Yeah, Australians have christmas at around the summer solstice and the cold season in July. I must say, spending the christmas holiday on a surfboard instead behind a snow shovel sounds quite nice. `perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'`	[reply] [d/l]

High time for Austr(al)ian reunification, would also eliminate another linguistic stumble stone ... ;-) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery} update Fun fact: Australia is named after "South" in Latin and Austria after "East" in German (pseudo-latinized) 🤦	[reply]

While i agree in principle, this could confuse tourists even more. They'd probably show up in December and try to use small surfboards to go down snowy mountains... oh wait. `perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'`	[reply] [d/l]

...I realized that in the southern hemisphere winter is coming. It took me a while as well. Strange how some things we take for granted even though intellectually we know they are not universal. Like March being spring for me at +52.45 degrees latitude!	[reply]
