- Exacerbate
Make the flying of the aircraft much harder than it should be.

Only to be done after stopping, and to be followed by listening.
- Satiate

Yes I know I didn’t do that right.
Try not to hate
- Bloviate-
Make the co-pilot listen as you expound on topics you know nothing about.
I know why 1-jan-1970 is a common date for file creation. Probably a lot of files created on 1-jan-1980, too. Apparently, 30-dec-1899 is the default date in Excel when no date is entered. Which was selected to be compatible with another program hinted at in the title-text.
I find the arbitrary starting date 50+ years ago really irritating. They couldn’t give me just a few more years?
When I was ripping my CD library into flac and mp3 files a few years back I really wanted to timestamp each album folder with the actual day of the album release. Then I could easily flip between alphabetical and chronological just in explorer.
Of course no joy because some of that music came out in the '60s, which predates the windows file system date range.
Just because Time Zero is in 1970 does not mean you cannot represent dates before that, internally stored as negative integers. Did you try setting the timestamps to the dates you wanted?
Works fine under Linux; I have not tested Windows yet.
Aside on the last one: What was that 80s song with a long stretch in the middle of words rhyming with “ate”? I’m sure I should remember it…
“Mediate,” by INXS.
(And “try not to hate” made me laugh out loud. 
)
Yes. They just appeared blank in explorer. Took me a hot minute to figure out why, until I remembered that the date format had a starting date.
(Either they were blank, or they were just set to the beginning, 1980 or whatever. This would have been in 2018 when I did this, so I had already upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.)
It does not have quite the same ring as “Nazi punks fuck off”
And I find that, most often, it’s December 31, 1969, at 7:00 PM.
Since you’re in the Eastern Time Zone, that’s midnight UTC.
