   I do a lot of international Zoom calls with meditation students, and it was chaotic this morning because the clocks went forward in the US, but not in the UK and EU.

   It's actually surprising how few countries go through this ritual. The white areas in the map don't have any kind of daylight saving time.

     @paul_ipv6 I have a calendar for the Zoom events, and it automatically does the conversions. But because people are used to it being at a certain time they don't look at the calendar.

     i've had several companies and boards with international spread where we just post the time in UTC and let everyone's own calendar figure out conversion to local time.

     still screwy but a bit less error prone.

     but DST just needs to die/stop... timezones make it hard enough.
