  • ~$ echo $TZ
    
    ~$ cat /etc/timezone
    
    America/New_York
    

    But it’s working now for some reason, so I dunno. I would guess that this means I don’t have a user timezone set?

    For fun, I changed the TZ in the clock menu (Date and Time - System Settings) to something outlandish and tried the same commands - No change in the terminal, but the system tray clock did change to the new TZ. Still blank $TZ and America/New_York. I dunno.


  • Yeah I’m not 100% sure what happened there - I took the screenshot next to the current time so y’all could see the three hour difference. I was flipping time zones in the settings back and forth to try and fix it because it seemed stuck, but obviously the times match in the picture. Either it fixed itself while I was messing with it, or I was an idiot and took the picture while I had it set to the wrong time zone (which, factoring in the mysterious incorrect offset, was the correct time). I’m not sure.










  • I have many gray hairs, but here’s what I know.

    • Highkey and lowkey - obvious and subtle.

    • fax is “facts” - true. Often in the sense of agreement.

    • Fuck around and find out - do something risky and reap the consequences

    • It’s giving - how it makes you feel, or what it reminds you of.

    • Cap and no cap - lying and telling the truth.

    • Big yikes - bad, especially cringey.

    • Tea - (n) gossip. (v) “spill the tea”

    • Shoutout - give credit to someone. I don’t think this one makes much sense here.

    • Yap - talk, especially too much or unnecessarily.

    • Yeet - throw, often without careful aim. (Unlike “Kobe”, which is a throw with aim)
