Short term. Medical advice.
It's my civic duty to support the NZ hospitality industry during difficult times. Any indefinite abstinence on my part would cripple them.
I'm still doing my bit. It hasn't taken more than a few days to train the staff at my local to open one of these as I walk through the door.

Merry Xmas @MN5
Fuck off.
YYYY-MM-DD - this is the hill I die on.you're an anachronism - just like me. Cloud is making file systems defunct for increasing numbers of documents.
I'm with you, but also in the YYYYMMDD camp
Moving to the US - MM/DD/YYYY - absolute fluffybunny of a thing. It winds me up every time I'm forced to use it. Stupid fucking pricks - worst of all worlds. GOM.
We're essentially a North American company.
Several of our templates have MM-DD-YYYY format. Some which may be legal docs like Safety Plans and such. Leads to confusion eg., Twelfth of March can easily read as Third of December.
Have suggested to our local WHS types that they push for these docs gets changed (say to MMMM-DD-YYYY if they insist on stoopid Seppo Bullshit) but I'm a regional nobody...

The military loves that for the simple reason simple people can immediately understand it without making fuck ups. Or at least as few as possible.

I think you'll find immortals don't tend to use these systems after 999 years or so.
