    That is about as simplistic as a model as I can possibly give… now imagine the logistics of that bullshit when dealing with multiple time zones and actual transit times lol.

    You can lament the fact that you’re trying to be kind and figure out a good time for a call in such a situation when there’s NEVER going to be a good one anyway.

    With this, it takes out EVERY extra timezone calculation for shipping, receiving, internet clocks, code regarding time difference variables. SO MUCH.

      code regarding time difference variables

      Ugh, I HATE the pointless code required by the stupid time locales, DST, and how many languages force you to play along with it all when all you really wanted was an emulated hardware RTC so you could schedule a task to run 10 minutes from now.
