    The first argument is silly. You could simply search “Sunrise time Melbourne”.

    The second argument is also silly. Some people do work jobs overnight, and they don’t say they work 19:00-24:00 + 0:00-2:00

    They simply say “I’m working Friday from 19 till 2”

    Third argument is the same as the first. Look up “sunrise time Melbourne”.

    Besides, a single format timezone works best when the people who use it are prepared to let technology dictate floating values.

    Sunrise time is always changing, and our bodies have evolved to wake with the sun, not with some arbitrary number.

    That’s why I use Suntimes to wake up.

    I set my alarm to “sunrise minus one” and I always wake up one hour before sunrise.

    I work from home, so work always starts for me “sunrise plus one”.

    I set my alarm to tell me to sleep at “sunrise minus 10” and I get 8.5 hours sleep which is fine for me.





  • Well, no, but the value isn’t so much in raw resources as much as it is facilitating the means of processing them.

    Like, sure, you could try to make several trips from the swamp back to your main base, or, you could set up a swamp base and process the iron you find while you’re there, circumventing the need to load up a boat full of nothing but scrap iron.
