yeah i have no idea what time that is 😆

which is ironic because ive been using a 24 hour clock my entire adult life. but the idea of adding (or subtracting?) 7 (or 8?) hours to that in my head is an impenetrable wall

I do math for a living and now I'm lost

One of my kids was a math major in college and when I teased him about being slow to add numbers in his head he told me, “mental math is a party trick and real math has letters”😂.

Pro tip: Add the UTC timezone to your clock on your phone.

what.

It is an option if you are an Apple cuck, At least.

UTC is just a fancy way of saying British time. Didn’t we fight a war to get out from under the thumb of British rule?

UTC is a way of saying the date line has to be somewhere and it happens to go through Britian but we all share the same time. Times zones are a submission to Britain because they say we all have to wake up around 0600 local everywhere in the world because that’s when the Brit’s wake up. UTC is the standard and I wake up around 1300 UTC.

I wake up at a certain block time everyday. But it’s impossible to predict when that will be.

Perfect.
