* For ChatScheduling, we give all times as GMT/UTC. It puts us all on an equal footing and makes figuring out when to showup for the chat much easier.

* We use ISO-8601 as our TimeDateFormat (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss) in this group:

6099-02-10T20:40:30

That is the 10th of February, 6099 @ 20:40:30

ISO-8601 used a 24-Hour clock (00:00:00 to 23:59:59).

* We use a 24-Hour Clock in this group (00:00:00 to 23:59:59).

* The 1 true CircleConstant is τ (Tau):

τ = c / r ≈ (Base10) 6.283185307179586 ≈ (Balanced Ternary) ⬛︎▲◯.⬛︎◯▲,▲◯▲,⬛︎⬛︎◯;◯▲⬛︎,⬛︎◯▲,▲◯▲;⬛︎▲▲,◯◯◯,◯◯⬛︎

I wanted to join again this group that I was part of creating to apologize to everyone for the above.

I don't know how anyone who isn't a robot finds the above helpful. It isn't. It obfuscates rather than illuminates, unnecessarily complicating language in a noble but misguided attempt to avoid confusion.

It is the great tragedy of the above that the quest for greater fidelity can be so utterly and obviously self-defeating, and the remarkable hubris it takes to maintain this level of self-delusion to how ridiculous it sounds is truly impressive.

(I would like to add, Walabio, that you completely forgot to explain that you're using the Holocene calendar, like a jackass, and just assumed people would know that you are.)
