BP is based on an absolute date, 1950 — that’s the radiocarbon baseline date.

Yeah... I'm aware of all of that... it's one more calendar for me to track.

The way I normally track stuff, it's about 1341103503. Also based on an arbitrary date of Jan 1st, 1970. Plus or minus the leap second we're stacking on that today.

And of course, Gregorian.

But Julian, depending on if I'm reading old russian books.

We're old enough to pick ONE standard and stick with it.

And figure out what we mean about what a second is.

I bitch about time eternally.
