in thread Trouble with time zones and Sun rise/set

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";'

    High time for Austr(al)ian reunification, would also eliminate another linguistic stumble stone ... ;-)

    update

    Fun fact: Australia is named after "South" in Latin and Austria after "East" in German (pseudo-latinized) 🤦

      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";'
        Well ... I can already see Ischgl parties happening on Ayers Rock ... ;)
