Reply to What time is it on moon? Europe pushing for lunar time zone by kangarooturd

There are a few mentions of how time is kept on the moon in "Artemis" by Andy Weir. He does his research pretty well and is a pretty comprehensive researcher, so his ideas are probably worth consideration.

One way time is kept is through the use of "Earth Time," which is the time on Earth. Most residents of Artemis, the city on the moon where the story takes place, keep track of Earth Time so they can stay in sync with the rest of the world.

There is also a "Lunar Standard Time," which is a time zone that is based on the location of Artemis on the moon. This time zone is used by people who work in the moon's tourism industry and by some of the government officials on the moon.

Finally, there are also references to the use of "mission elapsed time" (MET), which is a system used by astronauts to keep track of the time since the start of a mission. This system is used by some characters in the book who work for the lunar mining company.

Reply to New bill would eliminate Florida Democratic Party by oranjemania

>While it does not mention the Democratic party's name, it would direct the Florida Division of Elections to "immediately cancel the filings of a political party, to include its registration and approved status as a political party, if the party’s platform has previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude."

So....does this mean they're ok with politically disenfranchising any person or organization displaying a Tennessee Battle Flag?
