Ugh - the off-hour timezones are awful (speaking as a software engineer) -They're still debating here whether to get rid of DST or make DST permanent. I sooo hope we get rid of the fucking DST here. Our winter-time is already 40 minutes off (the Netherlands should actually be in the Greenwich timezone!), permanent DST would make our time 1 hour and 40 minutes off by default.

We should just all adopt a single time zone and adjust working hours locally. While banks may be open 09:00 - 17:00 in parts of Europe, they'd be open, say 16:00 - 00:00 elsewhere.
Which makes me wonder about Notty's book of lore - does it include the sidereal and synodic day lengths for Ophion?
Earth's day length:
Sidereal: approximately - 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.0905 seconds
Synodic: mean - 24 hours, 2.5 milliseconds
