would 4:16:08 P.M. Pacific time. Perhaps I should update my countdown timer to reflect this.
