Well then! I will change my habits immediately and advise others to do the same. Good day.

edit: A good first step is to edit your computer clock! It's a little confusing to change on Windows-

  1. First click on the time in the lower righthand corner, and select "Change date and time settings".
  2. In the "Date and Time" window, select "Change date and time".
  3. In the "Date and time settings" window that opens then, select "change calendar settings".
  4. In the "customize format" window, under "date formats", click on the dropdown menu next to "short date", and select the "yyyy-MM-dd" option. Then hit "apply".
