Ubuntu installation stuck on selecting time zone #2404 #timezone
Time Zone SQL that works perfectly but just feels wrong
if (!empty($timezonenumber) and $dst == '1') { runsql("SET time_zone = substr(addtime('$timezonenumber','10000'),-9,6)"); }; #MariaDB #TimeZone #SavingTime
@Heliograph Thanks for posting that; I feel better about some literary choices. When I wrote my Mars novel I decided to use a single universal time for the entire planet. People can't live on the surface and most development is underground for radiation reasons. No windows. Some population is on spaceships or a station. One zone gives the same diurnal schedule to everyone everywhere. When they rarely need to use the surface, they use offset and solar terms, "like local dusk is just before lunch."
oh wow 
i was today's years old when I learnt that China only has one #timezone

Perl is not my favourite language, but I admit that its #regex syntax did a tonne of good for #programming.
We need a similar boost to the #bit twiddling syntax. I like the sensibility of C and Erlang bit-manipulation syntax.
Also, we geeks need to agree on how we clean up that politically induced mess that is the #timezone.

TIMEZONE CALCULATOR
WHAT TIME IS EVENT IN WHAT TIMEZONE? 
(#Answer below)
Please add a #Timezone #Clock
for events so people can convert easily and don't miss the event - It does the work for people.
Time zones conversion sites I recommend...
Example 1 for 6pm ET Event
https://dateful.com/convert/eastern-time-et
Example 2
https://www.timebie.com/std/eastern.php
6pm USA ET April 3rd
= 
1pm (Central European Time) ...if I'm not wrong...
I'd use example link 1

Will the world please read #ISO8601 or its #Wikipedia summary and adopt the following basic #DateAndTime format, with its variations for support of #TimeZone if required?:

Standards, people. They exist. I know it doesn't cover non-Gregorian calendars, but I'm willing to puzzle out AH or others as a special case.
Cheers to all who, like me, are suffering from the luddite nonsense that is #daylightsavingstime in their #timezone

"Putting people in racist categories
Knowledge isn't what it used to be
Military tactics to control a nation
Who wants to be a president or king? Me!
Mother Nature is gonna work against you
Nothing in your power that you can do
Yes, the world is headed for destruction
You and I know it, the Bible tells you
If we don't start to look for a better life
The world will be destroyed in a time zone!"

If the earth was flat, there wouldn't be any time zone differences, and scheduling online gaming sessions with my friends abroad wouldn't be so headachey.
Damn you Earth, why must you be round???
Ooh, Ireland might get our own timezone! It will be UTC+0, right?
Right?
