I play guitar, watch USMLR and NHL, occasionally brew beer, enjoy live music and travel, and practice sarcasm.

  • Sunrise at 06:00 UTC in one timezone would occur at 03:00 UTC three timezones over

    Right, but I wouldn’t want to keep my daily routine aligned to a different time zone than where I am.

    So if you’re travelling or even communicating across timezones, you haven’t fixed anything by using UTC since daily activities (sleep, meals, etc.) are still correlated to when the sun is up or not

    Exactly. So why would I want to adjust my alarm to 3am after travelling 3 time zones? I only care about relating the time between two zones for real-time communication with people in the other zone. And I’m not getting up at 3am for them.






  • No, dude. Redlining is about banks not lending to people in a discriminatory fashion. The first sentence in your link:

    Redlining is a discriminatory practice in which financial services are withheld from neighborhoods that have significant numbers of racial and ethnic minorities.

    I quoted a line specifically about the home owner (a person, not a bank or a coporation) having a specific buyer in mind. Not at all the same thing. Even if the owner lists it publicly, the owner still decides to whom they sell the property. Otherwise you would have property-holding companies out there suing to force the sale to them as the highest cash bidder. Forcing a public MLS listing is regulatory capture forcing buyers and sellers to pay a commission to a middle-man when there didn’t need to be one.

    HOAs can fuck off and so can you.
