No response needed here :)

So I was wrong on the specific example of .today(), but asking the
question the other way is at least helpful. Maybe the best solution is
exactly what Roy already posted, or maybe there's some other way to
achieve that. In any case, there is a solution, albeit not as clean as
I would have liked.

Twelve or twenty-four? Or are you thinking we should all be an even
number of hours away from UTC, which would also work?
