You know you're pronouncing egg wrong when you have to spell it some other way.

Pretty sure the person in a straitjacket shouldn't be complaining about tied hands.

That's a sad statement to make about a few hundred million voters.

But....it also perfectly aligns with their history.

Last time they de-throned a fascist who threatened global peace and stability it required the ill-judged intervention of a 3rd party...who ironically thought crippling the US Pacific Fleet would do the opposite.

I'd vote for a mountain over a fascist every day of the week. And twice on Sundays.

So many things would be fucked by a TZ change that it very rarely makes sense to consider it.

You're making a calendar app? Fuck it...some folks are gonna get confused...solved by simply emailing your users and telling them to reschedule shit because there's kind of a big event going on that everyone knows about and has been planning for for years. Hell in all liklihood this is probably easily solved by simply doing a mass migration of events scheduled before the TZ change.

You're coding for nuclear weapons? Maybe consider it. But probably not.

That is to say: there are ways to solve problems without resorting to writing the most complicated bullshit code ever seen. Unless of course you work on my team - in which case you'd be right at home.

Maybe they're planning on dying before then? In which case they're fine.

Your comment is a full throated endorsement of just working in UTC up until the presentation layer. Whether you intended that or not is another question.

There are no gay people in Russia.

Looks like night in the meme?

Pretty sure our right wing is left of your left wing. So no you can't have it because you don't have a system that supports anything other than the right-wing hellscape you got now.

Exactly how heavy is the accent? And are we talking parisian or quebecois?
