Gf: "Why are you such a typist"

Me: "I promise not to buy more keyboards with blue switches..."

Gf: "No, I mean like being racist or sexist, but you discriminate types"

Me: "Uhhh"

Gf: "You are always bitching about how awful date/time types are, with timezones, leap seconds and daylight savings"

Me: Face turns pale, thousand yard stare, vietnam-flashback to when I was writing a calendar scheduling/meeting/matching tool which used 3 databases, with timestamps in different formats, and web frontends for people in offices around the world.

Me, with a soft broken voice: "So?"

Gf: "You've been working on that palette tool this week, and you keep talking about how interesting all these colorspaces, white balances and conversion formulas are"

Me: 🤔

    Well the whole notion of time is a weird and stupid thing made for farmers in a time when there was no electricity. If only there was some way to adjust the speed earth spins so we can have a few extra hours each day..

    @spacem Or harvest all the planets for materials, build a dyson sphere around the sun, have continuous light, and use a microsecond timestamp with the start of the universe as epoch.

    Then all we have to worry about are relativistic time dilation effects around black holes.

    Try working with Google Apps Script.
    They use a bugged version of old ECMAScript and don't support 60% of all Date object methods.

    The hacks you need to to are unreal!

    I will never show anyone the shit I had to write in order to make one of the apps work.
