Where I live, I find it wild that there is a 5.75-hour difference between the summer and winter solstices, nearly a quarter of a whole day.

For Orkney the difference in day length between winter and summer solstices is about 12 hours?

So roughly your latitude is 40 degrees ?

Now if you disclose your local time offset from GMT, say, Palantir can send a drone carrying roses.

Of course this is meant as a joke, but wanted to emphasize how easy it is for location information to leak. And if one really doesn't care about collateral deaths how easy it is to exploit location data.
