ita,
one comment has me guffawing: This isn't a hack, this is just… how to do it. Next up, a crazy trick to get toothpaste out of the tube: Squeeze it!
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

If that is the quick way, what is the slow way?
Don't convert it?
I mean, seriously, I sometimes forget what time 1800 is, but it's not like I can't do the math.
that's a pretty stupid article.

I'm sorry, Sparky. Moving is bad enough.

So sorry, Sparky.
I am going to be in trouble at work. How much is the question. My coworker and I both forgot to submit our status reports to our boss while we were off on special assignment this summer. She never asked for them again, so we stopped submitting them entirely. She emailed me today asking for all of them, back to July. Of course, my coworker was off today, and so we couldn't confer. I wrote back and said I had forgotten all about them and could try to recreate, but couldn't we just start over. She hadn't responded by the time I left, but now I am just worrying about it.
I also wish I would have waited to talk to my coworker tomorrow, who is generally less guilt-ridden and who is better in conflicts. (As is, I never want to piss her off because she is fierce like whoa.)

FWIW,
my dad was in the navy and taught me "military" time. All of my computers and phones are on military time. Drives Beau nuts.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm so sorry, Sparky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My first customising steps with anything that keeps date and time that allows--convert it to show military, switch the date to D/M/Y. Except work--I have to keep that M/D/Y otherwise I'll fuck shit up.
But, honestly--there are two ways to convert--add/subtract 12, or add/subtract 2 and pretend you did 12. THERE IS NO FAST WAY. I'm impressed that the network's dumbest article to date is on Lifehacker. I thought a little bit better of them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of hard ways and easy ways--I'm trying to convince my developer to write file copy instructions that are one step, rather than two. Log into server A, map a drive to the source drive on server B, copy the files.
Apparently that's not possible.
So I tell her it wasn't my idea, it was a developer's idea, and now she's considering it. It's moved from impossible to high risk.
She wants the person to log into server B, copy the files to a midpoint, log into server A, copy the files from the midpoint to A. This is over 50GB of data, three times. The downside to my idea seems to be that it was my idea.
One of the two of us has a computer science degree. Only one. And it doesn't even take a driver's license to work out HOW TO COPY FILES FROM B TO A.
eta: Oh, hey! She doesn't know how to share a drive in Windows. She's going to do research. Holy fucking...yeah.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Argh, I keep getting texts in Spanish. Spam, of course.
