I run a lifestyle business. Max 40h per week. No all-nighters, no crazy shifts, no always-connected.

My mnemotechnic rule is to look at what comes next. If 1pm comes next, then it's 12pm before that. 12am is therefore midnight cause there's 1am after that.

Spain has three different timezones: one for the peninsula (CEST), one for the Canary Islands (one hour less) and one for the fascists (70 years less).

So basically "expat" is an euphemism for "wealthy immigrant". Seems like under a certain way of living you're just an immigrant, in this classist & excluding society.

This is what happens in software projects where the CEO decides the launch date based on arbitrary deadlines.
This is what happens to your launchpad when you think it would be funny to launch to the world's largest rocket on 4/20, instead of when it's ready.
It will probably be at least a year before the FAA will approve another Starship launch.
