Just had to submit something at school. Thinking I have plenty of time, I took it. I wanted to write a note along with the submission, so I took my time until like 23:59:20 when I hit submit.

The fuck you mean submission not possible past deadline? Why is it not the next day 0:00 if exclusive?

The difference from Time.is was +0.015 seconds (±0.067 seconds).

In HS I used to do such timing for comedic purposes, guess it won’t work here.

    I learned the hard way that you really shouldn’t wait until the literal last minute. What if there’s a blip and your computer takes a couple of minutes to reconnect to the wifi? What if the upload fails and you need to retry? It’s just extra stress that you really don’t need.

    Though I get that it’s not always possible to stay on top of things, hell my final-year project was half-finished when I graduated because I literally ran out of hours in the day…
