Slight overlap there, as I moved the posting time from 1pm to midday.

(I'll try and fix that for the next time the clocks change)

Ah, so are you now posting as the same local time for you throughout the year, rather than the same UTC time?

andrewducker March 30 2016, 22:00:12 UTC

It is posting on UTC. I had to do a manual adjustment to get it to post at midday.

Hopefully, by the time the clocks go back again I'll have fixed that.

Ah you've confused me now...

The script wants to post at the same UTC time all year round, but this time you've tweaked it manually so that for people in the UK*, it's staying at the same local time? And in 6 months' time you hope to have it adjust itself every times the clocks change?

* And everywhere else where the DST change happens on the same day. Which might not be everywhere. For a time when I was a kid there was a 2 week period in the autumn when France and the UK were on the same time, because they changed DST two weeks apart.

Not only have they not hijacked a plane to see their girlfriends, they've also not spent 20 years inside an Egyptian jail to prove their long-term commitment!

They hardly care at all!

I hope we get the prove she said yes guidelines in Canada. A lot of the girls I grew up with were raped and at the time we didn't understand that was what it was. Being coerced into sex was 'normal'.

With my kids I've talked about enthusiastic consent. "Okay, I guess so?" is not a real yes. It's scary to think that my boy could be accused of rape for acting in a way that was considered normal just 25 years ago.

I'm glad that you're talking to them, and I hope it makes a difference.
