<raptop> That looks entirely too much like a glider
<SnoopJ> I did a double-take
<e_14159_> raptop: Well, I did manage to get some writing done in between refreshing the Guardian liveblog every two minutes
<raptop> hah
<WeylandsWings> e_14159_: was it just “this whole situation is fucked up beyond all belief and can’t stop watching this train wreck” over and over again
<e_14159_> WeylandsWings: It also included reminders that this is yet another thing that's been unthinkable a few months back. Maybe weeks.
<SnoopJ> starting to get the sense that the people who ran on tearing up the floorboards of governance maybe aren't fond of our system

<e_14159_> Black humour: It doesn't help anymore, either.

<egg>
<egg>
<egg> INFORMATION ON UTC - TAI
<egg>
<egg>
<egg> NO leap second will be introduced at the end of June 2021.
<egg> The difference between Coordinated Universal Time UTC and the
<egg> International Atomic Time TAI is :
<egg>
<egg> from 2017 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = -37 s
<egg>
<egg> Leap seconds can be introduced in UTC at the end of the months of December
<egg> or June, depending on the evolution of UT1-TAI. Bulletin C is mailed every
<egg> six months, either to announce a time step in UTC, or to confirm that there
<egg> will be no time step at the next possible date.

<raptop> Of course they don't define the acronym >_<
<raptop> Proposal: LaTeX linter that checks for undefined acronyms
