Daylight savings time

[BigFatMeanie]

Very interesting to me that people split between permanent daylight savings time or permanent standard time. More evidence that the current system is the best, imo.

Also, you don't seem to get as many complaints in the fall. Getting an extra hour causes less anxiety about the clocks changing than losing one in the spring.

Unless you're a computer program that logs events with timestamps in local time (because idiot users/customers don't want to just use UTC), in which case having the same hour repeated can cause you all kinds of anxiety that requires intensive therapy from a programmer to keep you happy.

The spring forward thing should happen on Monday afternoon at 4pm.

I’d be curious what a ranked choice poll of people looks like. I would guess that the time change wouldn’t get a lot of 2nd place votes.

Has this really been posed as a serious possibility? I think I'd prefer permanent standard time but I could better handle DST if the transition happened during the work week.

That was just a joke. Miss an hour of work. Get it?

Damnit! In my defense, I don't have traditional work hours and am too self centered right now to think beyond my work bubble.

All you pussies coming with the "kids walking to school in the dark" argument need to turn in your man card and become full-fledged members of the Crazy Mommy Brigade.

All you pussies coming with the "but it gets dark at 5pm" argument need to turn in your man card and become full fledged members of the crazy daddy brigade.

I was wrong about my assumption earlier. The bill introduced doesn't allow for a time change. All states would have to choose between DST or ST from what I can tell. So I can understand the opposition.

Last week it was dark when I left home to go to work and also when I got home. The warehouse I run has no windows to the outside. I do have windows in my office but they look out on other parts of the warehouse. I painted the two that look in on the other office with paint and turned them into marker boards.

Last night the sun set at 4:45.

And some of you wish it had set at 3:45.

No thank you.

Nope, it would be the opposite. Sun would set at 5:45 with daylight saving time.

The general complaint would be the sun coming up so late in the morning.

There's a clear choice for those who don't want to live under the tyranny of DST and have minimal effects on their light exposure patterns: move to Hawaii.

Got an email notifying me I could check in for my flight.
But it wouldn’t’t let me check in because while it was 24 hours until my flight, time-wise it was an hour earlier than the flight the next day. I.e Got the email at 2:15 on Saturday for my flight at 3:15 on Sunday. But the system wouldn’t let us check in until 3:15 on Saturday.


There are so many time change bugs out there.
