They never give us enough time, you know?

I feel like the "problem" here is that we won't remember to do this in 6000 years, and the habit of doing it each leap second keeps us maintaining time, whereas the leap hour will just fall into forgotten history.

So essentially I feel like with this announcement, scientist are basically saying "balls to this, we're done here".

The year 8k problem.

Remember to future-proof your code against the year 8027 problem.

So in 144000 years we either skip a leap year or don’t skip one we usually would, whichever it is

It says “more than 1,000 years”, how’d you get 6,000?
