@darius when fast travelling becomes environmentally infeasible, and our global communication networks break into local partitions, or warring fractions – we won't have to coördinate any more!

@darius I've done enough date-related stuff with Javascript both at work and at home that I'm pretty sure I'd have shot myself if I didn't have Moment.js or Luxon tbh.
