In Montréal, today, we will only have a 58% moon coverage.
But just making a simple pin-hole "camera" to see the eclipse and take a few minutes to go out and try it out is really fun.
Waiting for April 2024!
I'd rather be phishing!

Our code has only about 3% coverage, 58% isn't so bad!

Sun coverage. FTFY.
I think we'd know if the sun got in-between the moon and the Earth.

When I was little we used to take a shallow stainless steel vessel and fill it with water and put it outside and we can easily see reflection of sun and eclipse.

I was amazed to see (via TV coverage) so many idiots taking flash photos of the eclipse!

I drove down to the Zone of Totality to watch and someone there decided to blast that song twice in an hour. Fortunately they were polite enough to not do so during the actual event.
Also, is it just me or does the "Zone of Totality" sounds like some comic book super villain's domain?

Yep.
When I read it, I read with the narrator's deep thunderous voice "ZONE...OF....TOTALLLLIIITY", or something like that.

By any chance was it James Earl Jones or Christopher Lee? Because that's who I heard.

My bet is he did nothing for 3 months and used this bs to cover that up.

Always nice to find someone to blame. My "experience" tells me for at least 90% I'm the Problem.

The idiot. If he has 5,000 files and doesn't back them up regularly, then I have little sympathy. Hard drives fail - it's not a case of "if" but "when". Backup, and regularly. Swearing blaming others for your stupidity doesn't make you right...
Mind you, I've had that sinking feeling. That "oh gawd, no ... I didn't. Yes, I did." moment. That's why I backup! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Wow. All my stuff exists in four places beside the repository. I might lose a few hours of work at most since backups are through batch files and are done two or three times per day.

I wonder which part of "Discard" was unclear to him.
