I wish I hadn't posted something, otherwise you would have tied the record for turning a lighthearted discussion here into U.S. bashing. My apologies.

Wow, way to take a joke and act defensively! It's a joke - I hardly see America getting it's dates in a weird format* the worst thing I could say - uptight much!?

* Yup, most of the world works to the more obviously logical DD/MM/YYYY

Only if you get your dates in a weird order, like the US does ;)

The US format has the advantage when it means you get to celebrate with pie. I mean, 14.3 is nothing :o

I'll just leave this here... http://xkcd.com/1179/ ;)

Whew! Way to lose it dude, maybe I was kidding too. Anyway, YYYY/MM/DD is more logical than that. MM/DD/YYYY is like that because that's the way that is it spoken in English.

Back on topic! Wouldn't the best time of day to celebrate this be at 3:49:21 AM?

    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/  
    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
