So we're not getting hand milked by 40 cows while getting figged by 3 cherubs.

YYYY-MM-DD is the only non-mental way to write either.
I was only answering your question about why programming a way to parse those common date formats is problematic.
The date is 12/11/2024. Am I talking about yesterday or a day about a month ago?
I was going to say something snarky too, but this is the only sane take here. Nothing more needs to be said.
Ok, not to many other comments, still though.
Bro, if you didn't want people to respond with genuine takes on what you post and if you're going to be so defensive, why are you even here?
Also, I'm not defending anything. DST should be the standard time because we spend most of the year in it anyway. But that's just my own opinion, which I feel no need to defend to you or anyone else.
You're so wound up about making your point and defending your point of view that you're not actually comprehending my comments. It's your map in the sense that you are presenting it to us, who authored it isn't really relevant to this discussion.
Just pointing out the ridiculousness of getting petty and insulting about the way other people define time scales because you don't agree. There is no objective truth here, just subjective opinions. ALL of those opinions and methods have flaws, especially your beloved "everyone should just use UTC". There is no such thing as "correct" here, so putting that word in your map's title and using "right" and "wrong" in this discussion is just naive.
We spend most of our year in daylight savings time. Standard time is the pretendy-magic-time.
This map really brings home how awful this projection is for this map's purpose and how awful most projections really are near the poles. Greenland isn't that big. I know this map is Plate Carree, not Mercator, but the size issue of an equirectangular projection is really similar when comparing longitude and size for the entire globe from pole to equator. 15 degrees of longitude for a timezone stops making sense that close to the poles. Greenland would mostly fit in the central time zone of the United States for example. Given its sparse population, dividing it up into 3 timezones seems unnecessary.
The Samsung gear watches all support Spotify offline playback. All the wearOS watches support as much local media playback as the hardware allows (I think), but managing that local library is pretty tedious and awful. Especially if like me you either listen through streaming services or streaming from a library of FLAC media on a NAS at home. With the Spotify app on my watch, I just select a playlist to be downloaded while I'm connected to WiFi and that's it. It is not flawless though, sometimes the Spotify database or authentication gets fouled up and you're unable to fix it until you return to WiFi. But I haven't had many issues with it since Samsung switched away from their own bespoke watch OS to wearOS.
So you're looking for validation, not an honest discussion. This whole thing just got more weird. You're weird.
