SpaceNews · Eutelsat resolves OneWeb leap year software glitch after two-day outage
@natejung is SILO dropping in on go or is it weekly? I'll be waiting for the entire season before subbing.
As for what I'm playing, I picked up #LeapYear and #MindOverMagnet last night so I'm going to jump into one of those after taking a few days off any games.
Here’s a great explanation of leap year, Gregorian calendar, and the days of the week by Neil deGrasse Tyson on the latest StarTalk podcast episode.
I guess it’s Olympics time again. And election year here. And leap year. I think that’s a conspiracy that they all fall together each time.

store.steampowered.comLeap Year on SteamLeap Year is a clumsy platformer about knowledge and discovery. Explore a compact, hand drawn world filled with hidden paths. Understand the game’s secrets to reach new areas and collect all the pages of your calendar.
EDIT: fixed (for now) - thanks to everyone for all the help!

I guess I'll put this out there since now I've met @guffo who's having the same issue.
My work laptop is Windows 10 and after Leap Day this year, my Teams shows meetings a day ahead for some reason on the calendar, but with the correct date on the meeting itself. Nearly missed a meeting Monday, but luckily since the day itself is correct on the meeting, it notified me and I noticed it. All the meetings still just show on the wrong day - a full day ahead.
Tried restarting Teams, the whole machine, nothing. Can find NOTHING about it online anywhere. Any ideas to fix are welcome, or anyone else dealing with this, or anyone else who wants to talk about how shitty Teams is. 
"Over the course of centuries, a calendar with no leap years would eventually become totally out of sync with the seasons as we know them."

Can you imagine anything -- ANYTHING -- even remotely more annoying and painful than being on this cruise with these people, listening to their endless, "LOOK AT ME, I'M ONLY 8 YEARS OLD!!! HAHAHA!!! AIYEEEE!!!" etc. ?

Wow, March the first. Finally.
I sure am glad that yesterday didn't really exist and all those things I said aren't real.

And now I think I'll leap back into bed. See you in another four years.
