This Easter, remember that the calculation for working out what day Easter is on every year is fucking ridiculous
@a_breakin_glass yeah, western and eastern is different because ~reasons~
@troubleMoney I mean, historically understandable calendar differences, but yeah
@troubleMoney Yes. That's why we have code for it :-)

@troubleMoney Bitch and ye shall be blessed eh? :-)
@gemlog heh, I know there's code for it but the fact that it's so goddamn complicated is the ridiculous bit
@troubleMoney I know! It's crazy! No argument!
@troubleMoney I just happened to be curating some code for it, so I thought it was funny.
@troubleMoney Orthodox Easter is a sensible one though; they hold it the first Sunday after all the Easter candy goes on clearance at all the pharmacies.
@troubleMoney i wind up reading about this every year. it's totally fascinating.
also around this time every year i wind up remembering that ncal(1) has a -e option - this time i read the man page and noticed it's also got an -o for orthodox easter.
@troubleMoney and may depend on denomination
