It's odd to me how China gets (rightfully) mocked so much for having the whole country share one timezone, but we don't extend the same treatment to continental Europe. Spain, France, and the Benelux countries are just blatantly in the wrong timezone.

We should really get around to managing our exposure by at least extending Eftpos to (a) have contactless, (b) work online properly, (c) interoperate in Aus and (d) mandate everyone who takes Visa and MC in NZ also accepts it, including overseas tech firms over a threshold
One of Lula’s most important and least well-known achievements is US capacity to sanction it into compliance is limited, because unlike Europe, Brazilians don’t need Visa or Mastercard to make payments.

For years I assumed changing the clocks twice a year was something basically everyone did. Turns out it isn’t. Europe, much of North America, and a handful of other countries are the exception. Most of the world just leaves the clock alone.

I don’t like wedding vows where they talk about the improbability of all this and the number of random things that had to happen for them to meet each other. The probability was 1. They met each other

Everyone is Bi. You just have to figure out if it's polar or smarck.
One of Bismarck’s trademark habits was to openly weep and wail and threaten to resign, harm or kill himself when he was not getting his way with the Kaiser. He would genuinely throw tantrums and cry and on one such occasion walked up to an open window and threatened to jump.
