GPT 3.5 gives me 22 days in June and a fairly simple working out.

GPT 4 answers 20 days (wrong) and an overly complicated working out where it spends most of its time explaining Zeller's Congruence to find day of the week for the start day of June. By the time I read it I could probably have gone and found a paper calendar and counted.

Most affiliate networks provide product data feeds for a lot of their members.

Nearly all affiliates I've seen prevent scraping in their terms and conditions of affiliation.. they will also have a limit of the types of marketing you can do, which may exclude comparison sites.

Alternatively, write a few blog articles on some of the products you are comparing and add some links to them, then you have content.

Found out both my father and I possibly had a tendency to iron overload (or haemochromatosis). Blood test then found both of us to have very high iron stored in bodies.

High stored iron is linked with all sorts of bad stuff in the body, particularly CAD.

We've been displaying Amazon CPM display ads on a site for over 2 years now. This is an ad network for affiliates, but paid by CPM. It's mostly a mix of large brand adverts and Amazon remarketing ads (normally for products you've looked at).

The service is about to be shutdown though at the end of this month, and their suggestion is that we apply to their larger header bidding network (Unified Ad Marketplace), but not sure we'll qualify for that.

OMG!!! But Dark mode!!! It's like, so, so cool ...

I can't believe I can be allowed to change the colours of the desktop after years of Jony Ive dictating/advising what my desktop should look like.

Yes, it was a timezone bug. The page was tracking January 20 (but at midnight in UTC timezone), so some people would see Jan 19, some Jan 20. It's now fixed.

Sorry, the 19th was a timezone issue and is now fixed.

The reason for 2 events/pages are that they are tracking different events.

1) The day of the inauguration (start of the day) 2) The start time of the inauguration ceremony (12pm ET on the 20th).

The latter will allow you to count down the time to the start of the ceremony in your local timezone.

Thanks for the feedback. The blurry coloured backgrounds are just images (placeholder images really) but they transition in using CSS. This is a bit more obvious on the pages that have a "proper" background image.

I'll look at adding an option to allow users to disable the transitions.

All the countdowns will use your computer/phones local timezone.

If you're counting to a date (without a particular time), you'll get the remaining time to midnight in your own timezone. If it's an event with a time, you'll see the start time of the event shown in your local timezone (but the countdown/remaining time will be same everywhere).

Yes, you discovered quite a few of the "hidden" urls - also /when-is/.

Originally, the site had exactly as you described with a cleaner url, but SEO had different ideas.

Thanks to whoever posted this, I'm the owner of the site.

Thanks for all the suggestions and feedback. Quite a lot of the feature suggestions made here, I am in the process of developing. The site was basically an MVP for a bigger app, which is why only a handful of events are in the events list.

Feel free to send any feedback via the site (feedback button in bottom right of site)

Slack already does this on paid accounts. If a given user isn't active for a month then they don't get charged.

I guess the small difference with Slack is that they know you'll nearly always have more than 1 user.
