So is that a bug in DateTime? If I subtract one epoch time from another and add shouldn't they end up together? Or is it just too weird to code for? Maybe a better solution than adding seconds would be just moving to that epoch slice, I'd have to create a new datetime using from_epoch (unless there is a way to do that on an existing object other than date math) but it would remove any math inconsistencies. I was wondering about leap seconds since it only happened in that one time frame but wasn't sure where to check for it, thanks.
