Blame it on the moon!

And with all this "renewables" malarkey for our power generation, it
can only get worse as we tap yet further into the Earth's angular

Time is an illusion, yet something that we indirectly measure.


More seriously, I wonder how many programmers (correctly) consider
leap years and leap seconds in their calculations?...

Cheers,
