I just got invited to a meeting for a time zone that doesn’t exist this time of year. In the US EST does not stand for Eastern time, it stands for Eastern Standard Time (~November-~March), EST is not an active time zone, it is EDT Eastern Daylight Time. Its a pointless thing, most people probably don’t notice, but its wrong.

Fake internet points to anyone who knows why DB-9 bothers me.

Edit: corrected a missing n in an eastern

    There’s a place by me called Ranch Pizza and they do not have ranch pizzas. They have pizzas. They have ranch. They do not have pizza with a ranch base however.

        I feel like if you’re calling yourself Ranch Pizza, you’re beholden to having it on the menu. They aren’t called Ranch and Pizza after all.

          Its a ranch, they have pizza. Sounds appropriate. I would expect a “ranch pizza” on the menu to be a house special, not ranch flavor.

                I mean maybe Bill Microsoft and Thomas Nintendo’s good buddy John Ranch started the place idk, but even then it would irk me on a deeply spiritual level.
