Convert EDT time into Mountain Time about isthereafuckinggame HOT 4 CLOSED

Dude. You're a monster.

from isthereafuckinggame.

It turns out that EDT (what the MLB uses) is not a unique timezone. It also specifically does not obey daylight savings time so it's been a little trickier than I thought.

@bbonet-levelsbeyond is this your fork? I am about to do a huge rev which will have dramatically better mobile perf. Just an FYI, it's mostly done and will get merged to master in the next day or two.

I'm just commenting on your general activity. ;-) Of course, this is the
problem with trying to auto ingest the schedule. When I did
isthereafuckingavsgame it was a bit different, so it wouldn't surprise me
that the schema could change on a whim. Granted that risk is once per
season.

Sorry for the delay but, I've done an almost-complete rewrite and I'm using moment-tz to handle it. I know, I know I should be using Luxon or date-fns, or some other lib that takes advantage of Intl but, Moment was what I had in that moment (get it!). The relevant code is in the Schedule converter and it's a bit ugly but, it'll do. PRs welcome. Not sure yet if this breaks based on DST but, we'll see.

Let's just all prey that the [Sunshine Protection Act of 2021](https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/623/text) finally gets written into law and all this silliness can be over.

    const date = moment.tz(
      `${game["START DATE"]} ${game["START TIME ET"]}`,
      "MM/DD/YY hh:mm a",
      "America/New_York"
    );
