Ruby Time vs DateTime
# From https://gist.github.com/pixeltrix/e2298822dd89d854444b / https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.3.0/libdoc/date/rdoc/DateTime.html
# "Almost certainly you'll want to use Time since your app is probably dealing with current dates and times."
# Here's a practical example
require "time"
# The line below is probably set different for your system, or not at all
# On macOS I can see this with `sudo systemsetup -gettimezone`
# I'm in Montreal so for the examples to work you need to pretend to be as well
ENV["TZ"] = "America/Toronto"
