I was aware of leap seconds after working for an online auction website. How to deal with all the auctions that may be ending right at or before the leap second? Our solution was simple: temporarily pause all the auctions :) We already had

in California, at least SoCal, this "rule" has no meaning, as the congestion is at maximum level. there are simply too many cars for fast traffic to even be possible. even during non-rush hour periods the congestion is ridiculou
