And if Alex Jones has actually read Animal Farm you can bet he didn't understand it as the author intended (as a criticism of authoritarian communism for betrayal of the ideals of socialism)

him and essentially the rest of the world. i've only seen this pointed out in lefty internet circles - the take away that most people have is "socialism bad"

Because Ukraine and Russia are the top two producers of sunflower seeds and they will no longer be the cheapest source of vegetable oil anywhere.

This is wrong. Sunflower seed oil was already undercut by canola/rapeseed oil around 20 years ago as a side effect of biofuel subsidies in most of the EU.

Using Unix time? But seriously, either throw out one of the duplicate hours or just have double stats for one hour of one night? Or embrace timecube.

Custom code or manually massaging data to account for the time difference is what it comes down to. Or just ignore it. That's part of the reason it happens in the middle of the night on a weekend, it mostly just doesn't make a difference.

Most of the underlying data uses UTC and does not care, it's just a display question.

All that aside, abolish the foolishness of daylight savings time. It's one of those little wins like getting rid of pennies.

Unix time is half of it, a time zone function with DST dates built in so that it knows you're changing a time zone at 2am DST switchover days so you're able to map Unix time to clock time, and a timeline function that similarly understands changing time zones. You'll end up with a duplicate label on your timeline but that's literally what the transition is.

Cheat mode always use UTC.

Graphs actually are the easy mode, it's pretty obvious to a human and a computer when there's 2 hours in a row that are the same label, the second one always comes after the first. If you're in a journalling or logging profession you need to make some explicit notes sometimes. For example if nothing happens during first 2am and then something happens at second 2am, you need to make it clear it's the latter.

but yeah abolish DST today. or rather, leave it on DST permanently, because i don't give a poo poo if it's dark in the morning but it sucks getting out of work after the sun has gone down.

It's pretty impressive that it took basically a century to go from being unable to coordinate time 100 miles down the road to having a universal standard that's accurate to a fraction of a second.

It's understated sometimes how a lot of modern commerce is impossible without a common understanding of time. Certificates just stop working if you can't agree on the time.
