What time is SOTU?
Was just looking back wondering if pastebin kept timestamps of when pastes were made. Wanted to see what the PPM were on election day. I forgot I baked 20 breads that day.
It's going to be Biblical

Iconic American televangelist Pat Robertson - who famously predicted an asteroid would hit the Earth after Donald Trump was reelected in 2020 - came out of retirement Monday to say Russian President Vladimir Putin was being 'compelled by God' to invade Ukraine.
'I think you can say, well, Putin's out of his mind,' Robertson, 91, said during a special appearance on his old show, the Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club, of the Russian president's decision to invade the neighboring nation.
'And yes, maybe so,' the aging voice of conservative Christianity - who boasts an estimated net worth between $200m and $1 billion, according to the Observer - conceded.
'But at the same time, he's being compelled by God.'
Televangelist Pat Robertson, 91, came out of retirement Monday to say Russian President Vladimir Putin was being 'compelled by God' to invade Ukraine
Robertson, who called it quits on a sixty-year career as the head - and founder - of the Christian broadcasting giant in October, spoke to the camera as he told the show's roughly 1million daily viewers that Ukraine is simply a 'staging area' for an even greater, 'End of Times' battle that will eventually take place in Israel.
'He went into Ukraine, but that wasn't his goal. His goal was to move against Israel, ultimately,' the Christian commentator said, citing the Book of Ezekiel as he prophesized nations eventually aligning with Russia to rise up against the Middle-Eastern nation, in a biblical battle that would conclude with Armageddon.
He urged his viewers to 'read your Bible' before the catastrophic event, because 'it's coming to pass.'
The founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network made the comments during a special appearance on the network's The 700 Club Monday, saying the Russian president was destined to bring about the 'End of Times, prophesied in the Bible
Referring to a world map, Robertson pointed to a crucial 'choke point' near nearby nations Bulgaria, Turkey, and Greece, and posited as to why Russia might want to control that area.
'And there is the land that is set up in Ezekiel 38, and you see how Ukraine is key because you see the land bridge between Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey,' Robertson noted.
He added that Muslim nations, like Turkey, would join up with Putin in the prophesized conquest of Ukraine and Israel.
Robertson previously served as the host of The 700 Club, which draws in 1million viewers daily, for more than fifty years
'He will link up with Turkey across the little [land] bridge, and they will come together,' Robert said, pointing to the map.
'And then, you look down into North Sudan, you've got a Muslim country down there, and there they all are. Persia, of course, is Iran.'
He then declared: 'And all of that area is going to be mobilized against Israel in the latter days,' adding that the subsequent 'End of Times' Armageddon event - which of course would result in the world being wiped out - would be God's way of saying, 'I am going to deal with it.'
Conservative broadcasting giant famously said in 2020 that an asteroid would hit the Earth five year after Donald Trump was reelected
Turkey has not backed or expressed plans to join in on Russia's invasion, and has asserted its support for Ukraine.
The prediction from the elderly broadcaster is just the latest a series of so-far-unfulfilled prophecies forecasting the end of the world, many made in in his old age.
In 1976, the CBN talking head predicted that 'there is going to be a judgment on the world' that would result in its end in 1982.
In his 1990 book, The New Millennium, Robertson again asserted that the world would be destroyed on April 29, 2007, USA Today reported at the time.
In 2006, he predicted the Pacific Northwest would be devastated by a tsunami, and that 'mass killings' would be unleashed in America in 2007.
None of the events ever came to pass.

Most famously, perhaps, Robertson predicted that an asteroid would destroy the earth five years after President Donald Trump won his ill-fated re-election bid in 2020.
So far, that prediction too seems to have also been a bust.
Months before he retired, an aging Robertson faced backlash for calling 'critical race theory' a 'monstrous evil' during a June broadcast of The 700 Club.
The commentator also came under fire in his later years for waging what he viewed as a religious war against the LGBTQ community, which led to him coming under even more scrutiny.
Eventually, in October, Robertson announced during Friday airing of The 700 Club that he would be stepping down as host of the CBN's flagship program, 60 years to the day from when he founded the company in 1961 out of his home state of Virginia.

Robertson has long been a powerful figure in conservative Christianity, and even ran unsuccessfully president in 1988 (seen above), seeking to ban pornography and amend the Constitution to require a balanced federal budget

'Today's show will be my final as host of the 700 Club,' Robertson said at the time, vowing to return from time to time if he has a 'revelation' he needs to share.
'I thank God for everyone that's been involved. And I want to thank all of you,' he said.
Robertson's son Gordon since has taken over as the program's full-time host.
Robertson has long been a powerful figure in conservative Christianity, and even ran unsuccessfully president in 1988, seeking the Republican nomination in a longshot bid against incumbent George H.W. Bush.
Robertson, aside from this singular appearance, has stepped away from broadcasting, now exclusively teaching students at Regent University, which he founded in 1977.
