gollark: No. That would be very inconvenient. If I was doing it manually I'd binary-search it anyway.

gollark: I've got a time down to probably 10 seconds of accuracy with my automated thingy, but more precision is better.

gollark: I'll try and pin down the precise ToD before then then.

gollark: Great!
