<SnoopJ> if there is something actually-useful it could do I could rig that up but as-is it's days since epoch (12 March)
<SnoopJ> (ET)
<raptop> ah
<SnoopJ> wait, it's just the pseudo-March date
<SnoopJ> it does actually compute from that epoch but then I add the day back on

<raptop> SnoopJ: re: https://twitter.com/Asher_Wolf/status/1466745673789763586 I'm extra confused since I thought the company that was making that model was Estonian
<raptop> Also, given the news about the omicron variant, I guess anime is banned?
<SnoopJ> OH: "someone pointed out omicron and omega were o-micron and o-mega, and I broke today"
* raptop stares at οΟωΩ
<SnoopJ> ΩωΩ what's this
<raptop> Or if we're a hellenistic group running some egyptian themed mystery cult: "θωθ, what's this?"
* raptop pokes past raptop in where they stored files

<SnoopJ> confirmed
<SnoopJ> airport with model spacecraft: important
<SnoopJ> proximity to UMBC also convenient >_>
* raptop still finds it wild how buses seemed to avoid UMKC, and there's no subway stop within ~100 kt of GMU
<raptop> Ah, part of it was that I used a surface explosion. An airburst gets things down to 30 kt
<raptop> Then again, 1 psi radius, so eh

<SnoopJ> that game looked interesting but also literally work so no thank you
<raptop> heh
<raptop> The Zachtronics game problem?
