That's going to be way worse. I can get down with no timezones, but if we replace time zones with date zones you'll end up with two locations where the same instant of time is either March 2nd at 3am or March 1st at 3am. There really just isn't an easy way to handle time that works for all weird geographies and also makes it easy to schedule things across an ocean. But also, fuck daylight savings, that's a totally unnecessary way of making it all worse than it needs to be.

I once worked at a place that had a test environment that used the prod databases. After I left, I heard about an intern who left a where clause off of a SQL query and rewrote an entire production table from the test environment.

Yeah, who needs robust fail-safes when you've got a warehouse full of guillotines ready to go.

So sorry, looks like the correct answer for this morning was "pardon Pete Rose and try to strongarm the MLB Hall of Fame into inducting him". I'm sure that will change by lunch though.

I actually do agree that it's weird. But dude, it's not fucking Nazi level. Don't downplay the level of shit those guys were up to.

Well we have respect for them, it's fine if they don't reciprocate.

It's just what they do in the NHL. Any time a US and Canadian team play each other, they play both anthems. You know, out of the mutual respect we felt for each other until about two days ago.

to use all available tools and resources to combat the spread of domestic terrorism

I believe there was a gathering a couple years ago that quite proudly proclaimed "We are all domestic terrorists", maybe we should start there.

First time I encountered one was in the Helsinki airport at like 5am. I definitely stared at it for a solid 30 seconds trying to figure out what to do with it. And I may have just wiped my hands on my pants and walked away in the end.

Hopefully she also gives us courage to do the same.

This is (some of) the language of the current amendment, the difference being the replacing of "once" with "twice" as the last word. The idea is that if you're VP and are elevated to be President, it counts as one of your two possible terms if you serve more than half of the term you took over during. Basically, this kiss ass waste of space just copy/pasted the existing amendment and incremented every number in it.

Yeah, this is what they worked out behind closed doors so they can keep getting elected in their states.
