Where I live, the difference is almost six months!

Compiler-brain.

So roughly your latitude is 40 degrees ?

Of course this is meant as a joke, but wanted to emphasize how easy it is for location information to leak. And if one really doesn't care about collateral deaths how easy it is to exploit location data.

We’re I live it is a little bit more than 21 hours. Quite noticeable.

I lived briefly where the sun doesn't really shift that much in the sky. I didn't think about it at the time, but that constant noon day sun really messed with my sense of time passing. Weird.
