Fantasy writers and RPG developers around the world are probably slapping themselves for not coming up with the concept of “ice volcanoes” first.
To be fair, at least Xeni put a time zone in. Now, I just have to figure out how many time zones away I am: “Are they on DST?, Is my time zone on DST?, Crap, I have to look it up in Wikipedia…”, etc.),
So often, I’ll see an article somewhere (I’m looking at you, The Intercept) with “Today, at 4:31 AM”. My time zone? The Greenwald’s home time zone? Or where the story is based? Pierre Omidyar’s time zone? Grrrr!
On the Internet, it’s UTC. Nothing else will do.
Wait, Cassini’s still up there flying around? I thought they retired it last summer…
Maybe they #rekt something else… They smashed MESSENGER into Mercury a month or two ago, right? Or am I misremembering that too?
